The car is a beautiful slice of Americana, its gargantuan size and stunning form will leave you dribbling in its wake. It's red and white colour scheme will leave you thanking Dante for his seven circles of hell, and its interior styling will enable you to live your life in a 1950's radio. All good so far... Then it dawns on you that Steve King wrote this car you are driving into the world, and it starts to become worrying. First of all this car is just evil, it plays 1950's rock n roll at all times to communicate with you, and it kills people who hurt your feelings. Actually, in that respect it's not a bad car though in the end it kills you too. I actually read the book before I saw the film, and if it's possible the car is far more frightening when you can only imagine it snarling at everything. The human emotions that are attached to this piece of metal is the very thing that gives this car the number one spot. People the world over strongly believe that their car takes on a personality, it becomes your friend, your partner in crime or even your bedroom. Christine takes that to the extreme, and will turn it into a suicide pact. If you, like me, have ever finally got a girl into your car and are about to get to some kind of heavy and awkward petting, then you will empathise with this next point. The 58 Fury will try to kill that girl with a hamburger. The car will also be jealous of all of your friends and it will try to kill them off. But then on the plus side, running costs will be at an all time low, it repairs itself and it probably runs and on hate and bile, so MPG isn't an issue, it's more MPD...'miles per death'. Oh and you'll never have to worry if that whole 'my car keeps catching fire' thing keeps happening, as it just keeps going, plus it will be warm. Which other iconic movie cars would it suck to own?
