Random Best & Worst Cartoon Vehicles (13 items)

  (#3) Hellcycle

  Ghost Rider is the poster child of "Cool Idea, S**tty Comic". This is a prime example of something surviving exclusively on the coolness of it's premise. A guy with a flaming skull riding a souped up motorcycle from hell. Also, did I mention the FLAMING SKULL? And leather jacket. Imagine if it were denim. With patches. Not really the same. This comic has some of the most historically dull, silly and stupid storylines of all comics... and yet, they made a movie out of it all the same. Again. Flaming skull.

  And the Hellcycle. God knows, I want one.

  (#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.

  (#2) The Mystery Machine

  • Fictional Character

  You have to hand it to anyone who would not only paint their van themselves, but call it an actual Mystery Machine. Which brings up the question, did these guys get paid for their services? Why advertise like that if you aren't going to charge the poor Bed & Breakfast lady for getting rid of that crotchety (yet, surprisingly inventive and committed) old caretaker who really, really wanted her real estate? They drove around (nice color choices, but sadly, no half-naked space chicks with guitars) in their aqua-red-green van visiting a vast assortment of vacation spots (where did they get the money for all these vacations?) and aunts, uncles and cousins... I'm not sure who, exactly, they were advertising TO. In any event, the Mystery Machine was pretty cool, even if it was just a dressy serial killer van (I mean, no windows? And what was up with everyone sitting in the front seat all the time?).

  (#6) The Phoenix

  This makes the list sheerly out of fondness for Battle of the Planets (or, G-Force, as I think it was also called). I really, really loved that show when was a kid. Probably had something to do with the big eyes and the bird costumes. Just sayin'. But it was an awesome, sleek plane and it turned into a fiery phoneix for some reason that I no longer recall. Perhaps to drive fear into the hearts of their enemies? Maybe I just like things that are on fire.

  (#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.

  (#10) Spider-Mobile

  You know who needs a dune buggy?

  Spiderman.
