Your fantasy vehicle!

Well, Cynic, the dubber of geekiest threads ever, apparently named this thread the second geekiest thread ever, and I know that I can do better.

So here goes.  Which vehicle would you take as your own, if you were given your choice?

Bear with me as I get this set up, I know that polls are causing problems recently.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

I chose Wonder Woman's invisible jet because I think that's where she keeps her invisible thong, and invisible dildo which I'm pretty sure would fetch a hefty price on eBay!

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

I'm gonna give a close but no cigar for the Millennium Falcon.

While it would satisfy the hot rodder in me, I don't think I could handle the stress of it breaking down just as an imperial star destroyer is bearing down on me. wink

How about a MacLaren F1? At $950,000, it's just as much a fantasy as the others on your list.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

Sorry, I think 9 is the maximum, so I can't add any more.  There are many, many great rides that I have no doubt left out, including some that I had to cut like James Bond's Aston Martin and Optimus Prime. 

It's too bad we can't have 20 poll options sad  But on the bright side, I think there's a pretty good variety there!  smile

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

Tough one... I'd say either the Defiant or the Falcon. Probably the Falcon though since she doesn't require a full crew and engineering team to run.

Oh, and it's called the X-Jet. smile

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

While the Defiant has firepower out the wazoo, and the Falcon is just badass, I'd rather have the feeling of a small craft, like an extension of my body.  The large ships just don't give you that "behind the wheel" feeling. I'd rather have the Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop, or an X-Wing (one of the more functional ones).  Fast, maneuverable, intimate, and loaded with firepower.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

I'd vote for that!  I would also vote for Blade's 1968 Dodge Charger!  These two cars are in a dead tie for my all time top dream cars.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

Well, Batmobile came really close, but only the Tim Burton one, not the crappy overdone models... I like the ones from the first two movies.

The winner, though was the Millennium Falcon; who doesn't want a space ship?  Plus, hey, I'm pretty handy, I'm sure I would be able to work out all the bugs eventually!

Of course, for today's technology, I'm sure everyone here knows the only car that I really, really, really, really, really want is the Bugatti EB Veyron with the 16 cylinder engine.  Now that is a car without compromise.

Just to keep the Mopar tangent going, I'll take Kowalski's '70 Challenger R/T from Vanishing Point, hold the amphetamines.

The Green Goblin's slide thing would definitely be the most fun, but the Batmobile would be the coolest. Vroom vroom!

FYI, I never dubbed that particular thread.  But now that you mention it...

Heretic! Here's the One True Batmobile:

I like that much better than the movie versions because it looks almost like a regular car (like some from the early 1960s, anyway), not so much like a cartoon car.
