A question for the ages. You have enough money to buy one of three cars do you spend the money on: A) The General Lee B) Bandit's Trans Am C) Mad Max's Ford Falcon XB
Bandit's TA, for it was built for high speed over long range. The General Lee was built as a ridge runner, and therefore not so great over distance.
^There's got to be so many miles on that thing, I'd imagine the whole powertrain was shot. Actually, now that I think about it, all three of them would've been in bad shape after their respective glory days.
Of those three, Bandit's Trans Am. In Demi's fantasy make-believe world, the car from Spy Hunter. With the Peter Gunn theme playing on constant loop in the CD player.
Thinking of the Peter Gunn theme, I might go for the Bluesmobile. Oh, and where's Number 6's Lotus from The Prisoner? That should be in the list, too.
Trans Am. It ain't go no fuckin rebel flag on it, for one thing. Ooo! The Lotus! Your right, spider. Or Starsky's red tomatah.
Another vote for Bandit's Trans Am.... Though Magnum P.I.'s ride would be nice, too, but it's not on the list.
Of the choices, Bandit's T/A, no doubt. Open it up to other car movies, and I'm taking Kowalski's 1970 Challenger R/T 440 Magnum from Vanishing Point.
PI's have the best cars, from Rockford on down. Of course, it's hard to beat Magnum's Ferrari. But if I had my druthers, I might go with Rick Simon's Power Wagon. Damn near a force of nature.
Gotta go with the Bandit. Now if only it came with its own frog accessory (with built in mute button of course)
I had to drive a couple of different Ram Chargers as news units in the early 90s and hated those vehicles. I was when I got a full-sized Bronco the last year I worked there.
