Gotta love the fact that the villans are a Gremlin and Pacer. C'mon Disney...they weren't THAT bad...GM did give us the Vega and Malcomb Bricklin the Yugo...(Coming from an AMO member and AMC Eagle owner...full disclosure!)

Either the "Thorndyke Special" or Christine. She probably takes the cake.
Two of my favs are here...Duel and Used Cars. Another....that has nothing to do with cars so much as the car business is "Suckers". The most accurate depiction of the old age of selling cars...complete with correct lingo and all.
Why, yes. Yes I am!!! I think they were "digitally altered" to make them less awesome.
Wasn't she enhanced for the movie? Or..."un-enhanced" to put it..uh..more...frank?
Cheesy as it may be, everyone, and I mean everyone, knows Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Thank you for choosing this picking some fantastic scenes. I actually just learned the other day what the "Thorndyke Special" was. I always thought it was a Lamborghini as a kid, for some reason. But there are some genuinely true parts even to Herbie in the movie. You ever notice how he can't go up hills very fast,…
What's also remarkable are the rather severe character flaws Herbie as a sentient entity has. These are flaws dark enough that there's no way they would end up in a kid's movie today. Herbie is jealous, impulsive, and exhibits behavior that we would likely diagnose as bipolar today. He's prone to intense highs on the…
Mine too. I need to watch it again, as being 25 now, I probably will understand a lot that I didn't pick up watching it 3652 times between the time of 6-10 years of age.
I really wish I could retract my vote and switch to the Renault. I chose the BMW (price being no object) because the Renault is actually a little TOO weird for me. And, I hate FWD. HOWEVER...I sort of missed the part about the Bimmer being $20k. CRACKPIPE! I guess I'll take to being French.
37. Because you fucking love cars so much you can feel it right in your goddamn chest.
Which, quite frankly, we could include on this list as well. Pretty miserable car to drive....especially when you can have a Corolla on the other side of the showroom for the same mone.
So there isn't anything to be said for bespoke leather and trim? ;)
Hands down winner...if we are including leftovers...the 2013 Chevy Impala. I'm pretty sure you could spend upwards of $30,000 on whatever the top of the line was (LTZ?). It is basically the same car you could buy in 1995 as the Lumina. And, keep in mind, that Lumina wasn't really that different from the first one.…
I've had no less than four Panthers, and this would basically be the most fun thing ever. I'm pretty sure the best one I ever had for this duty was the '97 G.Marq. That thing was a ton of fun...especially in the snow with studs.
Wood on the wheel arches? Yes please!
This was hard. I'm an AMC freak, and we are a very strange and odd group of people. I have an Eagle. To see how big a freak I am, I have seen BOTH of these cars for sale before I ran into this post. This is how this needs to go down. If someone wants a a cool, unique older car, the Gremlin is the way to go. One will…
This was REALLY hard. I have a huge soft spot for Thunderbirds of most vintages (I have a distain for the '73-76). However, I never liked this edition...I think it looks utterly weird with the rear windows removed. AND....this Imperial is distinctive in a way only an early-'80's American luxury car can be. I just hope…
I'm going to have to write to AMO (American Motors Owners' Association) and see if I can register a Kenosha-built Renault. I can't believe they moved Eagle production to Canada to build that thing (I have an Eagle). However, for sheer oddity purposes, I would still take the Renault in this comparison. Imported from…
Imagine hitting your head on THAT! So much for padded dashes ;)
