If you could have any vehicle from a movie/tv show, which would it be? I think I wouldn’t mind racing around on one of the speeder bikes from Return of the Jedi, or flying around in an X Wing or Tie Fighter. I’d hate to fly a B Wing Fighter though. But, then again, being in control of The Enterprise or an Imperial Star Destroyer would be great too. Of course I could see myself having a lot of fun in 007’s car as well. I’d love to hear what others would want to use before making my final selection. Thanks! ---

A TARDIS. Go anywhere in space and time, plus it’s bigger on the inside than the outside; I can just move in. ---

I like the idea of KITT from the Knight Rider series. A car that can drive itself and one that I can have witty conversations with. ---

Perhaps the B-36 Jimmy Stewart flew in (I think)“Strategic Air Command” or, even better, one of the Lancasters from “The Dambusters”. Just to crank up those four Merlins once in a while… aahh, that sound. ---

Of course, considereing that William Daniels did the voice I’m not surprised.😃 But yes, KITT would probably be my choice as well. ---

The car from The Last Starfighter. It could be driven on the road, convert to a fly car, and best of all become a space car and travel faster than light. ---

Klingon Bird of Prey, assuming I had an autopilot function that could perfect Spock’s time travel calculations. I’d have the last of the V-8 Interceptors on board for road travel. ---

A Super Star Destroyer. It’ll have to be manned. And I imagine that my appearance above Earth would be a fairly massive news story. Then I’d meet other world leaders and join the UN as a new nation. I’d invite applicants to immigrate and then we’d explore the Solar System! After that we’d vote on what to do next. People can elect a leader if they want but I’d still be in charge. ---

> [@Mrs.Cake](#): > > Has to be the _Heart of Gold_ from HHGTTG. Well, yeah. But assuming we’re restricted to real vehicles, I’d take the convertible Shelby from the remake of _The Thomas Crown Affair_. It was originally built for Arnie to use in _Last Action Hero_ but couldn’t be used for some of the stunts. ---
