This radio station was named Kowalski, in honour of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when’s he gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.
The first car I saw in a movie that made me totally freak out was the Lamborghini Diablo in Dumb & Dumber.
The second car I saw in a movie that had the same effect was the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 in Bad Boys.
I never watched much TV, but I liked the Viper Defender from the TV series…Viper. LOL

This one may be a stretch… but I don’t really watch movies, so it’s all I have off-hand.
The Martian Rover.
Reason why might be a spoiler… so… [spoiler]It’s the only thing in the movie that didn’t break… and I like reliable vehicles.[/spoiler]

Going to break the trend here of nice sporty cars.
The Beast. Uncle Buck’s 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham, complete with blown rear shocks and massive oil leak.

No idea how it hasn’t been mentioned yet (besides it being so bloody obvious) but a love of crap cars and this being one of my favourite films means I’ve always said, if I ever won the lottery this would be the first thing I’d buy.

Some other more obvious things you’d expect from me like the Initial D AE86 etc, but if I had to pick one TV car that really cemented itself in my head, for me it would absolutely be this:
I was already growing up as a Toyota mentalist, and this was on when I was 11. In pretty much any product, be it cars, computers or otherwise, nothing is more important to me or gains my respect more than durability and dependability, and I defy anyone to say they thought it would drive away from that tower block demolition. I remember sitting shouting “Come oooon!” at the TV at the same time as James May when it started to fire up.
The picture above is one I took a couple of months back after I finally got to see it up close, and my god it is so much worse than it looks on TV when you see it in the metal. It really does look like it could just collapse into a heap at any minute, but no, it’s still standing, rustier than ever, and I’m assured is still able to work. It certainly still has all the added switches in after it was set on fire to start it, complete with attached piece of paper telling you which one does the glow plugs etc.
Those two episodes with this on pretty much got me stuck on Toyotas entirely. To this day it is still the one thing responsible for my complete trust in anything that says Toyota on it.
God I loved that chase scene when I was a kid, I still love the fact they made a limited run Jackie Chan edition Evo for a couple of versions in his honour.

What! How come I don’t know this! Did they have OTT 80s Style Digital displays and an ejector seat?

I’m surprised that this hasn’t been updated in a while, anyway here’s another TV car that I just remembered.

A sign somebody is a Canadian.
Not Canadian but I do live North, South, and West of Canada simultaneously.
That show definitely should be a bigger thing everywhere. It’s awesome.
