Mike Watt - The Boat (aka a white Ford Econoline).*

*This one is true.

True as in it's his actual mode of transportation, and also because it's years old and beat-up, but it keeps on going.

Can't think of anything more obvious than Grateful Dead/VW Bus.

xpost - Is that the "Mike's Car Jam" car from "Double Nickels"?

Primal Scream - Dodge Challenger but with the 5-litre V8 removed and replaced with an 1100 cc straight four from a morris minor.

No, I think that one is the car from the cover pic, which Wikipedia says was a VW Beetle. But he's been driving the Boat since at least the early '90s.

Why do we have to listen to the Minutemen again?

Their fans maybe. I would personally peg the Dead as motorcycles and American muscle cars. Here's a sampling of Bob's taste, though:

Fugazi - A Toyota Prius converted to run on PMA. Or a bicycle made for four.

System of A Down - A Fire Engine

Merge Records indie bands = dark green Honda Accords from the 1990s that are hand-me-downs from older siblings, lightly pimped with Dollar General jungle-pattern seat covers, air-fresheners and such.
