Non Cars characters as Cars characters.

((I'm not sure if this is the right forum to be posting this, please tell me if its not))

Well, as you know, I like using non-Cars characters as Cars, such as my character, Brandon whose a Canyonero, from a couple of eposides of the Simpsons, and I was wanting to get the Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation as a Cars character.

Just kinda curiouse as to what other non-Cars people would've liked to see as Cars, heh, though I've noticed at least one, the General Lee, nice choice.

[ebonyviper]

Yep, that was my idea to use the General Lee as a cars character.

And someone else, I think, made KITT, the talking Trans Am from Knight Rider, into a Cars character too. I'm not sure.

[ashkihyena]

Hah, if theres one Car that'd be great would defently be KITT. I would've also liked to see the DeLorean from BTTF (maybe sans the time travel equipment) and of course, the Ecto-1 as Cars characters.

[ebonyviper]

And how about the car from the James Bond movies? That would be awesome. I think it's an Aston Martin.

[ashkihyena]

That would pretty cool. Lol, I think he'd defently have to retain all his gadgets, can't have the Bond Car without all its gadgets.

you think it's an aston martin? assuming you mean the only car to appear in most Bond movies... yes... it's an Aston. It's a DB5. I thought everyone who knew what a car was knew that. I also think maybe thee various Bonds as their defining cars could be good. Connery as the DB5, Dalton as the V8, Roger Moore as the Lotus Esprit (Wet Nellie, or the maroon one he drives previously though?), Brosnan as either the new V8 or the Vanquish.

also, there's the Italian Job (original) Minis. Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds, Austin Powers' Shaguar hmmm... loads of cars in Days of Thunder - the original NASCAR Movie.

though when i first read the title, i thought it meant as in like... people as Cars, not movie cars. as Cars characters. someone coulda tried some Arnie movies with Hummer Arnie.

Amethyst held a contest with that precise objective. Although it failed(mainly due to CFU's untimely demise), it got some amusing entries.

Fierano's Carl and Cross characters are from the game Need for Speed: Most Wanted and its sequel Carbon.(although "Carl" is nameless in the actual game)

My own character John Bachmann is also from Most Wanted, based on the car I customized and drive in the game:
John 1

John 2

John 3

Suzidragonlady's character "Chakee" is based on Han's RX-7 from Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

LOL Wasn't there actully an Arnie Hummer in the Cars movie? Lol, and the Shaguar, that pictular car would be hitting on all the girls. Yeah, baby, yeah. Lol. As for the Bond cars, I can't entirely say myself, since I actully never saw the movies, or don't know anything cars really.

[adrian]

yes, Arnie Hummer was in Cars. that's why i said... someone should try do him in some of his film roles as the Hummer. He was done as a hummer mostly because he was the first civilian ever to own one.

also... Kitt has been done. as has a DeLorean called Marty.

I have them faved on DA.

[ashkihyena]

Lol, true, but I was actully talking about for the Cars movie itself, and yeah, I saw the DeLorean, I have it faved as well on DA.

[adrian]

as has General lee, and a DB5 called James and Herbie... oh. and Christine.

[adrian]

in the "Cars that never made it" sets? they're cool. and i am only just now getting round to watching that artist

[ashkihyena]

Yep, thats the one.

[Tracker89]

On the subject of Bond, Daniel Craig would be the Aston Martin DBS. Of course, unlike the other Bond cars, he wouldn't have any fancy weapons or gadgets, just pure axle-kicking ability.

Mr. Bean would be his little yellow-green Austin Mini.

Back on CFU, there was a thread on what Conan O'Brien would be in the Cars world. The accepted answer is a green 1992 Ford Taurus SHO.

[ashkihyena]

XD Yep, and guess who was the one who started that thread as well, me, haha, I could see Conan as his green 1992 Taurus.
