I know, I know. We didn't see room in the ten-car list for TWO Simpsons cars; if this had been a bracket, the Canyonero and Homer would surely have been first round competitors.

Speed Buggy almost made it, but his inability adhere to our strict "say it, don't spray it" policy took him out of the running.

The first two seasons of BTAS was one of the best cartoons I've seen in a long time. My #1 fave has to be the original (mid '60s) Jonny Quest.

Initial D??? What the hell is that?! I've never even heard of such a cartoon. I can't believe that made it and Speed Buggy didn't. You know his feeling are hurt.
How many times can you rebuild a complex automotive component before you have two of them?

You have to give credit to Initial D. It made the value of 80's Toyota Corolla GTSs skyrocket.
| Quote, originally posted by Turbiodiesel! » | | While the young Fiesta gains strength, the Focus must protect it from the F-150 Raptors that stalk the water holes. Fiestas are able to drive from birth, but are weak and slow, and until they are three months old they are vulnerable to predators. Soon, though, they will join their parents to follow the coming of the rains. /morganfreemanvoice |

Ah, but Pops had too much integrity to work for a corporation, remember? He went solo so that he could build racing cars the way they should be built. Which is why rivals were trying to steal the Mach 5's plans, secretly etched into the car's extra windshield.... X100 regarding Speed Buggy, he was my first lunch box

The plasma/maglev jet race cars from "The Running Man" are still my all-time favs. Hell, they race on a track that's PERPENDICULAR to the ground.

Not that I think it deserves a place on the list, but if you are talking anime cars, then I feel like mentioning the Roadbuster.scroll down a little Brings back memories.

Hmmm, much like the GP driver bracket, Motive is trying to be too cute with words at the price of content.

Giving credit where it's due, it's awesome that you chose the Gadgetmobile. However, I think the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' van really deserved a spot!

I never really got into Transformers as a cartoon because of how badly drawn they were. Just look at Bumblebee! I mean can YOU tell from this pic he was supposed to be a Beetle?

I would have gone ape**** if there wasn't a Transformer on that list. While Optimus Prime may have been a bit more iconic, Bumblebee is a pretty good choice to. I love these feel-good threads. I wish we had more of them on here.......

With all due respect to the Flintstone's vehicle. the Rubble's 'log car' was a far more advanced and streamlined design.
