About this time every year, news outlets like ours wax nostalgic over the past year, compiling the highlights, lowlights, bloopers, and everything in between that happened in the last 365 days. Notes are compared, calendars dates are circled, lists are conjured. Understandably, other than leaving you with 100 of our greatest automotive photographs this year, we'd largely prefer to forget this year in automotive history altogether, soaked as it is with red ink and spattered with the blood of fallen brands.

So instead of rehashing the past, we'd like to hear what your automotive-themed New Year's resolutions are for 2010. Do you plan on buying a new car? Finally taking up autocrossing? Mastering the art of the Scandanavian Flick? Take the fam on a road trip that follows the route in National Lampoon's Vacation? Perhaps you have more modest goals - learning how change out your spark plugs, say, or finishing that Testors model kit gathering dust on that shelf in the basement. Maybe it's just scraping out that crud that has mysteriously congealed in your cupholders or finally beating your nephew at Mario Kart. No matter how big or how small, we want to hear about your automotive plans for 2010. Drop us a line or two in Comments... and have a safe and happy New Year's!

On the heels of yet another movie promotion for Pixar's Cars, Cars.com (natch) has gone and selected what it considered the ten best movie cars of all time, along with five it figures should've been earmarked for the compactor.

The envelope, please ...

Best:

  1. 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, "Back to the Future"
  2. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (for completists, that's a 250 GT California Spyder SWB, guys)
  3. 1974 Dodge Monaco, "The Blues Brothers"
  4. 1964 Aston Martin DB5, "Goldfinger"
  5. Batmobile Tumbler, "Batman Begins"
  6. 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390, "Bullitt"
  7. 1959 Cadillac Ambulance, "Ghostbusters"
  8. 1958 Plymouth Fury, "Christine"
  9. 1973 Ford Falcon, "The Road Warrior" (pictured)
  10. 2003 Mini Cooper S, "The Italian Job"

Worst:
  1. 1983 Ford LTD Country Squire, "National Lampoon's Vacation"
  2. 1974 Dodge Tradesman, "Napoleon Dynamite"
  3. Winnebago Chieftain, "Spaceballs"
  4. 1984 Ford Econoline, "Dumb and Dumber"
  5. 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, "Herbie: Fully Loaded"

Technical details, unique features and an explanation as to how they ranked the vehicles are at the link. Apparently, we've got more love for the Griswold's metallic pea-soup Wagonqueen Family Truckster than the folks at Cars.com. C'mon... where's your sense of humor, guys?
