10 Iconic Movie Cars It Would Suck To Actually Own

6. 'Grease Lightning'- Grease

There is not a scale in the world that could quantify how much of an idiot you'd look driving this around. People will think you are John Travolta - or at least that you think you are, which is probably worse - and you'd pretty much be obligated to wear a leather jacket and use copious lashings of Brylcream, which will make you look like a confused young offender. On top of all this, you just look like a seedy chancer hoping your Rohypnol levels are adequately stocked. Yet, it still tugs at that part of your brain that used to draw cars when you were young, with its fins and pipes and ridiculously overblown wheels, it still makes you want one. But you're always in the knowledge that John Travolta and the rest of the Groovy Gang have sung an incredibly vomit inducing song all over it, it'll be like your partner has cheated on you, only worse. It can't be wholly reliable either, considering some dudes from high school built it using nothing but their combs and hormones. Good if you want to pick up a blind chick, bad if you want any friends.
