I have a dream and it isn't about the Batmobile; a green '70s-'80s Pontiac Firebird with black interior... a Phoenixmobile. I'd like to cruise around in that! I think others might have similar dreams. If you could have any model of car in the colors of your fave super-people, what would it be? Black and yellow X F-150s, Avengers quinjet inspired Corvettes, a big super S on a blue Jaguar?

Someone in Ballard (Seattle) might've had my dream car (but they let it go to seed a bit from the looks of these pics)...

And would they have the same measurements as Famke Janssen? If I come into some money I want to get the whole thing and a go buzz some comic convention (right after I give a chunk to the Shriners' Childrens Charity of course). I can dream can't I?

Here's a '79 with the Firebird graphic on the hood...

I'm a huge fan of the Range Rover (best car in the world, scientifically proven!). If I could have one with the Superman colours on, I'd be ecstatic.

Robbie, you've said that twice about the Range Rover. Where is the scientific proof? I'm not nay-saying, I'm genuinely interested in reading more about it. I did try to Google it to no avail.

Oh, Robert, this is where written communication falls down. I was jesting, my friend (but don't tell anyone). ;-)

I mean, Robert, you should have picked up on that. Everyone with an intellect knows the best car in the world was the Chevrolet Camaro (1982  model)...

Jaguar E-type + Batman = grey E-type with a black soft-top.

Now make it happen for me :)

Actually kind of boring colours... Just get me any E-type; I'm not picky.


(Yellow oval on the bonnet is optional!)

A 'Super Rover' could be nicknamed Krypto. :^)

They seem to use Range Rovers in every Yorkshire set tv series, but in the original '70s The Survivors it was a Volvo Station Wagon!

There should be a Wolverine themed vehicle of some kind, but yellow and black/blue, or brown and orange? Maybe some kind of dark shaggy fur seat-covers, or is that going too far?

Like a regulah New Yawkah I can't even drive though. :^( Well, actually I have informally, in really rural small town or off-road places, but unlike those deserted places they show in the car ads I'm too scared of other drivers or my own screwing up and causing an accident otherwise.

Those Jags are so cool! I've thought so since I saw one on a '60s Dave Clark Five LP we had around the house. I can see the Batsignal on the doors. Oh yeah, bonnets and boots, not hood and trunks. :^)

I'd park the E-type next to the actual Batmobile.

I remember the Spidey-buggy from somewhere. I think there was a toy of it for the doll (those Mego ones), if only I had ever bought any of those (and kept them mint in their boxes).

I think I'd like a black Trans Am, completely plain...

Until I hit the button that opens the hood element shaped like a bat, raises two pointy triangular radio antenna above the doors, activates the polarization on the windshield to turn it white, reflective, and squinty, and releases the cape attachment from the trunk...
