80s Bond notably rocked a Lotus Esprit Turbo in For Your Eyes Only and an Aston Martin v8 Vantage in The Living Daylights. Both ridiculously gorgeous cars, no doubt the stuff gearheads’ dreams are made of, but let’s get real, it was the ramshackle Citroën 2CV that really stole the show.

9. The Twitter / pugmum1

A jet turbine engine, bulletproof armor, and voice command system (also, a CD recorder? If B.Wayne can’t wait to get back to the manor before dropping beats, his mixes must be *~legendary~*) made it practical as well as stylish. You try defending the city from the Joker with anything less.

8. What was Left of the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Car

YouTube

All right, so this Lebaron Town and Country is, ahem, somewhat niche. But you drive the wrong way down a highway, scrape between two tractor trailers, and catch on fire from a rogue cigarette butt and see how well you end up. “It’s not pretty to look at, but it’ll get you where you want to go.” And even better… YouTube

7. Any Car from the National Lampoon’s Vacation Series

YouTube

The Griswolds’ Family Truckster, a 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire — in Metallic Pea, of course — is all the car you need for trekking across the country and hauling Aunt Edna.

If you happen to favor something sportier, Christie Brinkley’s Ferrari 308 GTS is probably more your speed (though maybe not the “LUV ME” license plate? I mean we’re not here to judge, but….).

For what it’s worth, we’re saving up for Cousin Eddie’s RV from Christmas Vacation.

6. ’ Ecto-1

Twitter / CarDogsMovie

Arguably one of the most recognizable icons of the Ghostbusters series, Ecto-1 was a combination ambulance/hearse that just needed a little bit of work. A steal at $4800, huh Ray?

5. Mr. Frye’s car in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Twitter / NatTranLLC

The 1961 Ferrari GT California, the stuff of legends. “It is so choice,” quipped Ferris, and boy, was he ever right. I can’t be the only one who wept a little (OK, a lot) when [SPOILER ALERT, though if I’m spoiling something from 1986 you really need to reexamine your life] this beauty crashed through the window and fell into the ravine, right?

Let’s face it, we’re all these dudes.

4. The A-Team Van

Twitter / OffencePolice

Normally the A-Team’s 1983 GMC G-15 van would be the type of vehicle you caution kids to stay far, far away from.

Twitter / swhammerhead Though I dunno, he seems legit. YOLO, right? Never mind that this ragtag bunch of wrongly accused war criminals were actually acting on the side of the good. No, the real problem is the wrath that Mr. T’s B. A. Baracus unleashes if anyone dares even look at his precious van. Him pitying you will be the least of your worries.

3. ’s

Twitter / AnciraCJDSA

This 1969 Charger was almost perpetually airborne throughout its time on TV. To perform the Duke Boys’ death-defying stunts, it’s said that 320 General Lees were used: more than one per episode! How iconic is this vehicle? Well, it generated more fan mail than any of the cast members on The Dukes of Hazzard — and ’s, well, daisy dukes.

2. KITT from Twitter / Colin Payne

Knight Rider didn’t just make The Hoff a household name — and inspire tons of punchlines about how much Germans love him. It also famously introduced us to Knight Industries Three Thousand, or KITT. Voiced by , KITT was a crime-fighting 1982 Pontiac Trans Am with banter to spare.

1. The Time Machine

Twitter / PopMech

Of course, no list of iconic movie cars would be complete without Doc Brown’s time machine from Back to the Future. While reliability may not have been its strong suit— the DeLorean’s ability to get to 88 miles per hour in any sort of hurry was unpredictable at best — this was defi-nitely a case where the destination was more important that the journey. If that isn’t enough of a selling point for you, though, don’t forget that its spacious dashboard lends itself quite well to aftermarket customization. Twitter / Thomie_ch
