:smiley: Thank you, I thought it had a p, wasn’t sure though :unamused: [/size]

Dang! I was wrong! Yeah, that was the thing I found too, I didn’t really know what was going on. :stuck_out_tongue: I think a summary would have helped some.

OMG! I love that fanmade picture! That has got me interested now too! I’m going to think of that every time Mater mentions the dinosaurs now. 8D

I’m wondering if a metero killed all the broughams and carriages and victorias and ottomans from the nineteenth centruy, and the cars emerged from the aftermath.

Or if cars are what happened after the carriages and such evolved.

One thing that makes no sense, though. There is a car based on the 2009 model of a car
the original agent that Finn was supposed to meet, and whom was killed by Dr. Z and Grem and Acer. I know that cars with a 2008 digit came out in 2008, but how could a car be born in 2009 and be a fully-grown agent in 2011? That makes no snse at all
surely cars have to be nurtured like humans do? Or do cars come out of the “gas pump” fully grown, and ready to hit the work place?

#144

Well, cars childhood is a concept no one has grasped yet, but anyway, who’s to say that Cars 2 takes place in 2011?

It can be a little later, so that newer models have the time to “grow”.

Take the first Cars for instance, if things were like that, Sally would only be 4 years old.

#145

I thought Sally was based on an older model than that


Anyway, technoogy might advance too quickly for it be believable that Cars 2 takes place after 2011.

Then again, Twilight was written in 2004 and published in 2005, but it’s obviously set from 2006-3008, even though it never gives a specific date in the book.

#146

No, Sally is a 2002 model.

And I do think the technology in Cars 2 looks more advanced than 2011, but then again, we don’t know the setting of the Cars universe timeline, and I don’t think we should try to make sense out of it, because we’ll find it doesn’t make any 8D

#147

True, I believe we were talking about this same fact once and there were some good ideas on how their age works. Which leads me to wonder about the end of their life
 I mean, a car can last a pretty long time can’t it? Does that mean a lot of them live to be like 200? We know Doc passed away, but just look at Lizzie! Again, this messes with the so-called ‘timeline’. 8D

#148

Yes. 8D

This doesn’t give a whole answer but I think part of it depends on different factors. Like the popular theory of Doc’s earlier injuries and lifestyle maybe causing some complications and eventually, his death. I guess, like humans, it just depends on what happens in your life.

#149

Yeah, that could have played a big part. Never thought of that!

I’m writing a book about where cars go when they die in our world. It has nothing to do with Pixar’s Cars, but was obviously influenced by it. Heck, I try to figure out the gender of cars in our world based on what I know about Pixar’s cars. I think I saw a female bike today, but Pixar only has living motorized vehicles, and bicycles don’t have motors, so


#151

Cool! I used to try and decide genders for vehicles before the movie when I was just a little kid. :stuck_out_tongue: I named our family car back then too. 8D

#152

Haha, my cars have names and genders. :laughing:

#153

suddenly feels like less of a dork 8D

#154

That’s what I’m here for. :wink:

#155

i like to try and imagine my town in the cars-universe when i drive across town, which is always fun when i see the Hippie bus or the Herbi (we have one Hippie bus still painted up like they used to be, and one 50’s bug painted like Herbi)

also i always thought car lives were sort of like the life of a car in our universe:
-“born” = concept car
-“Model year” = a ‘car age’ of about 18-20 yrs old (making Sally about 22-24 in the first movie)
-and death would be a lot like it is, even for cars in our universe, depends on the car’s life, cars “die” earlier if they aren’t taken care of, or are in a huge crash that it’s hard to bounce back from (when i was a baby, my parents hit a deer in our car, the car “Survived” but always had some problems afterwards, maybe Doc had similar problems after his accident), but if a car is taken very good care of, it can live forever (sometimes when im driving around town, i pass a house that has a “Tin Lizzie” in the garage, i see it when they have the garage door open, as just an example of cars living as long as Lizzie)

#156

^^^ Those theories actually make a lot of sense and were totally awesome of you to think of. I agree. :slight_smile:

#157

That’s awesome! I don’t really name my toy cars much, but my black Escalade is named Eskie. Now I have another Escalade, a white one, that I don’t know what to name. The black one is a “boy” and the white one is a “girl.”

#158

[size=85] 8D I don’t name toy cars, but I call my mom’s P.T. Cruiser, “PeeTee” :sunglasses: I’m so creative :unamused: I’m not sure if I consider it a male or female, but I guess a female generally comes to mind 8D

When I was younger, me and my friend would sit outside and name and assign each car that passed a gender :smiley: [/size]

^ Love your sig! And my friend and I used to do a similar thing. Back at my elementary school there was nothing to do at school so we would walk up and down the length of the fence and talk. Along the walk we would pass a really long row of parked cars in the lot beside the fence. We would name every single car and then walk back and see if we could remember them all. Most were named based off whatever came to mind when we saw their license plate, or random things like bumper stickers. :stuck_out_tongue:

<3 Thank you :3 I'm on a really [i:1bimfo3x]mad[/i:1bimfo3x] Maroon 5/Adam Levine kick right now, you know since [i:1bimfo3x]The Voice[/i:1bimfo3x] started airing again. :lol: I just had to make a signature for it, and download all of their songs 8D

Now it makes me want to do that again 8D

Question: I’m sure someone has asked this question previously, but where on earth do cars put engagement items? Like when they get married? :-\ [/size:1bimfo3x]
