I once put a Sparkomatic audio system in my car. Somebody stole my car; when I came out, the car was gone but the radio was still there.

So THAT's where I left that thing. Man, what a weekend that was! All I remember is a lot of tequila, a "dancer" named Kandi, and something about a circus monkey?

" It makes sense; they just don’t make cars like they used to." That makes me chuckle. I remember how we would all kick the tires on the new '80s cars and lament the same thing.

I wish you'd have included a list of the modifications by Lorinser. From what I can see, other than a set of MJ's butt dimples in the seats, it doesn't look much more special than any other (heavily) used Mercedes out there. $150,000 premium for Michael's glute prints?

Didn't you guys do a story about someone who made an aftermarket hidden-headlight conversion kit for the Healy "Frogeye" Sprite? Now those were some interesting headlights!

A 1929 Rolls Royce with a purple velvet interior, fuzzy steering wheel, and a 10,000 watt bass-boomer stereo shoved in the back. I only submit this because I actually saw one of these at a show. My gut still hurts a little when I think about it.

You know it's European, because all vintage American cars have a petrified french fry from the 1960s under one of the seats.

That Corey Cruiser does look like it would be fun to have. I wonder if any are still around?

I just can't figure out why anybody would want to pay that kind of money for a fantastic car then only put 500 miles on it. It's like being married to a supermodel and only shaking hands.

" Why are all the American production companies obsessed with brain-dead automotive-competition-battle shows?" I don't know, why do we keep getting those goofy -- and often somewhat horrifying -- "Chip Foose Draws a Car" videos from Hagerty? Answer one question, and you have the answer to the other.

I had a '94 Excel, and from my experience, the $150,000 price tag would be the dealer trying to recoup the cost of parts to keep it running.

I think you should go back for an update one more time. The placement of the last line in your story makes it read like you think the fatal failure and cause of Jessi's death was well deserved. It should read something more like, "A record well deserved, and a driver forever remembered".

I always loved the Reatta, still do. I still have their '88 sales brochure, with an "innovative" animated, ultra-futuristic demo on 5.25" diskette! I wanted one with the digital touch-screen dash so bad (still do!), but back then to me, $25,000 for such a tiny, impractical car (that's $25,000 in 1980s dollars, mind you) was just nuts. That's what killed the Reatta for me, and probably a lot of people.

I know every list is subjective, but I really have to disagree that Burton's Batmobile is (or ever was) the most cherished of all. If you say just "Batmobile" and nothing else, the vast majority of people will picture the Barris Futura, not the 1989 version. The Futura is the Lynda Carter of automobiles. Sure, lots of people know Gal Gadot and she's great, but when you're talking Wonder Woman, Lynda is the true timeless classic. And so is the 1966 Barris Batmobile.

A forgotten "so bad it's good" car movie is The Wraith. An '80s movie so '80s it should be taught in pop culture history classes. Charlie Sheen's film debut (so take that for what you will), but the real star is the Dodge prototype M4S Turbo Interceptor, apparently powered from beyond by a big jar full of lightning bolts and ectoplasm... though it was never explained why a revenge-mobile from another dimension had a Chrysler logo emblazoned across the hood.
