Thanks to a surprise cameo in the seven second of ‘American Dad’ that I accidentally watched this week, I’ve been thinking about Herbie, The Love Bug. As a child, I always sort of wanted a car that could think for itself, like a pal you have to fill up with gas and occasionally repair. Sure, he wasn’t quite as cool as KITT or as intergalactic as The Millennium Falcon, but Herbie was my Number One Ride until I realized just how compact a compact car the Volkswagen Beetle actually was, leading to today’s transportational query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) also wouldn’t mind having an X-Wing fighter, though that’s probably limited in usefulness, asking: What’s the Number One Ride in all of pop culture?

I don’t have a drivers license, so it would have to be KITT or some decently functional Autobot, like Sideswipe because they drive themselves. I’d get to talk with someone while riding too.
Land Speeder. Not the one in the movie. The original Mattel toy with floaty wheels. That baby was sweeeeet!
Yeah, it was!
The TARDIS, because even though it might not take you where you want to go, it always takes you where you NEED to go.
