ZURICH — Swiss automobile manufacturer BernRubber has rolled out a new model, the GrimmReaper, which cannot be shifted out of neutral.

“Our goal with this car is to reflect how our country has managed to stay out of foreign warfare for many years,” stated Gottfried Koller, BernRubber’s CEO. “However, just because the vehicle cannot be moved into drive, does not mean you will be stationary forever. If people need to travel, they can take advantage of the gravity offered by many of our beautiful mountain roads. Also, we have a proud tradition of bobsledding in this nation, which was portrayed so accurately in the 1993 comedy hit ‘Cool Runnings.’ Our citizens will have no problem pushing the sedan around if necessary.”
