The last few weeks have really made the League members work for their wages, so this week’s challenge is a bit of a softball. Some League members may have already answered this week’s post in the previous assignment where we chose a piece of Hollywood movie memorabilia, but this time around, I am handicapping everyone by taking the Batmobile, in all its incarnations, off the table.
This week’s league topic:
—-
Besides the Batmobile, what is the sweetest ride cruising the streets of pop culture?
—-
That awesome illustration above is by League member, Reis O’Brien, and if you are looking for some inspiration for this week’s topic, check out Reis’ series of VROOOM! illustrations.
Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.
By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!
(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)
First, you honor me, sir. Thank you for giving a shout out to my VROOOM! series!
Second, OH COME ON! Not only did I go crazy on the Hollywood memorabilia assignment and already choose no less than 5 TV and movie vehicles, but now I’ve gotta narrow it down to just one? AND NO BATMOBILE?! GAH!
Holy beef enchiladas…. this is going to be tough.
Hey Reis, thank YOU for letting me use that image. I saw you mention there might be a VROOOM! book in the works??? Just let me know when the book tour comes to DC and I’ll be first in line.
I’m approaching this week’s topic as “what Hollywood car would I want to ride around town.” This one’s easy for me, and I don’t think you’ve drawn it yet!
There’s definitely going to be an art show with all 100 cars, and a print offered online, but the book is a big maybe. I’m working on it.
And just because I haven’t posted it yet, doesn’t mean I haven’t drawn it!
If I do mine, I feel like I’ll be repeating myself. And it’s probably pretty obvious if you’ve read my blog for longer than 15 mins.
I’m going to try to think of a different way to answer this.
Hmmm, does it begin with a “D,” and end with an “N,” and have “ELOREA” in the middle?
You know me too well, Brian.
Work’s piling up this week, so I knocked this one out early. I’ll be honest, I picked three, and none of them were cars, but I’d proudly “drive” any of them through the streets of Atlanta…

That was fast! Great picks! (-2 points for going airborne).
I give Shawn +2 for going airborne.
Notice how I act like I have the authority to give/take points away in your house, Brian?
Ha! Since the points are arbitrarily assigned, I am fine with anyone giving them out arbitrarily.
The Condor! Great pick. I just picked up one of those at the flea market over the weekend, because it was my favorite back in the day.
How dare you hanicapp my pick, kind sir
Seems as if Paxton Holley already snagged option #2. So, to be diffrent, I will pick another car. I already have 3 in mind
Mine’s written. It’s going up on Wednesday or Thursday.
I might have to do this one Brian it would fit in well with my “Wheeled Wednesday” am currently running over on the Ark. : )
“Wheeled Wednesday!” I like the sound of that . Certainly a fitting topic for you this week.
Check it out, Boys & Girls:

Aww man, Fong, you won’t mind if I hop on a freight car and show up on your doorstep one day, right? How big is your couch?
There’s plenty of room. Come on over!
I’m back, I missed some great ones so I tried to make up for it:

Wow, I haven’t thought of Condorman in ages. I need to check Netflix for that one.
Yeah-yuhhhhh! http://www.leftylimbo.com/2012/05/sweet-ride/
No-nooooooo! You swiped my pick before I got it written. -2 pts for LeftyLimbo!

Action Figure Chat Thanks all!
Nice pick! I think mine is going to be closely related to one of your runners-up.
I Have added one more addition to my Runners up LOL
an Awesome motor if i do say myself.
Oh wow, now that is certainly a head turner. I didn’t even think to delve into video games–that could be another whole topic. Good one!
An excellent choice–would have easily made my top 5.
Thanks Guys, i’ll be looking out for your posts
Here’s mine!

The nice thing about your pick is that when you’re not driving it, you can just put it back up on the shelf.
Yup. And repair it with Lego Technics parts.
Here we go, this one was tough! http://www.lifewithfandom.com/2012/05/league-sweetest-pop-culture-ride.html
I’m picking one from close to home:
