When you think of all-time great comedy series Arrested Development‘s best running gags, many things come to mind. Just to name a few: the Bluth family’s inability to impersonate a chicken, Tobias’ (David Cross) jean shorts, GOB’s (Will Arnett) magician act, and “I’ve made a huge mistake”. Here at Celebrity Cars though, our favorite running joke was the Bluth’s only mode of tranportation: The Stair-Car. After George Bluth Sr. gets sent to prison, the Bluths lose most of their posessions and are left to drive around in the stair-car that used to allow them access to their now-impounded private jet. Usually driven by Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), the car doesn’t run very well (bad breaking distance, and we believe no power steering), and was always in danger of getting “hang-ons” (people jumping on the stairs at stop lights). In fact, during Michael’s visits to see George Sr., the car facilitated a couple of prison breaks with hang-ons and even someone running clean up the stairs and over the prison wall. With an Arrested Development mini-series and feature film in the works, we should see the stair-car back in action soon, and we’re nothing but excited about it.
