so I hav
a question Cars hoods would they be like noses? I mean seriously. 
i mean like what if they snezed? would they
spew oil out of their hoods?
I’m not sure about oil from their hoods. When Snotrod sneezed, flames came out
of his side exhausts.
Well I actually
thought the hood would kind of be part of their head sonce it covers the engine , which to me is like their brain
.
I
think the engine plays as their heart, which keeps the car going.
Great topic for whoever started this. I
am sure this will come up in Radio Pixar’s future in-depth discussion.
Wow , yours makes more sense than mine .
But what about arms and legs? I know Guido has his little pitch blades to lift stuff. But
what about the other cars?
I think of the tires as arms and legs . Remember when Lighning waved to the fans
(kind of ) in slow motion ?
True, but John Lassiter said in a featurete
that tires were a shoes. And Luigi’s tire shop was like a shore store.
Interesting topic.
I always figured that a car’s doors would function as its hands, its tires as its…"second
hands", and its headlights as its eyes. Of course, Pixar changed the latter feature, and they did it quite
effectively, too.
Well, here is all I’m assuming.
Windshield=Eyes
Tires=shoes
Back=rear end
Engine=heart
Paint
job=clothes
Grill=mouth/teeth
CarFreak- I think your theory makes sense. If the windshields are eyes, and the
grills are mouths, then inbetween the two must be the nose.
Exactly! that’s what I was
trying to point out I mean if grillz are mouths and windsheilds are eyes then their hoods would be the nose, but
then again that’s where their engines would be like the brain. yeah, because our nose leads to the brain &
in this case the hood’s the nose and the engine is the brain. Or what if the engine isn’t the brain? it could
be the heart or what if they have a mechanical brain and a mechanical heart? But if we’re going into those terms
we’d be comparing cars to humans in this case are the pixar animators comparing cars to humans? Ouch my brain
hurts. 
CarFreak- I
think the engine being the heart makes sense, but it could be a mixture of both the brain and the heart, because
if it is only one, then where is the other?
Finding real similarities between humans and cars is pretty
impossible, though. Pixar rendered enough for us to think of the cars as having personalities and thoughts of
their own, but kept them as cars at the same time, striking a good balance.
Never thought about it that way, and I think that Cars
have a brain inside their head you know like their is a little person inside their head contrling them and their
every move but I think they do have a brain and a heart. You were right about one the thing about the heart and
the brain i have to say you’re right I say they have a brain/heart.
Maybe the tires are shoes and gloves .
Exactly. One of the things
that I’ve noticed us getting caught up on in this thread is trying to make direct analogies between cars and
humans; as I’ve said at least once before, the simple fact of it is, it just can’t be done. There are enough
aspects of the cars (and of their world) that can be drawn as analogous to humans so that we can come to believe
in them more easily, but when it’s all said and done, they still are cars, not humans turned into cars.
My self would think cars were humans turned into these creatures because they seem as if 
they actually
were people.
[b]Yes this is a great topic and yes this very well could end up
on Radio Pixar. [/b]
But Pixar used a technique that makes the Cars relate so much to humans. It’s
like they have became so real to us, we can connect to them.
TSS- What I tried to highlight in my post was that, yes, Pixar made it so that we
could relate to the cars, but that, at the end of the day, they were still cars in themselves, and Pixar caught
the balance between the two.
