Vehicles: Difference between revisions

Vehicles come in different shapes, sizes, colors, classes, years, makes, and models. Many have their eyes located on their windshield (as opposed to being on their headlights, which serve as their cheekbones instead, unlike most cartoon cars like the Chevron cars, though there is [[Celine Dephare|one exception]] to this rule). The vehicles' windows are all opaque and gray, so no one knows what is inside, and it is implied that they may not be hollow (though some concept art imply the presence of animal-like organs inside them). None of their doors ever open (ultimately the only one exception being [[Tow Mater]] in the episode "[[Salt Fever]]" of the 2022 series ''[[Cars on the Road]]''). Convertibles always have their roofs up, vehicles without a roof in real life (such as [[Francesco Bernoulli]] and [[Rip Clutchgoneski]]) are given on in this world, and vehicles with asymmetrical cockpits (such as [[Topper Deckington III]]) in real life have perfectly symmetrical cockpits in the same world. Whenever a car blushes, his/her headlights start turning on at the wrong time or shine brighter if they were already on. Cars typically have four wheels, but some vehicles have fewer like three, or more like six. Vehicles usually treat their front wheels as if they were hands, and use them to move objects, and their tires as shoes. Cars also don't have stated ages but are rather implied. As there are examples of kid cars, multiple adult cars and elderly cars.

Cars do not wear clothing, but some appear to have headgear of some kind (such as semi-trucks having wind deflectors resembling trucker caps), and some other accessory (such as glasses for [[Mel Dorado]], and a monocle for [[Professor Zündapp|Professor Z]]). Most car names are either based on the type of car they are based on ([[Sally Carrera]] ([[Porsche]] Carrera), [[Doc Hudson]] ([[Hudson]] Hornet), [[Cad Spinner]] ([[Cadillac]] Escalade), etc.), a car-related pun ([[Darrell Cartrip]], [[Nigel Gearsley]], etc.), an abnormal first name and a normal surname ([[Lightning McQueen]], [[Bruiser Bukowski]], etc.), either a normal first or full name ([[Roger Wheeler]], [[Chuck Armstrong]], [[Hank Murphy]], etc.), or only having one name, whether real ([[Fillmore]], [[Sarge]], [[Luigi]], [[Guido]], etc.) or unusual ([[Boost]], [[Ripslinger]], [[Mayday]], etc.). Vehicles primarily treat fuel as food, although they can sometimes be seen eating human food like fruits and vegetables as well. It is shown that some cars have religions ("[[Chrysler]]" replacing "Christ", "the manufacturer" replacing God, the presence of an [[Pope Pinion IV|automobile Pope]], etc.) like some cultures in real life. Some vehicles are known to actually fall in love (Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera, [[Tow Mater|Mater]] and [[Holley Shiftwell]], [[Dusty Crophopper]] and [[Ishani]], etc.) and even get married ([[Ramone]] and [[Flo]], [[Uncle Topolino|Uncle]] and [[Mama Topolino]], [[Harvey and Winnie|Harvey]] and [[Harvey and Winnie|Winnie]], etc.). Even though vehicles can also be children as well as adults, it is unknown of how they are able to reproduce in the first place, although several quotes throughout the ''Cars'' series imply that they are manufactured (e.g., a quote/line by [[Tomber]] "At least 35,000 cars were made with this engine."). Vehicles can apparently also die like [[Doc Hudson]], [[Rod Redline|Rod "Torque" Redline]], [[Leland Turbo]], etc.), though it is left vague on what happens to them post-death if not destroyed already (the [[Cars/Deleted elements#Lost|''Cars'' deleted scene "Lost"]] and ''[[The Radiator Springs 500½]]'' of [[Cars Toons|Tales from Radiator Springs]] depicts dead cars as old, broken-down actual cars).
