What would Darwin drive?

He is a forward-thinking man of discretion but scientific fact. He's more than likely environmentally aware, and yet is a man's man when it comes to machinery. A Prius might not do it for him. A Shelby Cobra, however, could.

Still I wonder, what would Charles Darwin today drive?

Any ideas?

Definitely a DeLorean, for obvious reasons.

He's an English gentleman. He would never drive unless it was at a sporting event where he would take the wheel of a Jaguar. Pronounced the correct way: Jag you are. The rest of the time Jeeves would drive him in his Bentley. A Rolls Royce would be too ostentatious.

Darwin would ride a bicycle - a truly evolved and elegant form of transportation.

If lacking leg strength, Darwin would drive a 550 replica spyder with a twin-plug 3.2 because Darwin would also like to go FAST!

He would drive the "baddest" chick-magnet he could afford. This gives him more opportunities to procreate. Its all about having more offspring than the rest.

Good point, Steve. But, I think it should be British:

It would definitely have to be something to allow him to travel upright.







Looks like he might have at least one convert.
