do you remember how pissed the sheriff was when lightning popped in and saw him on the hoist? exactly for that reason

sheriff wasn't pissed as i remember..he waved his butt in a teasing manner and said "Get a good peek city boy?" or something along that line...then says "hope you enjoyed the show!"
i think he was being more.. playful(in a nasty way XD) then mad.. LOL..

playful? hm... i got the impression that he was embarassed being seen with a probe sticking in his exhaust (and a good view on his more "private parts"). must be like being spotted with your pants down and a thermometer sticking in your butt, for humans

drewster: wow, impressive! i'm still not decided whether the passenger compartment is "empty" or not, so the brain would be located elsewhere in my scheme. but since not all cars do have board computers (especially the classic car types), they definitely must have a brain...!

Thanks, Stickers...I am just going with some basic medical knowledge. It just seemed the most logical area for the brain to be...since the side and rear view windows are grayed out. I imagine the cars-beings are kinda like cyborgs or a symbiosis of organic and non organic life. They are NOT like our cars, IMO. So I have them with animal-ish organ systems which interact and connect with the engine and drive train, which is a silicon based life tissues. If any of this makes sense....Oo

i don't think the passenger compartment's empty, I think part of it (or maybe even all of it) would house the brain.

I imagine the cars-beings are kinda like cyborgs or a symbiosis of organic and non organic life. yep, this is what i think, too. semi-organic machine creatures. which leads me to another problem - the problem of the "missing limbs"... many cartoon characters which originally are mammals walking on all of their 4 legs are shown - in the resp. cartoons - walking upright like humans, on their hind legs, to have free use of their other two limbs (as arms and hands). cars cannot do that - they need to stay on all four wheels (cars walking on their hind wheels would be looking somewhat ridiculous and unreal (although the taxi in "who framed roger rabbit" does), and furthermore they would expose their somewhat "private" and vulnerable parts of their undercarriage). therefore they are "missing" two limbs, so to speak. with this obvious disadvantage, they have to develop other ways of "handling" things (touching, grabbing, etc.). the movie tries to avoid such scenes (we only see few scenes, such as ramone painting the fence, or at the race, a car waving the green flags) and therefore develops a lot of "deviations". i guess that in the movie, some of the ways the cars are moving were derived from cats as examples - the way they stretch (mater, in the morning), the way they rub and touch each other (lmq and sally, ramone and flo) is very cat-like (i know what i'm talking of, i've grown up with cats). cats also use only one of their legs at a time when touching or grabbing things (and rarely both "front" legs when catching mice and birds). likewise, we see (if, at all) cars only using one tire for holding/grabbing something. this still lets me wonder how cars can sign a contract, pick up any stuff, read a book or paper (turn the pages), and so on. this is one of the big problems in car world. being able to use only one "limb"/tire restricts the way of acting considerably. how could they build houses, construct machines? we see a lot of buildings in car world... how did they come into existence? car world seems to have a high level of development as well as a high standard of living, i. e. there is tv, radio and papers, there must be schools and universities, cars do have professions, they use machines... what do you think?
