Besides the Batmobile, what is the sweetest ride cruising the streets of pop culture?
—-
These are not in any particular order. To be honest these are just a few of the things that jumped into my head when I read the question for this week. I have always been a fan of many different vehicles from cartoons and movies, but I'm not the traditional "Car" kind of guy.
I'm honestly not sure I can choose a single "sweet ride" but I suppose if I had to pick a way to get to work in the morning the ride I would choose would be:
BESSIE

The Doctor had another car during his time on earth. This time one that he built. It was called the Whomobile. It was more than just a car though. It was a plane , and could even act as a hover craft. The interesting thing about this car is that Jon Pertwee, the actor who played The Doctor actually built this car. It was his!
Some others that stand out to me!
Of course I can not talk about pop culture rides without talking about battle cat. I have said it before, there is just something about barbarians riding on giant cat's or dogs or what ever. I have always loved fiction with odd beasts to ride, and this is one of the things that attracted me to the franchise as a kid. I loved the idea of battle cat. Now I could take or leave the talking, but I loved the idea of riding on a giant cat!
The Ghost Buggy: This is no ecto-1. This is the sentient car/plane/boat/anything that Filmation's Ghostbusters drove around in to fight the likes of Prime Evil and his minions. This vehicle doesn't get thought of very often, but for me it is a very important part of my childhood. I loved the filmation ghost busters, and I loved Ghost Buggy!

So these are really breaking the rules but I had to include them.

I have always been intrigued by the rocket ships in the Flash Gordon universe. There is just something cool about an actual rocket ship. In many different types of media. Flash Gordon is just usually what I think of. the designs were simple and elegant. They did what they were supposed to do get from point a to point b. .. even if that was on a string!

ReplyDeleteIt just makes sense!
DeleteThe Ghost Buggy was a great choice Ashley and one i hadn't thought about.
ReplyDeleteYeah I love the Ghost buggy and all of the filmation ghost busters stuff
DeleteLet's go, ghostbusters! haha. Wonderful set of vehicles. I remember being obsessed with the movie and then unwrapping Tracy the Gorilla and Scared Stiff for christmas and thinking, "wow, I don't remember Peter and Ray fighting a skeleton... there is so much to ghostbusters I don't know about!" Little did I know...
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr. R, I love the filmation stuff, but there are so many people that just never got it :)
