I'm fresh out of ideas for Friday Fun Threads here. I've done the Top Ten cars from all the major American car manufacturers (and some of the minor ones as well). I've done most European and Japanese cars, too. I've done famous cars, movie cars, animated cars; I've done hood ornaments, engines, and tail fins; I've done trucks, motorcycles, and even station wagons. I'm running out of ideas, and I need your help:
What's a Top Ten Automotive-based list you'd like to see?
That is all.

Compile a list of everyone that responds first car :)
1967 super-beetle dunebuggy that my Aunt gave me :)
Top ten road-side repairs without proper tools/parts.
Top ten cars you wouldn't be caught dead in.
Top ten cars we will never be able to afford.
Top ten concept cars that never saw the production line.
Top ten sleepers.
Top 10 sleepers? Top 10 gangster cars(classic 30's-50's not ghetto)? top 10 cars to take to the range, top 10 cars to pack as many cub/boy scouts and all their gear in?
First car was a '96 Taurus my grandmother gave me in April '08 with 75K miles on it when she got a new car.
top 10 customized / bastardized for no apparent good reason, or top 10 cars "customized" beyond redemption?
Top 10 car's you'd like to beat the piss out of with a sledge hammer, cover in thermite, then vaporize.
Apologies if that's already been covered.
How about a top-ten Foreign cars we wish we could get here.
#1 on my list is the Modern Aussie Ford Falcon. 4-door Mustang with a 5.4L V8! Why aren't these in America????
Top ten car crashes --- which are best for surviving or going up in flames.
I like the concept cars suggestion. I also like the first cars, though doing a top 10 there might be tough. Just to make y'all jealous... first car: 1968 Charger SE, 383 4bbl, 4spd, posi rear. Gawd I miss that car!
Top ten incongruous cars.
No, that's not a sedan that was driven into the Senate chambers. It means a car that is clearly trying to look like something it's not. For example, an old Honda Civic hatchback, which was approximately the size of a large rollerskate and had four scrawny hamsters under the hood, with a luggage rack on the roof. Or that old mid-70s Oldsmobile that had a tan fake-leather-looking roof and C-pillars, so that from a distance it looked like a convertible.
Top 10 movie chase scenes?

Can't forget the RC car chase in "Dead Pool."
And my first car was an 85 Olds Cutlass Ciera. Whoever thought giving a boy in high school an angry 6 cylinder with a huge back seat was a good idea, God bless you forever.
As for the list... "Top ten real-person cars to pick up a first date in."
Top 10 easily modified cars (lots of other years/aftermarket parts easy to swap and install).
Top 10 cars for survivalist whackjobs.
Top 10 cars that indicate the owner is compensating for something?
Uhhh ... runnin' out of ideas here.
Umm.
Top 10 cars you'd want to be in when it's time to mash the gas pedal to the floor and plow through a zombie horde?
3-wheelers.
How about top ten "civilian" armored vehicles? Like those suburbans that have the turret that pops out the top?
First car was a silver '84 Volvo. I was the cool kid in High School.
My first car was a 91 Ford Ranger 2x4 with an I-4 that put out all of 75 Hp. God that thing SUCKED on hills!

Top Ten that you cannot believe are still running? For this category, a current photograph must be appended.
The 10 best cars to run over a gamer fag who's into revolvers.
Pissed,
VW's first Super Beetle was the 1971 model year.
The '71 and '72 were the only two years of SBs to have the traditional flat dashboard and windshield.
From '73 onward, the SB had the foam formed dash and curved windshield.
Proud (former) owner of both '71 and '72 SBs.....('71 was my first car.)

Top ten cop cars
Top ten 4 wheel drive
Top ten econo cars
Thanks for the info Jim :)
I was 16 in 1978 and I was pretty sure the Dunebuggy was 1967...I put a Superbeetle motor in it. We got one from a junkyard and the neighbor helped me rebuild it. Thing went like hell....Then a loose washer jammed the oil pump and that was it :(....
Hmm... How about top ten "standard" modifications? Ex: VW Bug -> dune buggy; 32 Ford -> "deuce coupe" (a la American Graffiti), uh... err... I'm actually running out of examples here. OK, maybe that's not such a hot idea.
Top 10 silly VW addons? Like the Continental spare tire kits, the wind up keys, the RR hood & grill...
Top ten cars that should have NEVER hit the road (K-car, Pinto, Vega, Yugo, SmartCar) - y'know, just such sterling examples of half-witted incompetence in engineering that they should have NEVER been made.
Oh, and first car was a '66 Dodge Monaco wagon.
My first car was a 1953 Ford custom 2 door sedan. That car was one year older than me.
I got it in 1972 when I traded a color television set that I had refurbished. I gave them the TV, they gave me the car and $50.
Yep - I'm a geek and have been for a very long time.
My first car was a 1947 Plymouth business coupe.
