Best known for his television series “Man vs. Wild,” the 37-year-old was the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest (when he was 23) and was a member of the U.K. Special Forces. In 1996, he badly injured his spine when his parachute failed to completely deploy, sending him plummeting to the ground which he hit with high speed. Eighteen months later, he was standing on the summit of Everest.

Movie and TV cars are literally the stuff of dreams. We’re all let into theaters and plopped in front of the tube long before we’re issued driver licenses.

Then we all dream of doing reverse 180s like Jim Rockford escaping thugs, or fleeing the po-po in a Shelby Mustang named Eleanor. We all want a best friend like KITT. And every orange Dodge Charger can fly, right?

These are the 100 movie and TV cars that built that passion.
