Boats do count. Any vehicle. I did consider the millenium falcon…but all the repair work they had to do in the empire strikes back made me reconsider. Kitt is a great suggestion and it made me mad that I didn’t think of that or of the bat mobile ---

Toss up between the Tardis (time, space and elbow room) and a White Star from the Babylon 5 universe - it’s pretty. 🙂 ---

I want a fully equipped Nimitz class nuclear carrier. Then I’l have it entirely automated so it can get along with a helmsman and an engineer, and of course several excellent chefs. It comes with an entire air wing, but I’ll get rid of most of the planes to make room for the world’s largest mobile dance floor and the only nuclear-powered sound system on the planet. I keep a couple of helicopters to shuttle people to and from the ship, and a dozen F-18s. One in case I have to get somewhere really fast, and the rest if I have to kick some pirate ass. It’ll be a babe magnet and I’ll have a guest bedroom for every babe. Because it’s nuclear powered the only times I’ll have to dock is … um, not in my lifetime. ---

Call my needs modest, but I always though that [The Cyclops](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bus#The_Bus) from the hugely underrated comedy film _ **The Big Bus** _\* would make an awesome RV!

TARDIS, for sure. Best camper ever! Failing that, does a Star Trek transporter count? Or how about any ship with a transporter on it. That’d work; I’d just need to find someone to stay on board and activate it for me on demand. Shouldn’t be too hard. If I can get my hands on a stash of Magic cards and an unlimited supply of replicated Doritos on board, I’ll have all the geek boys I need at my command… ---
