Not the only thread. This one though, is definitely the front runner.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop?

The green Gremlin reminded me of a sort of friend who needed a car. I had a neighbor who bought a used 1975 AMC Pacer for his three sons to learn about cars. This was in the late 1990s. I called John to tell him I found a running car for $100 if he wanted it. His response, "What color is it?" I told him green and he said, "I guess I can paint it."

It wasn't Olive Drab green, was it?

If it had been, then it would have been camouflaged and you would not have seen it. Hey, nobody saw MOST Gremlins. They avoided them subconsciously.

The AMC Spirit was a gremlin with a rear end. My wife bought a 1980 with 232 six and with the distributer advanced, on premium gas, performed quite well. She didn't like my adjustment because it chirped the tires when she did a sudden acceleration so it had to go back stock.

Those are not representative images of gremlins. You have to go to the original source material, written by Roald Dahl, to get it right:

Are those Gremlins from the Kremlin?

The most important rules about the Gremlin:

(1) Don't take it out during the day.
(2) Don't wash it or drive it when it's raining.
(3) Don't fill it up with gasoline after midnight.

From Warner Brothers studios - so I'd say they're "Burbank Gremlins"

I believe it's entitled "Gremlins from the Kremlin". You might also want to see the aviation documentary "Falling Hare", Warner Brothers 1942(?) for more information on Gremlins.

I think I've seen both of those when I was a kid.
They were very alike except for the ending.
In one the aircraft falls in a screaming dive, stops about 5 feet up from the ground, Bugs Bunny jumps out, and says " out of gas "

The next one same screaming dive, again stops about 5 feet up. This time Bugs jumps out and tells us, " air brakes "

You are right. They were singing "We're Gremlins from the Kremlin".

Russian Rhapsody was the one where the Gremlins were harassing Hitler, too.
