The owls are not what they seem<\/h2>\n

The cult-hit series <\/span>Twin Peaks<\/span><\/i> \u2014 that creepy, mystical, \u201890s murder masterpiece by David Lynch and Mark Frost \u2014 is returning to Showtime this Sunday, 25 years after it originally aired. We expect nothing less than full immersion back into the misty, Pacific Northwest melancholy of the original, and we\u2019re ALSO hoping to see more of the retro cars that gave extra dimension to the charmingly flawed\u00a0characters. <\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate the occasion and bring you back to the nightmares from your youth (or the ones just got from binge-watching for the first time), we collected our favorite<\/span> doppelganger cars here, so you can get your own taste of the <\/span>Twin Peaks<\/span><\/i> experience. Just watch out for the spirit of Bob, and remember that the log might have a few things to say about you afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby Briggs\u2019 Plymouth Barracuda <\/span><\/h3>\n

With his mushroom cut, letterman\u2019s jacket, and his penchant to skip football practice whenever he feels like it, who could have more high school swagger than Bobby Briggs? And with his hotrod Cuda in tow, nobody could blame Laura Palmer for manipulating him into becoming her boyfriend. If you\u2019re harnessing a little jealous grudge or need to channel a little bit of Bobby\u2019s rebellious nature for yourself, have no fear, we\u2019ve got the muscle car for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audrey Horne\u2019s Mercedes-Benz 600 <\/span><\/h3>\n

Everyone knows the real queen of Twin Peaks wasn\u2019t Laura Palmer. \u201cWell, I\u2019m Audrey Horne, I get what I want\u201d might give you a clue. And as the richest, sauciest teen in town, she was often seen stepping in and out of a one-of-a-kind Mercedes Benz 600 limo. While this beautiful vintage Mercedes isn\u2019t a limo, it\u2019s probably still enough to slyly pick up Special Agent Cooper and see if you can\u2019t probe him with a few questions of your own. <\/span><\/p>\n

Twin Peaks Sheriff Dept\u2019s Ford Bronco<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are no characters more earnest then Sheriff Harry S. Truman of the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department, which is exactly why, from the beginning, he and Special Agent Cooper hit it off. Harry\u2019s big heart and good intentions make him easy to trust, and just as easy for Josie Packard to woo. But it makes sense, who doesn\u2019t want to have something classic, rugged, and trustworthy on their side? Which is exactly what the Bronco has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leo Johnson\u2019s Chevrolet Corvette<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before he learned a few lessons about how not to behave in life, Leo\u2019s firecracker personality and highly inflated sense of self \u2014 read: assholeishness \u2014 were embodied in his bright red Corvette. Which was obviously a solid choice for the guy who was the main local source of narcotics in town, right? But, listen, if you\u2019re not an ass and you\u2019re looking for above-board ways to feel your own flashy self, the Corvette is absolutely the car for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Nelson\u2019s Buick Skylark<\/span><\/h3>\n

To be honest, we never understood what Donna Hayward and her swoon-worthy maxi skirts were doing with Mike Nelson to begin with, but we suppose that\u2019s high school. If there was anything going for him, however, it was his Buick, which was jam-packed with the kind of refined character he clearly aspired to in his affair with Nadine. Mike wasn\u2019t there yet, but with this Lesabre, that refined character can be yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evelyn Marsh\u2019s Chevrolet Corvette<\/span><\/h3>\n

Evelyn Marsh is nothing if not a seductress, and you have to hand it to her: she knows exactly when to break out a bottle of champagne. Just like the fleet of cars that she brings James in to work on and repair, there\u2019s no denying her slick looks and pedigree. In the end, she proves that even with a streak of evil, one\u2019s heart sometimes falls into the right place. To harness your own seductress power, get in touch with this classic Corvette.<\/span><\/p>\n

Big Ed\u2019s Chevrolet Pickup<\/span><\/h3>\n

Big Ed is the salt-of-the-earth guy you can call whenever anything goes wrong, just like his truck. Even though Ed\u2019s passionate love is saved for Norma, he\u2019s still got enough sturdy toughness to handle the ups and downs of his marriage and his troubled nephew. And that\u2019s exactly what this truck<\/a> is capable of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donna\u2019s Station Wagon<\/span><\/h3>\n

Donna Hayward is the quintessential girl next door. The boxy station wagon that she drives is perfect picture of her own slightly sullied innocence, and is basically a step up from the bicycle she has to borrow from her sister. It\u2019s undeniable that her move into occasional smoking was a good look on her, and if a little responsible, adult fun is calling you, this station wagon is all yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Special Agent Dale Cooper\u2019s Car<\/span><\/h3>\n

While Special Agent Cooper\u2019s official car was a very classy-looking Dodge Diplomat, we\u2019re pretty sure you get a little of his detail-oriented, damn-fine-cup-of-coffee, hanging-upside-down to-think, open-to-mystical-energies-in-the-universe vibe. And it\u2019s definitely the right vehicle to take along on official business that includes donut-procurement.<\/span><\/p>\n
