Mine is...well the APC from Aliens 2, and the games.

APC (ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER)

Size: Large
Armament: Front and Roof turrets

The APC is a heavy-duty personnel carrier for troop transport. It's covered with a thick layer of bonded titanium able to withstand most heavy weaponry. On the backside of the roof are dual-linked turret-mounted plasma guns and in the front of the APC (near the driver's window) are dual-linked gatling guns. The APC can take up to 12 passengers in addition to the driver and section commander.


Crew: 2 plus 12
Engines: Arco Continental R-370 286kW Gas Turbine
Dimensions: 8.58m x 3.38m x 2.81m
Weight: 14,500kg
Road Speed: 150kmph

Why do I like it?

1. The look. I mean common, look at it. Steel and titanuim plating (which makes any attack from an alien or predator look like they are hitting it with a wiffle bat.)

2.Picking up chicks.
I dunno, but if you drove this baby down the street...common what woman could not resist being picked up in an awsome cannon wielding pimp-mobile?

3.Handling
Hmmm, from what I saw in the movies this thing had quite some speed and manuverability.

and well...uhh yeah

    B-Wings from StarWars. If you watch at the end of Return of the Jedi, you can see 'em flying and they look real cool. The cabin stays in one place and the rest of the ship kinda rotates around it.
