Cars are always special to men. The old adage “
Clothes make the man” would sound perfect in today’s world when we rewrite it as “
Forget the clothes – cars make the man“.
Cars show the world the type of person you are. The car, as such, can
be many things at once. Apart from a vehicle that transports you from
one place to another, it is also a status symbol. The way you manage a
car gives others an insight of your true personality. It is true when
you say that cars bring the men closer.
The kind of car one drives gives a great impression of the person
itself. In fact, some nice looking cars or those with more engine power
are always looked upon as status symbols. It is definitely hard to
ignore the impression that a car could give to a man or woman!
In the history of entertainment and art, cars have always
played an important role in shaping the power of the main character. In
movies or animated series, cars are always cool to give more importance
to the lead role. Most of theese cars are specially designed to give us
the “wow” factor. They are unique and they can do so many things that
you would only dream of a car to do. That exactly makes these cars
closer to one’s heart. Every man would definitely want to own one of
these if there was an option!
Let’s check out the 15 coolest fictional cars that every man has dreamt of owning one day!
15. Doc Brown’s DeLorean
If you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, do it with some style.
This was the rationale of Doc Brown when he built his time machine in
Back to the Future,
and the world will forever be grateful for that vanguard decision. Even
the most drab, broken down car in the world would be pretty awesome if
it were converted into a time machine, and Doc Brown probably knew that.
The fact he ignored it and went for style anyway tells you everything
you need to know about the mad/genius scientist, and what it is about
him that makes Marty McFly stick around to witness his crazy schemes.
Once that DeLorean flew by the camera, generations of viewers wished
they were there with him, too.
14. The Gadgetmobile
The main selling point of most of these fictional cars is the
adaptability and secret capabilities they have, so of course a man named
after his love of gadgets would have a car filled with them. The
vehicle driven by Inspector Gadget is a simply Toyota Supra on the
outside, but it’s endless transformative ability proves it’s actually so
much more. It has two main forms, one being a van and one being a
police car, so you can use it for vigilante efforts or the shadiest
stuff you can think of; the Gadgetmobile is literally for everyone.
13. The Car Built For Homer
Homer Simpson is a unique man, and as such he created an intensely
unique car, but as it would turn out, plenty of guys would love to drive
Homer’s car. The domes make it perfect for ignoring your passengers,
which should have given Homer’s car an immediate second life as a taxi.
It has extra-large cup holders, like most cars these days, but beat the
trend by nearly two decades. The shag carpeting is a bonus, and we’ll
probably only ever find use for one of the three horns, but we’ll still
be blaring it at least once a day to let everyone know we’re coming. And
who doesn’t love La Cucaracha?
12. Ecto-1
A few of the cars on the list are here because of what driving them
represents. In the case of the Ecto-1, driving it represents the fact
you are a Ghostbuster, and plenty of guys would do anything just to
achieve that. It might look a little clunky, but after the repairs by
Ray, it’s in tip-top shape and ready to take down ghosts all over New
York City. It’s true this is a particular line of work, and not all men
may have the constitution for it, but riding around in this baby you’ll
no doubt find yourself thinking, “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!”
11. The Mystery Machine
Unlike some of the other cars on this list, there’s nothing too special about
the Mystery Machine. It doesn’t have any special features, and it’s just
a big green van these young adults use to solve mysteries. They’re some
pretty cool young adults, though, and guys probably wouldn’t mind a
chance to solve those mysteries with them. More adventurous men might
take this opportunity to hit on Daphne or Velma, but we’ll be honest—we
just want to hang out with Shaggy and the dog, and try some Scooby
Snacks. It looks like they make you really giggly.
10. The Convert-A-Car
Wacky Races was a cartoon from the late 1960s about the most
daredevil group of daffy drivers to ever whirl their wheels in the wacky
races. Each episode the racers competed for the title of the wackiest
racer, using extremely creative and ridiculous cars to connive their way
to victory. There were heroes and villains on the show, but all
characters treated the races like a joke, cheating egregiously through
use of their brilliant cars. Guys probably wouldn’t mind being a
passenger in Penelope Pitstop’s Compact Pussycat #5 (did we mention this
was a kid’s show?), but when it comes to actually getting behind the
wheel we pick Professor Pat Pending’s Convert-A-Car. The Convert-A-Car
is infinitely adaptable at the Professor’s whim, and it would be a blast
to drive it in a wacky race or just about any setting.
9. The Ninja Turtle Party Wagon
Out of context, the Turtle Party Wagon might sound like a weird
door-to-door pet store, but cartoon fans out there know it’s the main
street vehicle of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The wagon has a
variety of weapons and add-ons to it that make it more of a
crime-fighting machine than a regular van, but that’s not even the main
selling point. What guy wouldn’t want to hang out with April and the
turtles, just chilling and eating some pizza? We’ll even let Leonardo
drive.
8. Canyonero
Most of the cars on this list are impractical in the real world due to
special features, but the Canyonero is simply a high quality, sensible
vehicle. Sure, the theme song tells us it has four-wheel drive, smells like steak, and seats 35, but only that last one is
really
impractical. There’s also the fact the car weighs an alleged 65 tons,
is 12 yards long, and “2 lanes wide,” which might make the Canyonero a
little bit difficult to park, if nothing else. Still, Krusty the Clown
did such a good job of selling us on the car in his famous series of
adverts, we’re willing to give it a test drive. Just don’t slip up and
buy the “F-series” like Homer did—apparently, that’s a woman’s car.
7. The Mach 5
The Mach 5 is the prized possession of Speed Racer. It’s a sleek,
coke-bottle style car meant only for, obviously, speed racing, so we
probably wouldn’t be bringing any friends along on this test drive. It
would still be fun to try out the many special features the car has, and
try to figure out how the car’s seven simple buttons are apparently
able to do so much. Some guys might prefer a chance to ride The Shooting
Star, but we’ll give the proper respect to Racer X and hope he just
follows us around and protects us like he does for Speed Racer.
6. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang looks old, clunky, and broken down, making it
arguably the ugliest car on this list. However, there’s something
undeniably awesome about any car that can sprout wings and fly. Chitty
is also amphibious, with the ability to turn into a huge floatation
device and become a boat with just a few buttons, as well. Guys might
not have a lot of patience for singing the silly songs or watching the
children’s movie the car came from, but the car itself is definitely
cool enough we’d like to get in the driver’s seat.
5. Absolutely Any Car Owned By James Bond
Practically every single thing James Bond does is unattainably cool.
Guys would do whatever they could to emulate him in every single way,
and that extends tenfold to driving the kind of cars he gets his hands
on. Although the Aston Martin from Goldfinger is probably the most
stylish and therefore the most enviable, Bond has also driven his share
of Audis, Alfa Romeos, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, and countless other
designer cars. Whether our version has the cool Bond gadgets courtesy of
Q or not, we just want to get behind the wheels of some of the fanciest
cars ever made. The fact one of the coolest guys of all time was a
previous owner is just a bonus.
4. Fred Flintstone’s Car
Fred Flintstone’s car, and by extension any car that might have
been driven in Bedrock, isn’t something we’d want to drive every day.
The fact you have to accelerate the thing with your own foot power
defeats the entire purpose of a car in modern society. It would still be
pretty fun to try out, though, and most guys could probably have a lot
of fun using one of these things recreationally. Modern technology would
also probably create some kind of footwear that won’t cause broken legs
every time we go down a hill, so the downsides are pretty minimal. We
might not ride Fred’s car to work, but we’d love to use it when racing
our friends.
3. Sweet Tooth’s Ice Cream Truck
The world of Twisted Metal is probably one guys want to avoid outside of
their TV screens, but that doesn’t mean the cars wouldn’t be fun to try
out in a more appropriate context. We promise we aren’t talking about
going on any kind of a killing spree, but a demolition derby with an ice
cream truck could be a fun way to spend a weekend. There’s something
pretty cool about the menacing clown head above the truck, too, that
would stop any kids from mistaking this for a normal ice cream truck and
ruining the fun.
2. K.I.T.T.
We’re quite frankly thankful they don’t admit it publicly, but we
wouldn’t be surprised to hear there are guys out there who talk to their
cars. Plenty of guys have been known to name them, so why not give them
personalities and characters, too? The idea is pretty appealing, and
maybe we’re just not creative enough, because there’s no denying we
would love to get behind the wheel of K.I.T.T. The crowning achievement
of Knight Industries, K.I.T.T. is the talking car of Michael Knight.
K.I.T.T. had a few other special features, too, including being able to
drive himself and navigate through dangerous road conditions with his
own “eyes,” but really it’s just the fact it talks that makes it one of
the coolest cars in history. Just for the record, we’ll take the William
Daniels model, please.
1. The Batmobile
Maybe not every guy out there wants to drive every car on this list.
We admit every man out there doesn’t share identical tastes, but come
on—this is the Batmobile. Do we even need to explain it? Public interest
in the Caped Crusader waxes and wanes based on the most recent movies
made about him, but one thing that never changes about Batman is the
fact he drives the coolest car ever made. The Batmobile has gone through
many shapes and forms, just like any of Batman’s bat-vehicles and
bat-gadgets, but the general look never changes too dramatically, and
that’s all we need to get behind the wheel.
