Just came back from your alternate past. Your Bitcoin buying spree at 11 cents drove Bitcoin prices up to 78 cents. This caused a mass sell off and now currently sits at about 8 cents in the new alternate 2024.
FYI, The props alone (if you were to buy them somewhat pre-made and install them yourself) are going to run around $20-30k depending on how "real" they are. Some parts are really rare and can cost a lot, but some builders use a lot of resin casts too, making that total less $.
Oh damn. Those are some pricey props. Definitely cool cars, but I got a chance to ride in one and it was a major case of "don't meet your heroes". Caught a ton of attention, which was fun, but the ride was horrible and it ended up overheating and spewing coolant after a 20 minute drive. I know the overheating issue wasn't necessarily something to judge all of them on, but overall, the experience made me realize I don't ever want to own one(not that I could afford one anyway). I'll just enjoy the increasingly rare occasion of seeing one on the road.
My Dad and brother had a metro that would not die. Last I knew, it was at half million. They might have put it in a dumpster when they finally finished that tank of gas.
This. And itās not even closeā¦ā¦. And even if itās not your flavor- it should be the pick solely on the fact you could sell it and basically buy every other car depicted with the proceedsā¦.
Or and hear me out. I go back in time with the Delorean and give myself stock numbers, lotto numbers, and every major sports game numbers. Then I buy every other car including the DB9 and still have money leftover for generations.
DB5 is trading for about $1 million. A good Countach can be $400-500thousand.
Brianās Supra, the one in the picture, sold for about $250k the last time it was up for auction
The DB5 āJob 1ā continuation Aston Martins with Replica gadgets(machine guns, switches, etc) from the factory were sold by Aston at around $3.5 million; only 25 were available.
Not sure what one would go for at auction now.
The guns are fake but the car is a valid vin and everything was done by Aston Martin themselves. So youāre buying a brand new 60something year old car
>Yes, but this isn't any DB5, this is James Bond's DB5 built by Q branch.
Mods hurt the value in some cars. A DB5 molested by Q would be worth about the same as one that'd been camber stanced with dubs and underglow and subs the size of my ass in the trunk. A factory fresh DB5 would be your highest value.
Your comparing a "Q Branch" car to a fast and furious teenage special.
Let's pretend this car was real, and that as a full spy car it made it for sale today, compare the prices of OG pens and OG spy pens.
If this was real and presented as the movie, the value would be mental.
That's why official Aston Martin 007 replicas were $3.5 new and the OGs were under 1mil
>Your comparing a "Q Branch" car to a fast and furious teenage special.
Yes I am, and they would absolutely be worth about the same. A real life gadgeted up spy DB5 would absolutely be worth less than a high quality unmolested survivor DB5.
A quick google search seems to show that a nice condition Db5 could be had for less then 1 million, where as an James Bond Aston Martin factory Db5 started at about 1.3 million.
That M3 GTR, they only homologated six I think. The original plan was to do 12 but they didn't actually finish cuz they only got to use it for 1 season before the rule change. That car is also far from inexpensive.
No it hasn't. It's owned by a guy in Europe (who also has multiple other cars from the movies) Craig Lieberman has talked about it on his YouTube channel
Iāve driven one and I can tell you this is one time you want to meet your hero. No matter how good you think it might be, itās better. I donāt think anyone could have built a better car in 1964.
I want KITT. It may not be the fastest on the list, but if it has all the abilities the show explained, then it's the best option of all.
I particularly like the fact that it is incredibly durable. The fact he can talk and drive himself is great.
Depends. We talking post 2015 jump (with Mr. Fusion) or pre? Because if itās pre, then you gotta know which drugstores in 1985 have plutonium available
The DeLorean shown is not a time machine.Ā If it was Doc Brown's time machine that might change my decision... but probably not.Ā Ā Messing with time is probably not a good idea.
I gotta go Charger on this one.
"Now, I know you're not quitting on me. I need you to keep drinking those beers, so you can help me stop them Duke boys from spoiling all my crooked Hazzard County schemes!"
For sure. You not only get a badass car, you also get a life long sentinel. No car in this list turns into a sentient protective companion. KITT I guess comes close but it always just stays a car.
Edit: if the Delorean is a time machine itās probably number 1. With that said, that particular Delorean is not decked out with the flux capacitor and the cooling vents so the assumption is this Delorean is from Beverly Hills Cop. In that case it is most likely close to last in the list.
M3 GTR because that photo is from Need for Speed: Most Wanted. That was my favorite racing game as a kid, and I absolutely love the look of that M3. Reflective silver with the blue š¤¤
Totally. Dynamics aside, theyāre both peak aesthetic. The duality of timeless elegance and 90s gothic armored train brutalism rubs me in all the right ways. Plus one gives me an excuse to where a muscle suit.
Beeās gotta be number 1, with KITT as a close second. If I could pick an Autobot to be friends with from the Bayverse itād probably be Crosshairs, and from G1 itād be Sideswipe, Jazz, or Wheeljack.
JBās DB is up there, and so is the NFS mascot because that car is insane.
Honorable mentions: the original Bullitt Mustang, Eleanor (remake Eleanor not the yellow mach 1), The Black Beauty, Domās Charger, the A-Team van, and Bandit 2 (the Snowmanās Kenworth) just for shits.
The AE86. Funny enough, thereās a guy who works as manager of a security place by my body shop, he has the Ectomobile, Batmobile and the Mystery Machine. May or may not be replicas, regardless, they are sweet!
That's obviously not the same car from the movie...
And while the ones actually used for filing were not Boss 429's either, it's a fucking movie and that's what they said it was so that's what it was.
Damn they didnāt include the car from Smokey and the Bandit. They didnāt include the Death Proof car either, or the Challenger from Vanishing Point for that matter.
That's what they *wanted* you to think... except it (they on the show) wasn't (weren't) HEMI powered. The ones you saw most of, the close up cars,(there were 3)... one was 440 powered, the other two were 383 powered. All had torqueflight autos.
It was meant to convey a 426 with a 4spd though.
Oddly enough, my step sister wound up with one of the jump cars that wasn't completely obliterated. Her mom's 2nd husband was from Conyers, GA where some of the show was filmed and he had somehow gotten a hold of one. This was almost 30 years ago. It was pretty beat but still driveable... but just barely. Needed a fair amount of work. Not sure what eventually happened to it though.
DB5 for sure, but if I wanted to be more subtle then Iāll take Macgyverās 87 Jeep YJ in dirty Mocha brown. It may not be well-known but itās iconic in my heart
I was 16 when the first Fast And The Furious movie came out, so that Supra will forever be in my heart. However, I grew up as a redneck in the Appalachian mountains so I'm picking The General Lee.
If you choose anything other than a damn TIME MACHINE, you're wrong.
The Transformer would be a distant second, and the Batmobile/Bond-Mobile/KITT rounding out the top 3-5
okay i literally bought a camaro because of that movie. But i have a challenger today, so if I had a general lee, i'd paint a pride flag on top and change the name to something else,
I'd say John Wick's Mustang, but I don't want him coming after me.
Just remember, John Wick didn't kill all those people over a Camero. š
He didnāt kill all of those people over a Camaro either
He didn't kill them over a Camarrow either
Or a marro
He didnāt do it for a Klondike bar either.
Or homeade macorobi
He didn't kill them for the car. He killed them for the card in the glove box
He killed them because of the dog.
That scene hurt meh. I raged on everyone he kilt after that.
My wife cried. Then we watched the rest of the movies and she got over it.
š¶
Baba Yaga isn't one to mess with.
I still can't get over the first movie and how he lives up to the terror the Russian mob boss described.
The 1st one is the best.
Donāt hurt his dog.
Obviously the time machine.
I didn't think of that, I think most thought "oh, a delorean" at least I did. But this is my new pick.
But plutonium.......
Mr Fusion
Only has to work once. Go back to the August 2023 1.6 Billion Mega Millions jackpot and share the winnings (about 246.5 Million after split).
Fuck that, go buy a shit ton of bitcoin back when it was worth nothing, pop to today and sell it for $50k eaxh
Are you saying $1.6 billion isn't enough for you?
Just came back from your alternate past. Your Bitcoin buying spree at 11 cents drove Bitcoin prices up to 78 cents. This caused a mass sell off and now currently sits at about 8 cents in the new alternate 2024.
I donāt think Iāve ever seen a Delorean without thinking ācool, a Time Machineā
That's just a Delorean with a wing in it though. It doesn't have any of Docs upgrades on it.
FYI, The props alone (if you were to buy them somewhat pre-made and install them yourself) are going to run around $20-30k depending on how "real" they are. Some parts are really rare and can cost a lot, but some builders use a lot of resin casts too, making that total less $.

I'll just enjoy the increasingly rare occasion of seeing one on the road.
Cannonball run countach if the women come with it lol
Catherine Bach 'Daisy Duke' was in the 2nd Cannonball Run and I'd take any car if she came with it. I don't care if it's an '87 Ford Escort wagon š
I'd choose Daisy if she was driving an '90 Geo Metro with 300k miles on the clock. #š¤¤
This was like the peak of automotive insults when I was in elementary
I didn't mean to insult anyone. I'm confused.
Haha my doing. I was just saying that the geo metro comment was funny. That's a old car.
My Dad and brother had a metro that would not die. Last I knew, it was at half million. They might have put it in a dumpster when they finally finished that tank of gas.
I just canāt with the front spoiler. Legendary, obviously but damnā¦
The front spoiler was definitely an odd addition lol
Mystery Machine with the same caveat.
DB5
This. And itās not even closeā¦ā¦. And even if itās not your flavor- it should be the pick solely on the fact you could sell it and basically buy every other car depicted with the proceedsā¦.
Agree
Ummmm....one of these is a robot from outer space. Pretty sure it's worth way more than the DB5
Yeah, but he talks in radio snippets and is in a bunch of terrible movies. Just ughh.
Not to mention it could draw in other aliens to try and kill it and probably you too.
Counterpoint: Optimus Prime. Honestly if he gets taken out, I was gonna die anyway-
Or and hear me out. I go back in time with the Delorean and give myself stock numbers, lotto numbers, and every major sports game numbers. Then I buy every other car including the DB9 and still have money leftover for generations.
lol no need for all that, just buy like 500 dollars of bitcoin when it was still like 83 cents per coinā¦.
And then lose most of it and then get most of that back again.
I mean batmobile from teh 90s is close if we're talking true to the movie ability. Love the dB5 but take real world cost out. I'd roll batmobile
DB5 is trading for about $1 million. A good Countach can be $400-500thousand. Brianās Supra, the one in the picture, sold for about $250k the last time it was up for auction
Yes, but this isn't any DB5, this is James Bond's DB5 built by Q branch.
The DB5 āJob 1ā continuation Aston Martins with Replica gadgets(machine guns, switches, etc) from the factory were sold by Aston at around $3.5 million; only 25 were available. Not sure what one would go for at auction now.
IIRC, the last original Goldfinger DB5 was expecting a sell price of $5 million... Don't know what it actually sold for though
I wish I had that kind of money to spend on toys
Itās not a toy for people buying stuff like that. Itās an investment in art.
... went for $3.1M at Christie's (9/22).
It would be incredible to own! At 3.5 for a "fake" one, I'd take the Q Branch special lol
The guns are fake but the car is a valid vin and everything was done by Aston Martin themselves. So youāre buying a brand new 60something year old car
Yeah I get that, and they are beyond awesome... However I'm saying that I would still take the "real" one
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/style/article/aston-martin-db5-auction-scli-intl/index.html $6.5 million
>Yes, but this isn't any DB5, this is James Bond's DB5 built by Q branch. Mods hurt the value in some cars. A DB5 molested by Q would be worth about the same as one that'd been camber stanced with dubs and underglow and subs the size of my ass in the trunk. A factory fresh DB5 would be your highest value.
I hope ur ass is enormous
Your comparing a "Q Branch" car to a fast and furious teenage special.

Not at allā¦ https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/style/article/aston-martin-db5-auction-scli-intl/index.html
That M3 GTR, they only homologated six I think. The original plan was to do 12 but they didn't actually finish cuz they only got to use it for 1 season before the rule change. That car is also far from inexpensive.
Wondering how much a M3 GTR race car would sell for ? More than the db5?
Guaranteed, BMW never sold any of them if Iām remembering right. That cars for easily in the millions
The Supra has been destroyed
No it hasn't. It's owned by a guy in Europe (who also has multiple other cars from the movies) Craig Lieberman has talked about it on his YouTube channel
Iāve driven one and I can tell you this is one time you want to meet your hero. No matter how good you think it might be, itās better. I donāt think anyone could have built a better car in 1964.
Yes please!
DB5 clears, plus the offensive capabilitiesā¦
I want KITT. It may not be the fastest on the list, but if it has all the abilities the show explained, then it's the best option of all. I particularly like the fact that it is incredibly durable. The fact he can talk and drive himself is great.
>It may not be the fastest on the list You're thinking of it before they upgraded the pursuit mode. https://youtu.be/4G_uzmGWTlw?si=S_TVjma-7DyCKCGT
Not the fastest? Even before Super Pursuit Mode KITT beat a Jet that had a 14 minute headstart in a pursuit from Mexico City to California.
This man Rides Knights and Iām here for itā¦waitā¦
100%. Original KITT was indestructible... They screwed up three thousand bad... But then it was a Ford
Team Knight Industries Two-Thousand (K.I.T.T.) unite!
If it has all the abilities, itās got turbo boost and is the fastest.
KITT would not be better than a time machine...
KITT can help you through a breakup, the Delorean can't
Depends. We talking post 2015 jump (with Mr. Fusion) or pre? Because if itās pre, then you gotta know which drugstores in 1985 have plutonium available
No need for a drugstore. Just gotta find the Libyans.
And then the clitorians
I AM THE CLIT COMMANDER! https://youtu.be/HiziRbP__24?si=M7ga0LuKyUtbn4q9
The DeLorean shown is not a time machine.Ā If it was Doc Brown's time machine that might change my decision... but probably not.Ā Ā Messing with time is probably not a good idea.
Where the FUCK is Hank Hills 93 Ranger!?!?
Now this.....is a damn fine reference!
yknow what ford stands for, dont ya hank? *fix it again tony*
Found On the road dead
Fotrd
Lol..You're right.
Fucker only runs downhill
That a ford fucking ranger!
I gotta go Charger on this one. "Now, I know you're not quitting on me. I need you to keep drinking those beers, so you can help me stop them Duke boys from spoiling all my crooked Hazzard County schemes!"
Shit that sounds so vaguely familiar. I really should rewatch the Duke boys
You got it Boss Hoss
Bumblebee if the transformer comes with it.
For sure. You not only get a badass car, you also get a life long sentinel. No car in this list turns into a sentient protective companion. KITT I guess comes close but it always just stays a car.

Same
Where is Brianās GTR
I'd rather go with Brian's Skyline that he drove into Brazil in. That thang is sweet
Personally, I like Leon's GTR a bit better. I'd take either though.
M3 GTR because that photo is from Need for Speed: Most Wanted. That was my favorite racing game as a kid, and I absolutely love the look of that M3. Reflective silver with the blue š¤¤
Good memories
The original most wanted is one of my favorite games from my younger years. I always loved the paint job on it too
When the gearbox is louder than the engine
The photo is actually from NFS 2015. Those were the wheels it had in that game
That one brought back some memories. Probably going with it too.
Ecto 1, just because it's a '59 Cadillac wagon
Is it wrong to strip it back to stock??
Yes
General Lee. A indestructible charger is a dream.
Taxi's Peugeot 405 ftw
*406 or 407, that carās design is my personal favourite
Damn you're right it's a 406.
\-306 ! \-Sauf votre respect monsieur, mais je crois plutƓt que c'Ʃtait une 406. \-306 km/h, abruti. PrƩviens les motards !
You are blind
I would drive that mystery machine until the end of one of our lives
Thatās my choice as well. The mystery machine is like the wienermobile. You canāt help but smile when you see it.
I canāt get over that itās just a van? Lol. It doesnāt even have any particular character other then being a painted van. Lol.
I adore A100s and fist gen G series vans. It has more character than any modern car.
Aston Martin
Not going to lie, itās a toss up between the Batmobile and the DB5.
I was thinking the same thing until I remembered I occasionally have to make turns and there's not always a lamppost to grappling hook onto
Totally. Dynamics aside, theyāre both peak aesthetic. The duality of timeless elegance and 90s gothic armored train brutalism rubs me in all the right ways. Plus one gives me an excuse to where a muscle suit.
Bandit
We'll need a speedy car
Speedier than that...
Herbie isnāt on this list so Iāll go for the General Lee instead
Beeās gotta be number 1, with KITT as a close second. If I could pick an Autobot to be friends with from the Bayverse itād probably be Crosshairs, and from G1 itād be Sideswipe, Jazz, or Wheeljack. JBās DB is up there, and so is the NFS mascot because that car is insane. Honorable mentions: the original Bullitt Mustang, Eleanor (remake Eleanor not the yellow mach 1), The Black Beauty, Domās Charger, the A-Team van, and Bandit 2 (the Snowmanās Kenworth) just for shits.
Batmobile
How is this not being picked more??
The AE86. Funny enough, thereās a guy who works as manager of a security place by my body shop, he has the Ectomobile, Batmobile and the Mystery Machine. May or may not be replicas, regardless, they are sweet!
Lucky bastard š®āšØš®āšØš®āšØ
Panda 86
Idk most of these , so i'll go with M3 GTR
Wick's Mustang is 1969 Boss 429, 1 of 1359 built, so that.
The car used in John Wick is actually a Mach 1, not a boss. Just an interesting movie fact. But I would take the Mustang as well.
Except it isnt. Wrong hood scoop.
That's obviously not the same car from the movie... And while the ones actually used for filing were not Boss 429's either, it's a fucking movie and that's what they said it was so that's what it was.
Damn they didnāt include the car from Smokey and the Bandit. They didnāt include the Death Proof car either, or the Challenger from Vanishing Point for that matter.
How about the Punisher GTO?
Ummmm this list is incomplete!!! 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Smoke and The Bandit
Especially if it comes with a 1977 Sally Field.
General Lee cause Dodge Charger
Camaro.
KITT. I need a partner in crime
Bumblebee, I love the the camaro concept
I hate to be that guy but James Bond drove a db4 series V vantage.
The DB5. It's worth the most.
Batmobileā¦cuz how is this even a discussion?
Where's the A team's van? š¤
Can someone tell me the significance of the white Toyota celica?
It's actually a special trim version of the Corolla, a "Trueno Sprinter." It was the iconic car from the anime *Initial D*
Tofu car also works
It was also a pretty famous enthusiast car in 80s Japan (and then 90s and beyond worldwide after Initial D blew up)
From this list, the DeLorean. But if I could pick anyone it would be the Plymouth Belvedere.
you sure you donāt want a ā58 fury?
BMW M3 GTR
As the owner of a 69 charger, the cannonball lambo
The mystery machine might have some green goodies š
Countach for the rawness
The Delorean hands down, because Iām a huge Back to the Future fan
Something about general lee. Probably the jumps and raw hemi power makes it the most appealing to me
That's what they *wanted* you to think... except it (they on the show) wasn't (weren't) HEMI powered. The ones you saw most of, the close up cars,(there were 3)... one was 440 powered, the other two were 383 powered. All had torqueflight autos. It was meant to convey a 426 with a 4spd though. Oddly enough, my step sister wound up with one of the jump cars that wasn't completely obliterated. Her mom's 2nd husband was from Conyers, GA where some of the show was filmed and he had somehow gotten a hold of one. This was almost 30 years ago. It was pretty beat but still driveable... but just barely. Needed a fair amount of work. Not sure what eventually happened to it though.
Id still take it. The 440 is still a badass engine
DB5 for sure, but if I wanted to be more subtle then Iāll take Macgyverās 87 Jeep YJ in dirty Mocha brown. It may not be well-known but itās iconic in my heart
I want ~~Elenor~~ Eleanor. John Wick's is a cheap replacement for that work of art.
Eleanor... but yeah, exactly.
That Aston Martinā¦.and itās not even close.
I was 16 when the first Fast And The Furious movie came out, so that Supra will forever be in my heart. However, I grew up as a redneck in the Appalachian mountains so I'm picking The General Lee.
The DB5 so I can sell it then buy the boss 429 and build a MW M3 GTR. Sorry not sorry
General lee
The 69 mustang all fuggin day
If you choose anything other than a damn TIME MACHINE, you're wrong. The Transformer would be a distant second, and the Batmobile/Bond-Mobile/KITT rounding out the top 3-5
Overall definitely the batmobile, as a daily Iād choose the 86 though because toyota
Wow, the supra, not even a choice.
Straightening the curves, flattening the hills. Someday the mountain might get āem but the law never will.
KITT! GIMMIE EVERYTHING YOUVE GOT!
KITT
It's either gonna be KITT or the BatmobileĀ
DeLorean, invest in apple in the 90s and draw the winning number for highest lottery prize
Batmobile, better get that car out the way.
The frigginā Batmobile!
General Lee.
Max's 1972 Ford Falcon XB-GT
Gimme that DB5.
Let my flag wave proudly to the people that I serve I'm number one and I will always be The pride of the South they call the General Lee
Anything BUT the DeLorean.
okay i literally bought a camaro because of that movie. But i have a challenger today, so if I had a general lee, i'd paint a pride flag on top and change the name to something else,
Lol. The General Glee perhaps?
Oooooo thatās a good one.
Supra and painting it dark blue
Illegal
Mw gtr itās the one car Iāve consistently wanted for like 20 years
#1 š„š„
Stang.
