The BTTF Delorean is definately up there.

Does Iron Man’s armor count as vehicle?

What about a Bantha?

As far as speeder bikes go, I think Anakin’s Swoop is far cooler than the imperial models.

The forklift-Mech from _Aliens_ is pretty sweet…

Non-transformable, sadly.

A hover-bike version of the Cyclone would be cool. Cut down on the parts needed to make 'er fly, too…

Michael Jackson’s MOONWALKER movie ( also starring Joe Pesci and Sean Lennon Ono). In one scene, Jacko transforms himself into this rolling wedge of a car which I believe is only about 30 inches high.

A swoop bike.

Jet skates.

A hoverboard[sup]TM[/sup].

A T-16 Skyhopper.

A landspeeder.

A pod-racer.

Oooh, thought of another fun and highly impractical vehicle to own:

The Banzai Institue’s Jet Car, complete with oscillation overthruster.
