Uncool vehicles you'd like to drive once.

My bucket list vehicles to drive would include

1) McLaren F1
2) McLaren MP4/2, /4, /6
3) Ferrari F40

But those you can readily admit to people so for Monday's random question.

What uncool vehicle would you want to drive once?

Mine are
1) Oscar Myer Hot Dog mobile
2) School Bus

Sorry, but a zamboni is cool IMO. So is the Oscar Meyer Mobile...

Can't think of any right now... will have to get back to you. Only one popping in my head is an Aztek... but I really have no desire to drive it... even though it's sooo uncool (and ugly).

Does this count? I'd like to ride on this, and it's definitely not cool.

I don't think the Zamboni counts because it would be cool to drive one of those.

Mine would probably have to be a Smart car. I hate them but morbid curiosity will eventually get the better of me.

I drove the Prius. Got one as a rental once. I liked it. Not a bad car.

What I thought the point was - unusual or weird vehicles we'd want to drive (hence the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile in the OP

)

I definitely think Zamboni's are cool

If I were to make another choice - I'd say an 18 wheeler with as many speeds as possible (18 I believe?). I've always thought it would be interesting to drive one with the switch on the shifter for high/low gears, plus having to double clutch.

4G TL, no doubt. But it would have to be in 6MT and SH-AWD trim.

I would want to drive an RV one day. Really dunno why

Well I went down to my local arena.
I asked to see the manager man.
He came from his office and said, "Son can I help you?"
I looked at him and said, "Yes you can."

'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni.
I wanna drive the zamboni.

Since I was young it's been my dream
to drive that there zamboni machine.I'd get that ice just as slick as could be,
and all the kids would look up to me.

'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni.
I wanna drive the zamboni.
(Yes I do.)

The manager said, "Son, I know it looks keen,
but that right there is one expensive machine.
And we've got Smokey who's been driving for years."
About that time, I broke down in tears.

'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni.
I wanna drive the zamboni.
'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni.
I wanna drive the zamboni.
(Yes I do.)

I gotta get my @ss to France. However, I will have to deal with the fact that there is no zimmerit coating on it.....but I can overlook it just to drive it.

However I will need to steer clear of the magnetic mines!!!!!

Uncool vehicles I'd like to drive: a Smart car (arguable whether it's cool or not), an early '70's 340-4 barrel Dodge Dart/Plymouth Duster, any AMC Gremlin and maybe an AMC Pacer.

I've driven a duck boat!

Long story short my parents and I went to DC and did some tours. I recently got my learners permit and the driver of the bus/boat knew about it. He brought me up front and let me drive it around in the water for 15 or 20 minutes.

It was a piece of shit.
