10 Iconic Movie Cars It Would Suck To Actually Own

10. Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang

Look at it, just look at it: it's a fairly safe promise that you will look the creepiest person on the planet if you curb crawl in that shiny oddity. Remember it is the real world, and you know there are lists for people that drive cars like that. All of its colour and splendour just makes it look like an automotive exotic bird displaying its sexual prowess to potential mates. And frankly, the multi-coloured wings and appendages it sports will only add to the brutal beating you're going to get from your friends. Not only does the stigma of being the creepiest vehicle owner ever come with the car, so does the turning circle of the Turpitz. So essentially you'll get stuck, and then just have the added fun of looking a complete dipstick trying to complete a 1000 point turn with its multi-coloured wings mocking you. You'd get more opposite sex attention driving a Daewoo Matiz. Above all however, people will always compare you to Dick Van Dyke. The less said about that the better. It does have a saving grace however, and that's the pedigree attached to it. It was designed as a racing car. This was born at a time when men were men and they wore huge moustaches. Races would be decided not on who came first, but who survived. That's why this car is number 10, because it deserves to be on the list, but it still has the slim chance of being a great car. A really, really slim one, but a chance all the same.
