Since the Blue Thunder - Airkitty debate isn't heated enough, I felt we needed yet another comparison thread on 80s TV show machinery. The General gets my vote with the Fall Guy truck a close 2nd. KITT was terrible.

No Streethawk?
No Highwayman Truck?
No A-Team Van?
This poll fails the 80s.

I wanted to keep it simple. There are way too many to include. I pondered the A-team van over the Fall Guy GMC, but vans are associated with Pedophiles, therefore it didn't make the list. Streethawk only had 13 episodes and an XR500 that does 300 mph? Please.
Fall guy truck. Didn't see too many lifted GMC's back in the day. Are you sure that's the truck in the picture? I seem to remember a little door on the side that opened into the bed, but maybe I was halucinating back then.

Even though I am a Pontiac guy there is no way the pussyfied TA holds a candle to the GL. Besides, it is no contest when ya turn out the lights. :)
In ARFCOM fashion, get both.

Wel I was going to go KITT... but then you included a young Daisy Duke ...........
My mind was made up there . LOL
I was going to throw a vote for the General Lee and when you threw in Daisy Duke it was a no-brainer.

The general hands down! Even if you had not thrown in Daisy. The Fall Guy GMC a real close second, and the A-Team van right on it's heels. What about Rick Simon's Power Wagon from Simon and Simon?

Now see whats funny is earlier this year we were headed to Mosport for a race, and in Illinois? I think- we were closing on this van I kept thinking- wow, that looks just like the A-Team van. And when we rolled past it it effin was the A-Team van, down to the red stripe, spoiler and license plate that said- A-Team. I guess BA retired, because it was a white guy driving it. One of my guys got some cellphone shots of it and posted to faceyspace, because thats how awesome we are.
And this isnt even a contest. KITT was cool, but not as cool as the General. The GMC was ok, but without Lee Majors its just another redneck rodeo machine. The General is a big ole bucketful of win, and to toss Daisy in is just adding to the perfection.

The General because it would come with The Daisy. Otherwise, give me the GMC. Am I a total redneck (even moreso than I already am, at least in the eyes of the wife) if I have the Fall Guy theme song on my ipod?
The Coyote 1 from Hardcastle and McCormick?

ehhhhh, although it looked kinda cool it was just a re-bodied VW. Magnum PI's Ferrari on the other hand was awesome! I still want a 308 gts.

But then you have to grow the stache..... wear hawaiian shirts and carry a 1911....
all of which I'm ok with .... well maybe not the stache .. LOL

Magnum was the reason I grew a mustache when I was 18.
Catherine Bach was the primary reason I now wear glasses.

The stache is awesome! hawaiian shirts on the other hand I could do without. The 1911 is an obvious win.
I would have voted for.......

Was always a big fan of Kitt, but having to dress like the Hoff shatters any chance of that. Then there is the General Lee, Daisy was a nice touch, which easily sealed that deal. Though I do think it would be interesting to have your life narrated by Waylon Jennings.
Fall guy truck. Goes anywhere. No need for Kitt I have a wife and kids so don't need anything else that talks back... and the general lee well I had enough troublt with tickets last time I had a muscle car.
