Leave the sound on.
I know what funny cars are. The narrator of the OP is funny so I co-opted the name.
Where's the van in the OP?The "narrator" was a bot that didn't even realize that the "Chevy van" it referred to was actually a Ford Econoline LOL.

When I was thirteen there was a blinding rainstorm and my dad wrapped our Econoline work van around a Sedan de Ville. Dashboard caved in on my legs and broke them in five places total. My right foot was crushed.
We will not discuss Econoline vans again. IS THAT CLEAR?
That's not a funny car.
This is a Funny Car.

The rear wheel centerlines were moved forward for better weight displacement, and not by a lot.
But enough to look "funny" and after these modifiedd drag cars began showing up, people said that they "looked a little funny" and gradually the term stuck.
This is a modern Funny Car in action.
You're just thinking of UGLY CARS, maybe they can be Fugly Cars.![]()

Funny cars exert more G forces than the space shuttle

oh, haven't seen that episode, but like the show.Old BBC Top Gear had a hilarious episode about the Multipla.
It's a volvo.. (under the hood)I'm not sure I want to like it or be horrified by it.
I guess I need to know what is under the hood.

Volvo C70, It is named the Youabian Puma and is the result of a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles deciding to build his dream car.That sounds like it would explain it but I would like to know WHAT KIND of Volvo powerplant, because believe it or not Volvo has actually managed to break out of its old mold of low-performance tanks impervious the elements and some Volvo engines are actually making some very impressive power these days.
Mind you, I am not bashing those old Volvo engines, they were very overbuilt on purpose which is why more than a few of them have racked up a MILLION miles or more, which exceeds the longevity of a good many commercial DIESEL engines.
