That's probably the owner's manual for every F1 car to hit the grid in the past 5 years.

The Batmobile was rather unconvincing. The General Lee, on the other hand, was spot-on. Especially the yerp-ish grin.

I was really hoping to see Bandit's Trans-Am, too. Technically, Magnum's Ferrari isn't a movie car (though the General Lee is first and foremost a TV car, too). If we're going with TV cars, then I think Sonny Crockett's tres 80s Testarossa needs a Pixar alter ego, too.

Lax housing codes, or lax zoning laws, too? Because, you know, it'd be pretty funny if all the truck drivers living in Connecticut started parking their rigs in their driveways in protest...you know, too expensive to drive to work and all that.

12 grand and it hasn't run in 3 years? Bad gas, my ass.

Not to be pedantic, but it's actually mini-wan.

What, no braided stainless hose covers? I am disappoint.

Yep, I see that you beat me to it. Maybe my real surprise was that nobody had posted a pic of her yet, considering *why* she is an automotive icon.

Indeed. Even though she is not exactly a household name among non-enthusiasts, she should be. She let her skill and accomplishments speak for themselves—a lesson that has been lost on Danica Patrick.

St. James got the nod from me, too. But it's funny—when I think of her, it's in IMSA, where she was a mainstay for years. I knew she raced open-wheel cars, but I never think of her as an open-wheel racer.

I did not see that. Good man.

The term iconic in this instance implies a woman that one automatically thinks of when the subject of cars is brought up. Therefore, some of the more obscure references are out, especially when you mention them to members of the general public.

Strip away the somewhat fawning paean to the "well-to-do American man," and there is an important kernel of truth to this. There was a time when American manufacturing capability was the best in the world, and the cars we built were limited only by the imaginations of the engineers and stylists. And boy, did the…

When I was a teenager, $19,999.98 Canadian would have been like $50 US, and thus this car might have been NP. Nowadays, however, we're probably talking about $20,350 US—which is about as cracked out as Whitney Houston has been since I was a teenager.

So, so many to choose from—the inline-6 configuration is a great basis for a great many engines. Reading through everyone's answers makes me realize that we've lost a lot, sacrificed on the altar of packaging efficiency.

Indeed.

You know, the cutaway drawing is nice, but for this engine, photos are always better.

I've always liked AMCs and this is a neat example of a low, low-mileage Pacer, but I would really like to know the real story on that car. The current owner claims it started right up after being given a jump, but there's no evidence that any thought was given to preparing the car before it was put into long-term…

I live in the northern suburbs of Detroit, and I have seen M-plated Giuliettas 2-3 days per week on average for the past year. Every last one of them is painted some kind of satin black (at least partially), and about a third of them have some form of camouflaging on them. I'm getting tired of this shit. How long…
