Too broad a subject. Space: Enterprise - D Water: the Chinese yacht in _The Man With the Golden Gun_ (On _this_ board, I am not going to say “I want Scaramanga’s junk.”) Land: Bond’s while Lotus from _The Spy Who Loved Me_. ---

The Flying Wombat from _The Young in Heart_ (1938). It was a modified 1938 Phantom Corsair. Clips available on YouTube – search “1938 Phantom Corsair the 1st Car of the Future!” ---

I’ll take the DeLorean from Back to the Future, as well. Specifically with the modifications that Doc Brown had made at the end of Part I (Mr. Fusion and the flying capability.) And I’d like to remind everyone that since BTTG was set in 2015, it should be available in showrooms within the next 18 months! ---

A Tardis would be the first, obvious choice, but that thing does seem to break down a lot, and need a lot of high-level maintenance. A galaxy-class starship would be cool, too, but that’s a lot of room for me, my husband, and our cat. Maybe something more in the Intrepid class, like Voyager. ---

No limits: The TARDIS, for sure. Limited to real-world vehicles: The Aston Martin Vantage from “The Living Daylights.” I’ve always loved that car… ---

Another vote for Super Star Destroyer. I’d be a major superpower and be able to explore the galaxy.
