I couldn't wait any longer. The Metallicar is too pretty not to have its own thread. So how many of you guys are waiting for the "shirtless Deans wash and wax the Metallicar" scene that just HAS to happen?
God that car is pretty. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy one in perfect condition. And I'll only play Mullet Rock when I ride around in it. HEE!

I would be all about a shirtless Hot!Dean waxing the Metallicar!
I just realized the car I borrowed from my cousin to take my driving test in (way back in the 70's when conversion vans were the rage and I couldn't maneuver that mother fucker for anything and failed that part twice because of its hugeness!) was an Impala!! And it was green! It wasn't nearly as pretty as the Metallicar though! Nor did I look half as hot driving it.

I've never really been a car person, but... that's a pretty car. I was actually grumbling before Hookman that he "better not scratch Metallicar".

I'm not a car person either. In fact, I still don't have a driver's license (or even a permit) yet. But Metallicar? It's almost as purty as the Deans. And it should be listed as a cast member. Seriously.

Who can they cast to supply the William Daniels-esque voice of Metallicar?
My vote?
Bob Saget.

If they ever do an opening sequence the Metallicar should have it's own little spot. I thought it spoke highly of HotDean that he even let Sam drive the car.
Now the Metallicar was originally John's right? I wonder how and when it changed hands.

Yes, Brunette, they must wash and wax the car. It's important to keep up on the maintenance of your vehicle.
Seriously, though, I had an 1979 Chevy Impala. No, not the cool Impala, but the 8-cylinder, 6-passenger, built like a freaking tank, variety. You know, the old grandma sedan. At the drive-in, three people could lay on the hood of the car and watch the movie. I had to admit, it was a good car. When everybody else's car refused to start/run during a negative wind chill, blowing, drifting, snow kind of winter day, my car started and ran well. I took everybody else to work, and the bad thing about it is that the thermostat was broken, so there was no heat. It still ran. I miss that car, but not the gas mileage. She finally had to be put out of her misery.
I've always wanted a cool Impala, though.

OMG, so did I! It was white and looked like a police cruiser. My friends all drove sporty new cars and made fun of it.

My friends used to make fun of my car. One night a bunch of us went out in three cars (including mine). On the way back we passed through a flooded out intersection one rainy night (maybe 10-12 inches deep). My car went through with no problems -- and their sporty new cars all stalled. Hee. They never made fun of my car again. Well, sort of. After that they started calling my car "The Boat".

I remember reading an article (seeing an interview?) that the creator of the show said there were three main characters: Dean, Sam and the car. So yes, if there's an opening sequence Metallicar better be front and center.
As much as I like the Dragon we got (is it just me or does he look really excited, kind of like he spotted Hot!Dean walking toward him?), I really think it should have been an icon of Metallicar.

Lotamoxie, I also referred to my car as a boat. The kids I used to job coach named her Bessie.
I'm really not feeling the talking car vibe. That's so 1980's David Hasselhoff and KITT the talking car.
Julie Newmar also played Catwoman.

The Impala is cool, I grant you, but my 1961 has fins. We don't drive it much, but it always starts when we need it to.

Love the Impala! I love old cars and that is now my dream car. I wonder where they found the Metallicar? And do they really get drive it? Or are they pulled by some trailer?
That's a great story Lotamoxie. I think old cars run better than most new cars on the market. Mostly because they're built better IMO. My parents offered me the family heirloom a while ago: a red 1993 Caprice Classic. It's huge, red, smells of ciggarettes and it smokes, but it wouldn't cost much to get fixed , plus it's easier than getting a new car. My friends keep trying to convince me to take my parents up on their offer because it's huge, you could fit a lot of people in it.

I so want my very own Metallicar. All of my friends have SUVs, which I can't stand. But Metallicar's a classic. She never goes out of style. And I must say, I like the fact that they hold a lot of people. It's like an SUV only not as big and boxy looking!

Posted Nov 4, 2005 @ 3:09 AM
I'm not the one interested in cars in my family, but even I have to admit that Metallicar is a sweet ride.
Same here. It's a classic and should be treated as such-- by being driven at high speeds with the windows down, while blaring metal.

They must never give Metallicar a voice.
But if they do, it must be Shannen Doherty. Only she could portray the bitch you know Metallicar is.
Edited because I was far too tired and caffeine deprived when I originally posted and I misspelled Shannen's name. Shannen, sweetie, please don't hurt me. You know I am your bitch : )

I'd like to know more about that car. I am a car guy, and I can tell from it's rumpety-rumpety-rumpety exhaust that it's got a pretty aggressive cam profile.
Sounds awesome, I miss that era. They'd better save their money for gas though, because a 327 or 350 in that state of tune would be very thirsty.

I got my Impala from my Dad, whose name is Frank, so I named it Frankie.

I was always partial to the Angelmobile and the Rockford Ride. However, Metallicar beats them both hands-down.

Heh, Shannen Dougherty. That's cracking me up.
nubbs, I love the sound of the Metallicar's exhaust (and your description of it). I love old cars...that Impala ranks right up there with the 65/66 Mustang and 68 Firebird.

Heh, Shannen would be pretty freaking awesome.
But for some reason, when I thought about a talking Metallicar, I envisioned Reese Witherspoon as the voice. Specifically "Sweet Home Alabama" Reese, not "Legally Blonde" Reese.
Because "Sweet Home Alabama" Reese is snarky, Southern, and kick-ass, which is what I think Metallicar is probably like.
#27
Posted Nov 7, 2005 @ 4:33 PM
I would have to go with "Freeway" Reese. Not just because of the title, but because of how she can walk into a diner covered in blood and say "I must look a fright. Where's the restroom?"

Posted Nov 7, 2005 @ 4:51 PM
Oooh, I like Reese much better. For some reason I kept hearing the voice of Jo from Facts of Life as the Metallicar. Not of the good.

OMG. That is freakin' hilarious.
I like southern and snarky, but I'm not sure if Reese's voice is edgy enough. Maybe if she smoked a couple of packs a day. Not that I ever want the Metallicar to actually have a voice; unless it's something like that X-Files episode where the tattoo talks to the guy. (The tattoo was played by Jodi Foster.)
