Exactly. XD I've always viewed it as just part of them - I'm sure they occasionally wonder why the Hell they have all that too.

Not to mention there trunks.
And the most vital part of them is their engine area just under the hood. Is that like internal organs? If so, what's inside the other part of them? Brains?
Yeah, I'm being morbid, I know. I'm just getting down to the thick of the matter.

They have to have brains somewhere. Although in a deleted scene, Doc and Sheriff put Lightning's engine into a roller for community service, leaving Lightning's empty shell (O____O;).
So apparently if that's considered canon, the whole of your mind is in your engine.
Though if it were true, Doc would be keeping dead bodies behind his shop, so yeah XD

Lmfao yeah, he'd be keeping dead bodies.
Convertibles, though - Convertibles can't have brains on the inside behind the doors. I believe trunks are used to carry stuff, by the way. Like spare tires.

Convertibles shouldn't have seats, either. Or a steering wheel, internal pedals and whatnot either.
Obviously Pixar didn't put any convertibles in the movie because all the problems that come up.. XD

And yet there's a convertible Corvette that's a character in the Main Cars RP. ^^

I just realized that there could be a disturbingly large role for Auto-Creationism, given our characters' frequent references to Chrysler. Like...Gottlieb Daimler invented the first car, and his company later merged with Chrysler's. It's like the welding of a freaking schism.

I've seen enough of those evolution/creationism arguments to know that it just turns out silly and useless.

I wouldn't take "Community Service" as canon because: 1. It's a nightmare. 2. In Art of Cars, there is a storyboard sequence of another nightmare Lightning has, where he's racing towards the Piston Cup, and can't move any closer than a couple of feet before the finish line. He puts all he's got into it, but to no avail. Then his hood pops off, and his engine starts lifting out of its base. Eventually it snaps free and goes flying towards the cup, leaving Lightning screaming at the finish line. This version shows that the engine is not the brain, so they obviously haven't decided on its role. I remember reading a comedic review for Cars that says it's a prophetic warning that Cars will overthrow their human masters. Maybe that explains it.  |

I also agree there's a chance they were created, and relatively recently. But don't worry, I won't argue about it because we're discussing a fictional universe with a fictional god (Chrysler) anyway. It would be pointless! My favorite theory is that the cars survived an apocalypse that wiped out the humans, but my dad, a big sci-fi fan, said that vehicles would be rendered useless with a sufficient dose of radiation. Something about it destroying all electrical components. Anyway, that's too bad because if all of us were gone I'd at least hope life would go on in the form of adorable animated cars.  |

This might sound kinda loopy, but give it a chance... tiny, nonsapient machine-creatures achieved sentience overnight through some miraculous event and then began rapidly evolving between generations. That probably sounds as valid as anything else proposed here, and then maybe I read Robert Heinlein's Number of the Beast too many times, which means that in nth-degree geometry, this universe actually does exist and could be located by anyone with a Burroughs-Long drive and the right set of verniers.

It's kinda a losing battle when we're getting indepth into a fictional world that was created for a film. XD
