    I guess they never saw American Graffiti. Or maybe their marketing gurus don't think hot rodders fit their customer demographic.

    What is the most famous car in a movie?

    Bullitt - 1968 Mustang GT fastback
    Herbie - VW Beetle
    Batman – Batmobile
    The Blues Brothers - 1974 Dodge Monaco police cruiser
    Goldfinger - Aston Martin DB5

    Looks like they raided the kid's DVDs for most of those picks.

    Doesn't it make sense that they would pick cars from kids movies, since toy cars are for the kids? They only make those so when you go to buy a waterpump and have your kid with you, they see it and you might end up buying a toy also.

    Oh yea, she was cute before she became a ****.

    Anyway, yea, that's not much of a linup. Bullitt has to be the coolest of thier list though.

    Don't bag on them ****s. I've got a special place in my heart (OK, maybe a little further south) for ****s. Remember, boys: the only difference between a **** and a ***** is a **** goes with EVERYONE. A ***** goes with everyone BUT YOU......
