Poll question: What's your favorite car that starred in a movie/television series?
Edited on Sat Mar-13-04 11:52 AM by prolesunited
Feel free to back up your answer or add a car that I missed. Only 10 spaces, you know, and so many cool cars.

33. holy shit...someone else remembers Vanishing Point!
damn, that was one strange movie...it was strange...seriously....

.....whats up with the CHIPS all being women?


and then there was Supersoul.

This was a trip. And the two gay guys? Yeah, not a positive portrayal, but Kowalski was cool with them, so....

I think Stan Ridgeway riffed on this movie in his tune "Roadblock".

46. There is no contest. The coolest car is...
the "big green van" Cheech and Chong smuggled from Tijuana back into the United States in Up in Smoke.

It was a bread truck made, using special Mexican-developed polymer technology, entirely out of marijuana.

One of the funniest lines in all cinema was uttered by Tommy Chong in this very movie. While searching for pot and coming up short (even attempting to buy drugs from a police evidence locker), Chong pulls away from the curb in this vehicle, which was made from about two tons of pot, and says, "someone's gotta have a lot of dope in this town."
