I can build an ark just like Noah�s!� Theologians have struggled ever since with the Genesis flood�s meaning in terms of man�s relationship to God and vice versa, but some people, well, they�re all about the boat.
Here are the spiritual descendants of that guy�men who�ve decided that the important part of any story isn�t what the hero does, but what he drives. It�s the sort of thing that invariably starts with a childhood immersed in some aspect of popular culture that then metastasizes into an adult obsession. For Star Trek fans, this dementia results in the wearing of pointy ears at conventions and the memorizing of Shakespeare�s sonnets in Klingon. But even if the starship Enterprise were duplicable, it wouldn�t fit in most garages.
Hey, I don't wear pointy ears or speak Klingon! But I do build replicas of the Enterprise, both physical and virtual. I'm with them, though - I'm all about the boat, too.

Noah was an asshole.

The inherent problem with the Mad Max car is that it's CLEAN. I didn't recognise it with out a layer of dust and biker blood encrusted on the tyres.
And yes, I'm surprised a KITT wasn't there, that tends to be one of the more popular choices.

What about the Gadgetmobile?

I'd rather see the 1989 Batmobile than the TV version. Oh, and what about the Monkeemobile? Or Herbie? The A-Team van?

Getting a little off topic here, but one thing I'd love to see is the protagonists motorcycle from the old Full Throttle game. That bike was hot.
