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

        DeLorean. Then go back to 1985 and pretend none of this shit ever happened.

          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.

                      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.

                          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.
