Batmobile - Batman The Movie
Just look at the bad boy. An amazing car that puts to any of the other Batmobiles to shame, except the 60s one and the first animated one. This car went for about half a million dollars ten years ago, and was well worth it.
Optimus Prime - Transformers
He’s not only a huge truck, but transforms into the leader of the mighty Autobots. Good old Optimus Prime was beloved by all as a symbol of wisdom for all robotkind. I’m still not a huge fan of the Transformers Movie after what they did to Optimus, but all was forgiven when he returned in season three.
Thunder Hawk - M.A.S.K.
The Thunder Hawk was M.A.S.K. leader Matt Trakker’s baby, and boy was it awesome. All the appeal of having a sports car, but it could fly as well, so it was a hit with guys and gals alike. I always loved this car as a kid, but only ended up getting a few years ago. Its funny cause a boxed one like the picture above fetches a pretty good price these days.
General Lee - Dukes of Hazzard
Looks like them Dukes boys got themselves a purdy new car. I did a quick image search on google for this baby and found so many custom remakes. I guess it is easier to redo than the Batmobile. Anyway, this car could out race any police car in all of Hazzard County, infuriating Boss Hogg all the while.
A-Team Van - The A-Team
The nomadic base of the A-Team, this van was a forced to be reckoned with. Always kept in tip top condition by B.A. Baracus, this van kept the A-Team one step ahead of Col. Decker and his military police. Man they don’t make shows like that anymore.
K.I.T.T. - Knight Rider
Not only do you have a spiffy looking sports car, but it has built in computer and AI as well. The good folks at Knight Industries pulled out all the stops with this baby, complete with Mr. Feeney for a voice. This car had it all, and made Knight Rider such an awesome show.
Pee-Wee’s Bike - Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure
It better be a pretty darn good bike to be the focus of an entire movie, and man did Pee-Wee deliver with his bike. A bike like this is every boy’s dream. That part with the clown doctors destroying it still creeps me out. Thankfully, Pee-Wee got it back and stuck it to Francis Buxton. The Buxton’s aren’t thieves my ass.
Lonestar’s Winnebago - Spaceballs
If I ever had a spaceship, man would I want it to be like this one. Built in Warp Drive and shag carpets, this one had it all. I mean, look at it. There is only one man who would dare give me raspberry. LONESTAR!
DeLorean - Back to the Future
This has to be my ultimate dream car. First its a DeLorean, which was a great symbol of the 80s, but it also has a time machine built in, so I could go back to the 80s! Apparently the company’s owner sold drugs to keep the company alive and went to jail for it. Sure you couldn’t park it in a parking lot, but that was a small price to pay to look so damn cool!
Ecto-1 - Ghostbusters
I still remember the joy and excitement as I got this toy for Christmas back in 1987. Another vehicle that would be so awesome to recreate these days. I can tell you from personal experience that people love the Ghostbusters, so having their car would automatically make you the coolest person in the history of the world. I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!
Man what an awesome decade. So has anybody made any progress with a time machine prototype? Think about how awesome it would be to go back, buy cheap toys MIB, and go to the premiere of Sleepaway Camp. Wouldn’t that be nice.
