...and get there fast. Fortunately, you look in your garage to find these famous cars all at your disposal. Which is your ride? And yes, chicks will definitely be watching.

Magnum's Ferrari was wrecked more times than David Wells.

My gut was to say DeLorean, but having people yell "1.21 jigowatts!" at you every twenty seconds would get annoying quickly. Pass on Starsky, because the show was before my time. The General Lee is tempting, but climbing out of the windows would be cool the first time and then really tedious after that.

I'd like to go off the grid and vote Batmobile, but if not, I'd prolly choose the Delorean, even though it sorta had some mechanical issues.

If I can't time travel in the DeLorean then it's a no-brainer - I'm taking the 1969 Dodge Charger with the 440 Magnum Mopar engine.

Thought about including the Batmobile, then left it out because no one in their right minds would ever choose another car. Ever.

Are we just talking about judging the car on its merits, or with cultural cachet attached? Like, in this imaginary world where we have our choice of these cars, is it known that I'm driving the Starsky car, or is it just, like, a cool Gran Torino? Also, time-travel aside, do these cars work exactly like they did in their respective shows/films?

Can I trade the Delorean in for the Gran Torino?, the damn Dolorean is a piece of crap to drive.

Every car can do what it's supposed to do except that the Delorean can't time travel (that would make it a runaway I would think).

Can I paint over any confederate flags on the vehicle?

No, you can't. Nor can you unseal the doors. You also can't take off all the ducts and stuff from the Delorean (though you can remove the giant hook since it wasn't there originally). You can't replace the hand-placed light on the Gran Torino with a permanent structure. You can't replace the racing steering wheel on KITT, and you can't take miles off of Cameron's odometer by driving it reverse.

James Bond's Aston Martin is looking mighty appealing, especially with its' functioning ejector seat. I also like the restored Dodge-Plymouth SuperBird that Joe Dirt ended up with. Is it a bad thing to want what Joe Dirt wants?

Rethinking my answer. Does KITT come with the brilliant computer that can scan the environment and drive for me?

If I can't travel through time, I don't really care. But getting to hang out with Mia Sara would be nice.

I would take the Bond Aston Martin in a heartbeat if we're going off the board (and not going Bats).

Given the choices, I went for the deLorean, but actually, I'd take Herbie. You'd not only get there on time, you'd get the girl and live happily ever after.

Going with the Ferrari - mainly because it, and the BttF DeLorean, are the only ones I really know; never watched any of the other shows. Plus I'm hoping the girl might come with it.

The DeLorean remains my favorite screen automobile. No contest.

I'm more of a Subaru girl. But choosing off the list, Cameron's dad's Ferrari is really nice.

Been on a recent Starsky & Hutch DVD binge. Never watched it in first-run. I stand by that decision. But man, I was thinking recently, what a cool car.

If you have a young boy, that SuperBird is associated with one and only one character:

Lightyear Tires. Nice.

I want the Starsky and Hutch car. That was the first car I ever, you know, noticed.

Yikes. But I went with KITT; red cars disturb me.

I'd keep the Batmobile locked safely in my compound, but if I wanted to cruise the strip, I'd do in the MunsterKoach, or whatever it was called.

I drive a red car.

How about the "Risky Business" Porsche?
