John DeLorean. His cars may have gone largely unnoticed were it not for this man's extraordinary, scandal-filled life. I think he gave the brand a sense of danger (not to be found with the Renault engine in the back), and positioned the car to be turned into a legend.
And they had to have the tire pressure extremely high to keep those little guys on the rim.
Mercer Raceabout. This puppy was capable of over 90 MPH in 1910, and was designed to be run at 75 MPH with ease. Expensive, fast, dangerous, uncomfortable - sounds like a supercar to me.
This should be fun: getting on the train home from GCT at 5.30 on a Friday the same day the Apple Store opens. Psyched. As if it wasn't filled enough with gormless morons with cameras.
GAAH! My Eyes!
Definitely the Bristol Fighter. From the back is gorgeous, no? Check the reply for the woeful front end. In terms of pretty:ugly ratios this one takes the cake.
DeLorean
Oregon Trail on the Apple II. Cattle Drivin! Hyah!
+1. Totally agree.
Engine in the Back. They've stuck with it this long.
Fifth Element 3-axis traffic
That buying these will save the environment and make you a better person.
And Nemesis
Bowler Wildcat!
Tatra v. Porsche.
Bentley v. Bugatti
Mercedes 280SL. The End. I defy anyone not to immediately melt when confronted with one.
The wooden Nardi wheel. I don't know exactly why, but I think this is one of the prettiest and most evocative car parts on earth.
How about an 18 wheeler filled with 25 million pissed off bees?
Leno's custom Bentley Speed Six might be a good candidate too.
