I was flipping through the channels last night and came across TV Land's Top Ten TV Cars. It got me to thinking about what are the most badass vehicles ever put on the small screen.

The Dukes of Hazzard - The General Lee


An oragne paint job, doors that don't open, and a Rebel Flag on the roof (and no one gave a damn about it back then, either) made this '69 Dodge Charger a classic. Though the Replacement Dukes season proved that the car wasn't the only thing on the show that people wanted to see, it was the backbone for the formula of high speed chases and outrageous stunts. I don't know anyone who would have enjoyed a show where the General didn't vault over a dry creek bed or pig farm. It was like jumping was the car's secret weapon that no one could escape from. Yeeeeeee-hawwwwwwww!

Airwolf - Airwolf


A helicopter with machine guns, rocket launches, AND can do Mach 1! Sign me up. This copter could do just about damned near anything. Kept secret in a hollowed out mountain in the desert, Ernest Borgnine and Jan-Michael Vincent pulled this bad boy out when the Geraldo Rivera in an eyepatch guy came around with his crazy shit.

While all the other five-year-olds were growing up on Sesame Street, I had a steady diet of Airwolf, Knight Rider reruns, and MacGyver.

And you all wonder why I'm so screwed up.


go.

The Munsters - The Munster Koach and Dragula


No vehicle more represented the personalities of its owners than these two did. One's a hot rod/herse hybrid. The other is literally a coffin on wheels. The details on these two, especially the Koach, make them far above any other vehicle to roll on four tires. Cobwebbed laterns for headlights, a huge fuckin' engine, and the finest coffin liner fabric on your seats make you the badass at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. This car kicks so much undead ass that it makes me wanna smile.

Knight Rider - the Knight Industries Two-Thousand(K.I.T.T.)


I can't think of a single person who tuned into this show for David Hasselhoff's acting. It was all about the '82 Trans Am that talked and shot lasers. It's a fact that K.I.T.T. was the brains AND brawn of the bunch. He always had to tell Michael what to do, how to do it, and save the jackasses ass while taking a barrage of gunfire. Michael Knight got as much tail as he did because he was ridin' in a car that could drive itself and leap over a busy intersection. I stop at when they added that goofy ass extra speed thingy (the car already did 200mph for gob's sake) that made it stretch out and look like crap. That was totally gay.

Especially since he built damned near everything on this list. Also, anyone else can add their own choices for a badass vehicles since I'm choseing mine based on my own viewing pleasures.

Doctor Who - the Tardis

Didn't see this one coming, didja? And it should have been so obvious. This bad boy not only travels through space, but time as well. Also, even though it's only the size of a telephone booth on the outside, it's as big as a palace on the inside. Wrap your noggin' around that one. It's been cross dimensions, tossed of the side of mountains, shot at, and gone through just about every nasty thing you can think of. It may not work the way the Doctor wants it to all the time, but that's because it has a mind of its own, literally.

Star Trek Franchise - the Enterprise




This space ships are the shiznits. Fucking transporters, torpedoes, the works. What really makes these ships kick ass is the fact that all of them can take a hell of a beatin' and keep on keepin' on. Each one has been through some hellatious shit only to keep on flying out there in deep space. Full ass kickin' ahead. Warp factor five!

Hey Doc, you made a great pick with the Enterprise, but you left out its most badass incarnation, the Enterprise-E from First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis. If you're gonna acknowledge the existence of that malodorous prequel series, at least let us have the E as a consolation prize.

I LOVE your list, though. Fantastic choices.

My favorite Enterprise will always be the one Kirk blew up. I can't beleive how pathetic the ST people were back then when they introduced the Enterprise-A as the same ship that was blown up. Couldn't they have made it look a little different? My second favorite is Enterprise-E.

Then we should probably include the mostest kick assest TV vehicles EVER...



Talk about kick ass! Not only were they vehicles, they were vehicles with HUGE FUCKIN' GUNS! Not only that, but they TRANSFORMED to HUGE FUCKING ROBOTS...WITH GUNS! You see, the planet Cybertron is running low on energy. The heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, set out in space to search for more energy but are attacked by the Evil Decepticons led by Megatron. Both races crash on Earth and lie in suspended animation for--yadda yadda yadda--THEY WERE HUGE FUCKING ROBOTS WITH GUNS, MOTHER FUCKER!

I'm sorry I had to completely dessimate everyone else's choices for kick ass vehicles (except maybe for KITT) but...you know...
