Professor McFwain stepped on the accelerator, and the Hindustan-eight sort of threw itself forward - the car has a desperate way of moving, as though it was hurling itself off a cliff.
Professor McFwain evidently enjoyed driving, even though the car shuddered as though it was terrified, lurched, hesitated, and then lurched forward again. I wasn't sure if it was the Hindustan-eight or the way Professor McFwain drove - maybe a little of each.
- Daniel Pinkwater, Yobgorgle: Mystery Monster of Lake Ontario, p. 214 in 4 Fantastic Novels
