MyStarCollectorCar is caught up in the holiday spirit, so we chose to alter our regular ‘What’s It Wednesday’ format because today is Christmas Day, and it takes top billing with us.
We would like to thank Michener-Allen Auctioneering for their ‘What’s It Wednesday’ sponsorship over the past year because it allows us to give free access to this feature every Wednesday, including today.

MyStarCollectorCar felt our readers should be treated to a special “What’s It? Wednesday” so we chose a different way to present our mystery vehicle for this occasion. Consequently, the format will change for today from two isolated photos of the vehicle that specifically obscure its identity to a few questions that will lead directly to our answer.
The first question is simple: What vehicle gets a million miles per gallon? Good mileage has always been a burning issue for vehicle owners, particularly when pump prices have climbed at Mt Everest levels over the past few years, so any vehicle with otherworldly fuel consumption is the stuff of dreams.
The second question also has an otherworldly quality to it: What vehicle travels at a zillion miles per hour? You can rule out every version of the Starship Enterprise, including the ones with a control panel that was compromised by evil aliens who hijacked the vessel-very easily on too many occasions. Besides, any Enterprise Starship would be left behind in the space dust by this vintage vehicle.
The third question has a practical angle: What vehicle of modest dimensions has infinite storage capacity for long trips? If you guessed minivan or classic station wagon, you would be way-way off. Even though the two famous kid and grocery haulers have plenty of storage space built right into them by specific design, they are not even remotely close to our mystery vehicle.
The fourth and final ‘What’s It Wednesday’ question will likely give away the answer: What powers our mystery vehicle? The answer is not horsepower, even though it would understandably be the go-to choice for our MyStarCollectorCar readers because we have showcased all things horsepower for the past 15 years on our electronic pages.
The real answer is the mystery vehicle is powered by game animals, namely reindeer. The vehicle’s source is a random mixture of hooves and limitless power not typically found in critters with antlers. The net result is a lightning-fast but lovable power source for the vehicle in question.
At this point, most people will likely have guessed the answer to our Yuletide version of ‘What’s It Wednesday’: Santa’s sled, arguably one of the most famous rides in history-most certainly in kid world. MyStarCollectorCar had to pick this Santa hauler for our mystery vehicle because, well, it’s Christmas and we want to celebrate the day.
Best of the season to every one of our MyStarCollectorCar readers, have a great Christmas and thanks for your support all year round. We truly appreciate your support and hope you’re having the happiest of holidays right now.
