It will happen to all of us one day. We'll be sent across the River Styx on the universe's inevitable one-way ferry ride. We asked our readers earlier this week what cars would be their dream hearse. Some commenters decided to take the inquiry seriously and suggest tastefully elegant rides to go out on, like DMX's casket being carried in the bed of a monster truck. Others refused to reflect on their own mortality for comedic references to Hollywood classics. One person believes that they will live forever. (It wasn't me.) Without further ado, these are the vehicles that we want taking us into the great beyond:

My friend's shwarma food truck. For sanitation purposes, I could be stowed somewhere as to avoid food contamination, and after the funeral, he can open up shop during the wake and make some extra money catering the event.

A Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. I want to go out in style, and there is nothing with more style than that car. Nothing.

Oh, this one's easy...Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake. In my opinion, one of the most drop-dead gorgeous cars made in the past decade.

Choose a 20-year-old BMW from virtually any NPOND article, and you'd almost be guaranteed immortality since you'd never make it to the cemetery.

Any car, but with a Lightning McQueen body kit. The eyes are repainted to look like they're crying, and the following cars all have black veils. Then I hire that PI firm in Florida that pretends to be cops and tries to pick fights with anyone who drives too close to them.

A Doc Brown DeLorean time machine. I, of course, will be driving.

Austin FX4 taxi. Iconic, spacious, and hearse-like.

A dream hearse would imply that I plan on dying and not having my brain put into a new immortal cyborg body.
Though I suppose, should I expire before my cyborg body is ready, that my dream hearse would be some kind of rocket that would launch my remains someplace cool, like into the sun or to Jupiter.
