All cars are not created equal, just ask the Dodge Neon. So, if I had a seven-car garage to fill it up with unparalleled automobile awesomeness, here’s what you would find inside.

Speed Racer’s racecar. It sports buttons marked A through H allowing it to do everything from break the sound barrier to go underwater to firing homing robots. Did I mention that it’s also a convertible?

The Green Hornet’s car is a nearly indestructible custom set of wheels made special by his sidekick Kato. It sports multiple gun mounts, Stinger missiles, wheel spikes, ejector seats, and even a record player, just to name a few of the amenities.

An alien entity from the planet Cybertron, who, when on earth, manifests into the form of a Volkswagon Beetle or a Chevy Camaro, depending, of course, on which version of Transformers you’re watching. How can you wrong with a car that can turn into a giant robot and double as your best friend all at the same time? Besides, Bumblebee helped Shia Labeouf bag Megan Fox. Maybe this should be #1 after all…

Over the last half century James Bond has driven nearly every single top shelf automobile on Earth, but that’s not all. His versions are always outfitted by M16’s car guy, named only Q, with an elaborate high-tech array of missiles, rockets, guns, lasers, water jets, super engines, grappling hooks, etc. You name it, James Bond has probably had an expensive one in his car.

Everyone loves this car. All she needs is 1.21 gigawatts of electricity and a speed of 88 mph and not only can this baby fly, but she can also travel through time to save Mary McFly’s mom, or life, or the Doc, depending on which movie your watching. But wait, ou haven’t even heard the best part yet. It has suicide doors!

The Ghostbuster’s signature ghost catching vessel of 80’s nostalgic awesomeness. From the sirens, to the custom lights, to whatever all that crap on top does, car don’t get much cooler than this. Also, once throw in a proton pack and factor in its rumored interdimensional travel ability, it’s a steal at the $4800 Ray payed for it in Ghostbusters. Now, as Dr. Venkman says, “Come on! Let’s run some red lights!”

Batman’s Gotham City transportation. Every incarnation has topped the one before it, and all of those have topped every other car ever made in history. The baddest of the bad however, would have to be the Lucius Fox engineered Tumbler, from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This puppy is so tough it even looks like a tank while it pancakes cop cars on the evening news. Batman can remote drive it from anywhere, and with intimidate and loiter settings he can make criminals mess their pants from blocks away. It even has a self-destruct feature and a pop-out Batcycle called the Bat-pod that allows Batman to eject from the vehicle if the need arises. James Gordon said it best, “I gotta get me one of those.”
After a list like this it’s kind of hard to get excited about this year’s latest model of…well any car really, isn’t it?
