  (#4) The Homer

  Brilliant. Why has no one made this car yet? I'm speaking specifically of the separate sound-proofed dome to enclose the kids in the back seat. Oh, and the cup holders.

  (#1) The Batmobile

  Number one. I'm not sure I even need to expand here. I mean, there's pretty much no cooler made-up set of wheels or wings out there. Batman had a different batmobile for every mood. This car could pretty much do whatever Batman needed it to do whenever he needed it done. And we're talking super-specific stuff. Like, what if he needed a car that could ski down a mountain on a moment's notice? No prob, he just so happened to bring the one that had the skis in the wheel wells... you know... thank goodness he is always thinking ahead. What if he'd brought the one where the tires turn into inflatable rafts? How would he get out of the way of the avalanche then? Although, you know, BATMAN. I'm sure he would have figured something out.

  (#12) Speed Buggy

  • TV Program

  Hey, look! Another Hanna-Barbera cartoon! This was another terrible show, but sadly very successful. Despite, as USUAL... HB's trademarked cheapskated laziness in terms of writing and animating.

  Speed Buggy was a car that talked and said things like "Roger-Dodger!" and "Vroom-a-zoom-zomm!" Agggh! Hate! Welling up inside me! Hey, trivia! Mel Blanc was the voice of Speed Buggy!

  Still hate it.

  (#5) The Invisible Jet

  This picture alone makes me smile. So awesome. The levels of WTF involved in the entire concept of an invisible plane that does not actually make the user herself, invisible. What if she had a whole planeload of clowns she had just rescued from the slave-circus? Imagine what that would look like. I can't think the POINT of having a stealthy jet that was only stealthy if no one was using it... was really very clearly thought-out. Or maybe there was a lot of laughing and snorting of cocaine around the conference table the day someone came up with it.

  (#8) The Phantom Cruiser

  I'm seeing a kind of theme in the shapes, here, now that I'm at #8. The Phantom Cruiser does bear a remarkable resemblance to the Phoenix. And the Mach 5, really. All those smooth lines and pointy ends. I was also a fan of Space Ghost himself, despite the fact that he let those idiot teenagers hang on his cape. And there was a monkey. Why must there always be a monkey?!

  (#7) The Mach 5

  GO, GO, GO.... go-go Spee... yeah, you know the rest. How much did I want to own the Mach 5 when I was a kid. Admittedly, I was also dying to own that child-sized battery powered van in the Sears catalog. I promised my mom that I would totally drive to the store and pick up groceries for her! My brother and sister could ride in the back and we would stay on the bike path and... well, my mom wasn't convinced it was worth the $900 bucks, apparently. And those were 1975 dollars. But the Mach 5! It was a race car! And so sleek and fast and awesome! Too bad about Chim Chim, tho. Stupid comic relief.
