    One of these is a frigging Time Machine, and the others are just muscle cars with the exception of Kitt and the Ghostbusters vehicle. How is this even a question?

      I'd take the 308 GTS that Magnum drove, if I had to live in that era. And I'd let all you guys look at it, cause I'm just such a nice guy, and I'd take all the ladies for a ride, cause I'm just such a . . .

            If one ignores the claimed time-travel aspects of the DeLorean, you're basically left with an aluminium shit-box designed by a crook.

            I'd take the A-team pedo-mobile, and park it near schools whilst smoking an enormous cigar and grinning inanely.

            Obviously, I'm lying. I'd take the Aston Martin and park it near schools.

            I was only joking

              Aston Martin, assuming the Delorean can’t time travel. Otherwise duh.

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                Right? And even if it’s just a DeLorean, then the Aston Martin is the easy pick. The Ferrari’s are worth roughly $100K each while the Aston Martin would be somewhere around $400K… And that’s without adding collector value.

                  The Aston Martin, of course. In another thread @Doctor-Phibes said something about the Brits being sophisticated. Though, in general, he's wrong about that (ducking), in this case it's all about the style.

                  And, the DeLorean was a crappy car, if I recall. Underpowered, unreliable. The only "cool" things about it were the gull-wing doors and stainless steel...and perhaps time travel.

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Keep in mind, you are stealing the car

                    The owner matters, you don’t want a detective or secret agent chasing you

                      Aston Martin

                      Not even a fair competition

                      So much class is such a nice package

                        That's totally fine. He wouldn't have a car, and I doubt that he could outrun mine.

                          I believe you would find that a very good condition DB5 would be much more than $400. In fact I would wager that it could fetch over a million. Not that many of them around any more and there were not a lot built when they were in production in the 1960s.
