This is a tough list, and one I’ve had to think about for a while. There are just so many cool movie and TV cars. I’ve certainly had fun researching this one and admiring all the beautiful vehicles that we have had adorning our screens….
One of my main rabbit holes on the internet that I find myself falling down, more times than I really should, is watching old interviews on late night US chat shows. There are so many great interviews on Letterman, Leno and Carson’s shows in particular….
