Ok so I am including all things SciFi and Fantasy on this one when it comes to modes of transportation. If it can move under it's own power, then so be it.
I'll start it off...
Tardus - Dr. Who
USS Defiant - Deep Space Nine
1982 Pontiac Trans Am KITT - Knight Rider
Goa'uld Death Glider - Stargate SG-1

My favorite is definitely the Starfury class of fighters in Babylon 5:
What makes them special is that the pilot is standing in the rotational center of the ship. That way it can spin 180 degrees with minimal g-forces affecting the pilot and even maintain its current direction of movement while doing so. That's pretty freakin clever if you ask me. In fact it's so clever that NASA asked Straczynski if they could use the ship's design.
But in terms of cheesiness nothing beats the flying motorcycles from the original BSG:

That green Helicopter/Motorcycle from M.A.S.K.
I know I could go to Syd's article and find the name, but I'm lazy.
Wait, that's not Sci-Fi or Fantasy is it?

Brad Turner's Condor may not be since it is animation and all, and a kids cartoon at that. But I'll allow it since I want this thread to grow, and I loved M.A.S.K.

Huh?
Thank god for Google man. Otherwise I'd be fucking lost.
USS Enterprise... really, that's your absolute favorite?
I have no doubt that I'll get shit for this because it technically won't move without pushing... but what the hell. This is what I would want.
Also I feel that I owe it to The Big Whale for having a fat chocobo and beds to rest in. It deserves to be my second choice should my first not be acceptable.
