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. I'm starting to think of nanotechnology here.

Oh, now HERE'S a thought: What if instead of evolving as models they evolved from the headlight-eyed freaks to what they are now? ; And then the different models started coming through?

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 Mia and Tia(the Miatas)are convertibles,

That's true. And there was consideration to place convertibles (note, they even kept the name of the truck stop in the movie: "Top Down").
I know when I draw Clara (my convertible), there's a sort of tarpish thing over where her seats, steering wheel, pedals, etc would be, so there's no actual seats, per se.
Anyway, I like entertaining the steampunk fantasy way of doing things. Going off my Transformers roots here, it's entirely possible for a sentient, biomechanical race to be created by some kind of higher power (in the case of the Transformers, it was Primus (this, of course, all depends on the mythos you follow... I'm of this school); in this case, it could be the "Great Manufacturer"). And, of course, in any sentient, intellectual society, there's going to be religious debates. There'll be those that believe their world is only so old, others this old.
But yeah. I've seen some really incredible takes on the Da Vinci designs (I'll scan some if I get a chance... there was a rather awesome steampunk fantasy version of Transformers done and I've got all four issues) that could be the predecessors for aircraft... and it's easy to believe that steam propulsion could've moved around the ancestors of current cars... with increasingly "primitive" designs.
I always like thinking of worlds that could have different origins than the tried and true (but, to me, horridly boring) "someone that isn't a higher power had to play a hand in it" one.

I like to thing that there were people, but there aren't anymore, for whatever reason.
That's just my little theory, and that's all anything said here is: a theory.
I'm sure Pixar didn't even think as to where cars in the Cars world came from.

I like to thing that there were people, but there aren't anymore, for whatever reason. To each his own. ^^ It is an interesting thought. I'm just weird. XD I'm sure Pixar didn't even think as to where cars in the Cars world came from. And that's why we exist! XD

Its true though. We have all these theories why we exist and such, and what the meaning of life is, but nobody knows that, and therefore, Pixar have most likley made Cars as life-like in a Cars way as they can.

I think we started thinking much deeper than Pixar did a long time ago. What we're doing right now is closer to unofficially expanding the Cars universe rather than theorizing about it...

My Basic Beliefs about the origin of our Universe is Creationist Evolution, i.e.:
1. God made it.
2. God then proceeded to guide evolution so we'd arrive.
My beliefs extend to the Motorverse as well, although the higher power behind it will have had more of a direct role in creating the first cars, and sped up evolution like there's no tomorrow.

Pixar made it.
Pixar then proceeded to release a movie about it so we'd make up the rest.

Pixar is God. LOL! ^_^ And so we shall have done so and so it is to be. Praise be to Pixar. I'm just being funny. ^_^

To each his own. ^^ It is an interesting thought. I'm just weird. XD Yeah, exactly. Theories are really fun and no one is right or wrong, so it's always interesting to read what other people have to say. To me the more pressing issue is where baby cars come from.
