Not one mention of the various Bond cars as yet?
That does surprise me.
In this age of rising sea levels what's not to like about a lotus submarine!
Or ejectors, or machine guns.


Also until this thread I'd never even heard of "fall guy".

I think we are sticking to TV cars not venturing into movies. If movies are included this is my vote. Van life for the apocolypse.

"Ecto1"
"Doc's Delorian"
are in the list in the 1st post. ;)

EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle would also be a contender if movies are in.
or the ArkII for tv if the monstrosity sized vehicle is your thing.

*edit* actually..... that battle wagon thing out of Aliens (the nuke it from orbit one) was awesome... other than it's trans axle.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
Someone's guest from 1980's CT Family Reunions in the Movie 'Slapshot'. Since I was only 7, I don't know outside VFW exactly who's guest but - that's Mr. Paul Newman
Random fact: my first serious girlfriend’s dad was one of the Producers of slap shot. He made buckets of money off that film…we lived in their house in Brentwood during the OJ insanity. It was my exposure to LA, industry types, mad money, actors, etc…it was strange. But the riding up Kenter was epic, I helped build a bunch of jumps there in like 92’.
You can touch me.

Oooo Lotus submarine car. Not that I neeeeed a submarine on a daily driver basis. Living at 2300m there will need to be a lot of ice caps melting before I need a boat.

Your lack of Fall Guy in your youth is disturbing. You should go hire Jackie Chiles and sue your government, tv broadcasters and your parents.

relatively certain 84 was the only year those were built.

Edit: Eh.. A quick look at wikipedia suggests 84 and 85 had 22re with solid front, 86 being the first year of IFS
My '86 was a DX with 22R carbureted.

I had an 86, 93 SR5 extra, 88 4Runner, 92, and an 85 was my last one.
