Poll question: Which would be the coolest Star Wars vehicle/transport to own?
(Terrestrial based... nothing that can leave the atmosphere)


If you could cruise out of the dealership lot today on one of these (new or used), which one would you want to own?



AT-AT



Tribubble Bongo Sub



Pod Racer



AT-ST Walker


Sand Crawler



Speeder Bike



Sith Speeder



X-34 Land Speeder

1. Sand Crawler, with a 30-foot yellow "I support our troops" ribbon sticker!

2. Assuming fuel was no issue, it's a no brainer - the AT-AT!

The Sandcrawler would be close, but it doesn't have lasers and shit.

The AT-AT would be perfect. Get some Cadillac SUV asshole behind you honking because you're going at a walk on the highway? Fuckin' blow him to shit!! And the SUV next to him? Just fuckin' step on 'em. Over and over and over, while blasting the shit out of every hummer, jacked up pickup, and SUV you can see. For miles.

And imagine how easy taking your driver's license test would be.

"Okay, so far so good. Now it's time to show me how you parallel park."

"Oh, that's NO fuckin' problem whatsoever. Here...."

4. The Sith speeder is cool...you can lay back
and chill while going really really fast.

The Dark Side has all the cool toys!

5. Safety first!
You need to wear one of those "beer helmets" while you're chilling and crusing though.



Painted black of course; maybe with a couple of "I The Dark Side" emblazoned beer coozies.

7. Speeder Bike
It's environmentally sound and fun to ride! I'd race past everyone gridlocked on the highway flippin' the bird!

8. A V-Wing airspeeder.
It can't leave atmosphere, but it's friggin' blinding fast and it's got cluster missiles--perfect for those yellow Hummers with "W '04" stickers on them.

9. Definitely the AT-ST (Scout Walker)
It may not be as fast as a speeder, but it can easily seat two people, and it has plenty of room for luggage, camping gear, a cooler full of soda and beer, souveneirs from Vegas, sleeping bags, an ice cream freezer, and even geology tools. Plus, it's got enough firepower to clear the highway and piss off Diane Feinstein at the same time.

In short, the AT-ST is the Camry of Star Wars vehicles. I would so go for one!!

10. I'd like a speeder bike, but ...
... for the sake of my research lab, I guess I'd have to opt for the tribubble sub. We could check out the undersea volcanic vents off Vancouver Island, without having to make bookings for the Scripps submersible ... and there'd be plenty of room for the grad students and post-docs.
