    I think a Stryker might stand up to Ray's driving skills a little better. Rougher ride, but it'll survive the occasional parking lot bumper-thumper with more aplomb.

    I'll tell you right now, Bettie Page could drive ME any way she wanted. Cheerful aw-shucks grin brings the elhigh to the yard.


    Elvis...would drive his Harley over to young Mr. Jackson's house and ask him exactly what the hell was he thinking tomcattin around his baby girl? Then he'd shown MJ his guns.


    Marilyn...could've saved Chrysler.


    Cesar Romero...clown car. With clowns. And Heath Ledger strapped to the fender.


    Audrey Hepburn...looks just too perfect in the Autobianchi from "To Catch a Thief." So find a nicely restored one of those and boom, done.


    Duke drives whatever the hell he wants, dammit.


    Rumors of his sexuality require that Mr. Dean spend his time in a Boxster.


    Houdini would drive an Opel GT. God knows I have enough trouble getting out.

    Sorry, I just can't see Ol' Blue Eyes in anything that's not large, rear-drive, and squishy. Maybe a '96 Fleetwood.

    @Mad_Science: '96 Fleetwoods were still rear-drive, iirc. DeVille/Seville/Eldorado weren't, but the Fleetwood was still a Giant Buick from Hell.


    Only from '93-'96 though. The late-'80s ones were FF, and suffered for it.

    Bob Ross was spot on - The first and only car I could think of before clicking his picture was a Prius.

    Why the heck would James Dean drive a new Porsche? If a car had killed ME, I'd think twice before buying the same brand again. I think he'd switch to a 'Vette ZR1.

    Bruce Lee originates from China,so why are so many people assuming he'd buy a Japanese car?

    I would think Bruce Lee would drive an Evo, but Jackie Chan drives one so he'd probably go with a GT-R or a FXX. If McQueen were to drive a new Mustang he'd probably have a special edition by Saleen.
