The 80s gave us some amazing movie cars. Which one would you take out for a ride if you had the chance. It's the 1958 Plymouth Fury for me from the movie Christine.

Kitt himself was cool being able that he can conversations with you and do all these things that you tell him but Christine was just bad ass.

The 1980s indeed offered a treasure trove of iconic movie and TV cars, each with its own unique flair. The 1958 Plymouth Fury from "Christine" is a classic choice, embodying a menacing presence that only a Stephen King story could conjure. Its sleek design and supernatural abilities made it unforgettable.

On the other hand, KITT, the 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from "Knight Rider," brought futuristic technology to the forefront, with its artificial intelligence and array of gadgets. KITT's ability to talk, turbo boost, and drive autonomously captured the imagination of many and symbolized the cutting-edge tech dreams of the era.

Both cars are emblematic of the 80s' love for blending style with a touch of the extraordinary, whether through horror or high-tech heroism. Each one offers a unique ride through the nostalgia of the decade!
 
The Back to the Future car. What was it called? Volarian?
 
Um hello… the pink Cadillac from License to Drive. Not because it was sleek or futuristic. Because it was pure 80s chaos and I loved it. That whole joyride vibe. It screamed teenage rebellion and bad decisions and I was here for it.
 
The Ecto 1. Objectively iconic. It’s a 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor converted ambulance turned paranormal response vehicle. Sirens, roof rack equipment, custom paint. It wasn’t just a prop, it was engineered to be memorable. You see the silhouette once and you instantly know what it is. That’s design success. In case you are all wondering what exactly I am talking about it's the vehicle from the Ghostbusters.

Hahaha that was a cool looking station wagon. Good choice and very original pick.
 
KITT. No debate for me. I used to sit there watching Knight Rider thinking that car was smarter than half the people on the show. The red scanner light going back and forth was everything. It wasn’t just a car. It had personality.
 
I think it's safe to admit that the 80s a lot great looking cars in movies and tv. There's also the Dodge Charger from the Dukes of Hazards. I think it was a 76? Also the black van from The A-team was cool too.
