    On January 31, 2007, Cars.com named its top 10 most memorable TV cars.
    A 1982 Pontiac Trans Am named KITT from the show “Knight Rider” tops the list.
    The second-place vehicle was the General Lee, a souped-up 1969 Dodge Charger featured on “The Dukes of Hazzard.” The General Lee, had an orange paint job, a horn that played the first 12 notes of the song “Dixie,” a Confederate flag across its roof and the numbers “01″ on its welded-shut doors.
    Third place went to the mythical Mystery Machine, a multicolored van from the cartoon “Scooby-Doo.”
    Coming in fourth was the Ferrari 308 GTS from “Magnum, P.I.”
    Fifth on the list was the Batmobile, a modified 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car that was featured on the show “Batman.”
    Finishing the second half of the list was the 1975 Ford Gran Torino from “Starsky and Hutch;”
    The 1973 Chevrolet El Camino from “My Name is Earl;”
    The 1983 GMC G-Series from “The A-Team;”
    The Mach 5 from the animated show “Speed Racer;”
    And the 2005 Maserati Quattroporte seen on “Entourage.”

    I think the vintage truck from “The Beverly Hillbillies” should be on the list.
    Animated vehicles from cartoons shouldn’t be considered.

    The Batmobile, 1966 version, they are selling replicas now for $100,000. I need to win the lotto, George Barris just sold the one he had that was used in the Batman TV show, 4.2 million

    There is a good looking Ram Truck in the movie Twister. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117998/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 You got full insurance on that truck? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117998/quotes?qt=qt0468772

    Barris also made a limited number of fiberglass copies of the Batmobile. I friend in high school rode in one for a parade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmobile

    We saw the O.M. Wienermobile one summer in Salt Lake City.

    When my son was a two year old he fell asleep while we were watching Jurassic Park on VHS.
    The next morning he opened his eyes and said, “They drive green trucks in Jurassic Park.”

    The guy has been in love with trucks and cars ever since.
    In elementary school he knew which family owned each vehicle we saw in the campus parking lot.
    He makes me watch Top Gear whenever he visits.

    DeLorean from Back To The Future, only if it has a Mr. Fusion installed. Maybe George Jetson’s “car”.

    The DeLorean from “Back to the Future” apparently must be a favorite of our fellow citizens in this land of fruits and nuts, since they say they already saw the Super Bowl game that is set for this coming Sunday. Yes, we’re talking about at least a half-dozen of them telling Fox News on video about Beyonce’s lip-syncing during the halftime show and other particulars. I thought I would hang tough in this state, but these folks made me want to get a DeLorean myself to escape the lunacy gripping the Golden State.

    DeLorean cars are still available for purchase. There are both never owned and pre-owned vehicles to chose from. New cars can be built to order using parts warehoused in Texas. http://delorean.com/ They will refurbish your existing DeLorean to show room condition if you wish.

    Wait a minute. TV or silver screen? Silver screen would be a tie. Either the Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters (no, only I get to play with the siren) or just for giggles-the backfiring Uncle Buck-mobile. Wait a minute….I already own the latter. HAHAHAHA!
