Now, THAT is a fine (fictional) ride

[Starter Set]

There are of course a lot of great bikes, cars, trucks, planes or boats in all those fictional universes we love so much to immerse ourselves into like the sad fantasy junkies we are.

But what is YOUR beauty, YOUR mechanical love, the ONE you would even drop-kick a blind man in a wheelchair for just a chance to get your beautiful ass on?

My choice you ask? Kaneda's bike. (Akira)



Yours? You can pick whatever crazy, sci-fi stuff you want but it has to be a machine.

Nothing fictional: the reality has overtaken the fantasy so many times that I can't choose anything fictional; some example: Lancia Stratos Zero, Tucker Torpedo, Brabham BT46, Bimota Tesi H2, Ripsaw EV3-F1…

They can make some pretty sweet piece of machinery nowadays true enough. But yet, there isn't the emotional attachment.

I would trade any of those modern real life beauties without a second thought for a ride in the 66 Batmobile.

I was about to add that the Stratos was used in the movie Moonwalker



P.S. The Batmobile of 1966 derives from the Lincon Futura; even if the Batmobile is better.

Ahh, what an improbable design lol.

Makes me wonder what people back then though of it, futuristic? Cool? Atrocious?

They were crazy for them, in fact the Lincoln was used in a successful movie (It started with a kiss) and the Lancia used the name Stratos for a race car that later was used to crate an Autobot.

ooooh, nice choice. Didn't think of the Ghost Rider but yeah, whatever he uses tend to look mighty cool.

Loved The Bug since first I laid eyes on it in an old Charlton back issue.
