Top 5 Best Racing Cars

 Here are my top 5 favorite race cars,but with a catch: I'm picking one from each of my favorite series.

Le Man's: Morgan Plus Four- My favorite car company and my favorite motorsport,it's that simple.

Formula 1: Lotus 79- It's aerodynamics are awe inspiring. The fact that it's a Lotus also helps.

Global Rallycross: Volkswagen Beetle- My favorite production car is the Volkswagen Bug. So of course this beast was going to make it on the list.

NASCAR: Hudson Hornet- My favorite American car ever was also a no-brainer. The nickname says it all; the thing is fabulous.

GT Racing (counting subclasses): Lotus Exige- Lotus is one of my favorite car companies,thanks  to their lightweight cars that always knock it out of the park. This one is a great example of why I like them so much.

(updated) top 5 Pixar Cars Characters

 Welcome to the updated version of my Pixar Cars ranking. The rules are still the same: Only movie characters are allowed and I have to pick best and worst. Other than that,there are no rules. So let's begin.

1.(Best) Lewis Hamilton- The greatest F1 driver ever playing himself. Plus, he gets to be a Mclaren GT car.

2. (Best) Rusty and Dusty- Ah yes,the Car Talk guys acting like themselves. Did I mention that I love this franchise?

3.  Junior "Midnight" Moon- Junior Johnson,the bootlegger,racer,and voice of a Ford Coupe that he himself owns. That's awesome as I'll get out.

4. Doc Hudson- Based on a true racing story,I really enjoy this one. It also helps that I love the (real) Hudson Hornet quite a bit. 

5. Micheal Schumacher Ferrari- It pains me to put another one of my favorite F1 drivers so low. But his character hardly did anything in the movie. (I know that Lewis Hamilton didn't either,but he at least got to race some.) 

1. (Worst) Mia and Tia- Annoying,that's what these two Miatas are. Nothing more,nothing less,just annoying.

2 (Worst) Harv- No face to go along with him,just a voice? Wasted chance if you ask me.

3. (Worst) Minny and Van- They share one brain cell,they go from one being the smart one,to the other being smart. I just don't get it.

4. (Worst) Francesco Bernoulli- We finally get a F1 style car in the movies,cool,but his actual character is so egotistical and unlikable. They almost had it right.

5. (Worst) Sven-  He was just a parody of "Ah-nold" In the vein of Hans and Franz,but not actually funny. I just think his time on screen was blissfully short.

Crossovers Rock,Actually
