But this Futurama episode was already done (and purposely copied in the episode) by the 1983 movie about a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. The movie and the possessed car in it was named "Christine". That's also a Plymouth fury in the same colors in the Futurama episode.

The point of the Futurama cars is that they're AIs/robots with robo-lycanthropy

Are you suggesting the Cruz vehicle had robo lycanthropy??!!?

No, that's just the meme image.

The Cruz did it for the love of the game.

And also Bender's car form was derived from the 1977 horror B-movie The Car, which was a Lincoln Continental modified to have a menacing visage.

And the movie is the adaptation of a Stephen King book
