So, how about the way that things are made in the Cars world to accommodate their users? If you've got nothing more than tires, an antenna and wipers to grip things with, tools and appliances would have to be made with those in mind. We saw the suction mounts and things for the cameras in the race scenes, how about other things?

How about antenna extensions? We saw that Luigi had a window wiper extension on his antenna as he was cleaning to windows of his tire shop.
What other antenna extensions would there be?

Well in order to reach things high up they'll probably need an antenna extension of some kind. Either that or get out the ramp-stool (step-stool)

I think bumper attachments are also a possibility, as we see Lightning use a giant scoop thing to scrape off the asphalt.
I can imagine a "street sweeper" attachment being the Cars equivalent of a broom.

And the hub attachments as well. Ramone was seen using one for an airbrush.

um.. question.. in the movie i didn't see one car with wippers??? or did i miss them?.... You didn't miss them. I never saw any either. I think the reason why is because of probably aethetics on Pixar's end. But that's not to write them out completely. For all we know, the wipers could be a bit sleeker things that hide in that one area between the windshield and the hood therefore, making them hard to see. ~Kamui.EXE |

hmm.. concerning the wipers, I don't think they would really need some, they are there to clean your windshield, but they do have eyelids, they could "do" this job, it's like real eyes, though yes if they would drive really fast they would need goggles or something to not get hit by any particles really hard.. though the eyes are behind a glass and the lids are in front of it.. so that wouldn't be a problem either.
Heh... concerning using tools, we were discussing about a snow shovel here for fun, it could have a round bar on it's end, assembled crosswise so that they can hold it with the teeth.. *lol* that thought was so funny that I even started to sketch it *gg* ... and here you definitely need to use a snow shovel...

I've been presuming the existence of wipers because they would need SOMETHING to clear their upper facial area of dirt and dust that the eyeshades couldn't always completely deal with, and besides that, are useful for manipulating small, light objects (like books, papers, PDA's and computer keyboards) A car could use its hood as a work surface and put the papers and whatnot before its eyes.

Actually, today I tried a little experiment (Oh god! I'm sad) well.... more of an accidental experiment when I was trying to get a huge box down stairs. To get down stairs, I have a series of lightswitches and dimmer switches I have to turn on in order to see what I'm doing and avoid tripping. So since both hands were full, I couldn't turn on the swicths and the dimmers with my hands. So instead since the tip of my nose wasn't helping, I kinda used my lips to help with the switches and the dimmers. The thing I noticed was we weren't giving the muscular power of lips enough credit. I was able to manipulate the dimmers with my upper lip and the switches with my lower. So maybe there's some manipulation capabilities there with that. Cars had lips, right? So they could also use them too to manipulate things. ^^;

I know some horses that are pretty handy with their lips, to the point of undoing bolts and knots and throwing switches. MAKING knots, OTOH, is a different deal, which is why things like wipers and antennas that can do small work would be handy.

I think that to the cars, since they seem to be as modest as we are, that they wouldn't really do that... They'd probably think of using their lips as rather dirty. I considered that idea but thought it too much like a dog. o-o

What I can't figure out is how in the world they get small print, how in the world Ramone paints himself, how intricate tools get manufactured at all..

I think it comes back to that caste system theory again... the lifts are the ones who seem to do most of the dexterity-intensive tasks
