It's been shown in the RPs that a small child car, somewhere around 5, can jump up and down. Their bodies are very lightweight because they haven't acquired the weight of an adult yet.
So a 5-year-old child car can play Hopscotch, I would think.

There could also be a game of balance. For some reason I imagine dance to be raising tires and moving around gracefully. Thus DDR would be more of the ability to raise tires quickly and balance that way on three, two or even one tire. And a use of corner arrows for better movement and dexterity.

From the way it's depicted in the videogame, I don't think a demolition derby is exactly like our version; it's not intended to disable the other cars or seriously injure them. As a sport, it appears to be a rougher style of dirt/mud racing where the contestants smash through barrels and obstacles, fly over big jumps and cross the dips in the track. It'd be best suited for cars who aren't too concerned about their appearance and don't mind getting banged up...like Mater, LOL.
And Pooky, your last post reminded me that both our cats suddenly took to sleeping on or near my stomach when I was pregnant with Larry, our first child. They don't do that anymore, but I think they could either smell the pregnancy hormones or had some other clue, as I hadn't even grown much yet when they started doing that.

Iceland football? Gah! I think I was talking on IRC with one about Mighty Ducks 2 when that was, since that movie contains Icelandic hockey team (which speaks russian or gibberish). I am pretty sure I meant football on ice. As for paris, I dont know what it is called in English. I just hoped it would be the same name. Kids usually draw with chalk on the sidewalks some squares which then they hop on. The usual shape is of a cross. Somewhat like this: X XX X X X Hopscotch?.....that would be an odd game for a car to play O.o I thought of another sport..... strong man contests.... I could imagine some big vans and trucks lifting ( or dragging) weights around. And I also wonder how a demolition derby would go down.... gladiatorial battles? (((((.....do horses pee to mark their territory? and what animal urinates on another one? ( I'm refering to when Doc peedled on the other hornet in your fic)))) well stallions do mark their mares poo i think..XD to show other studs that these are his mares.. and alot of animals do pee on others(like some birds pee on themselves to keep cool..yeah sick XD) and in some animals..when the female is in heat..she'll pee on the males nose...it's a way for him to tell if she's in heat or not.. and some animals mix mud and pee to roll in it.. and even humans(not alot) do it as part of a kinky..sex act..really strange XD but i'm very much into animals..never been close to people..i've seen alot of these acts in real life..and read alot of books.. oh about doc peeing on lucky? oh..he only did that because he was really mad..and felt like being an *insert bad word here* XD aww that's cute rollerwings!! they probably did..animals can sense how you feel and what you eat by your bodily fluids(urine, sweat) most likely they knew you were pregnant..as you said..they can probably smell it...we give off alot of smells for certain things..but we can't tell since our sense of smell is not our strong points..not like sight..

I just thought...wouldn't drifting be the equivalent of breakdancing in the Cars world? Both are fast, challenging arts that can end painfully if you mess up in the wrong place.
Also, just as breakdancing is associated with teenagers and "street culture" in our world, drifting would be performed by adolescents and tuners in the Cars world.
Just an idea.

i'd say more like inline skating or some equivalent of ice-skating. infacvt, the ice-skating one - if you remove the difference of ice... is very similar... there's both artistic and speed styles f both (figure skating and... just showing off sort of drifting and speed-skating and drift-racing). I supect many cars sports'd also possibly not be linkable to human sports or games also.
actually, some sort of pit-stop contests'd be good. for guido mainly.

What about Football? Could they play football?

Seeing as they have no way to successfully throw/catch balls, I'd say no.

Top gear allready did car football actually. and ice hockey. i spose a US Football/Rugby game'd be similar to car football, but with full contact allowed.
another that could work'd be Sumo. think about it; it'd translate so easily. and Tug Of War'd probably be bigger in Carverse.
and also dont forget that just different types of autosport'd be just vastly more mainstream there. like hillclimbs (of the dirt or road variety), rally cross, propper rallying. and probably/possibly other locations for Dakar type rallies... big a to b however you can events for 4x4s. forests, mountains... the north pole possibly. I know Hiluxes can get there.
something like the gumball events'd possibly be sort of like marathons.
hmm. some tennis variant'd work if Carsverse cars can open their doors/boots/bonnets. though not so much if they can't possibly... baring the obvious tennis racquet ariel attatchment. if that'd be the case, I'd want goggles. can you imagine how much it'd hurt getting a tennis ball in your eye?

Well, you know in the movie, the tires kinda bend back and fourth. I think it could just barely run and throw, ect.

For American Football, I'd figure that they might have an antenna attachment or something that lets them grab, hold, and throw balls more easily. And Tug Of War with cars exists in the real world...it's somewhat common for 4x4 drivers, actually: youtube.com/watch?v=w9RYmvdG2rM&mode=related&search=v8%20v6

The commercial with the VW Toureg pulling the Jumbo Jet comes to mind.
Which is basically a Cars-world representation of one of those Strongman competitions.

if that'd be the case, I'd want goggles. can you imagine how much it'd hurt getting a tennis ball in your eye? Yeah, but the windscreen protects their eyes, doesn't it? That's what I think. Because you'd squint just driving down the road and they don't. Oh, and I'm sorry, but that whole thing about cars having organs and stuff is kinda weird. I think that they have the same parts as normal cars, and I take the opposite approach, believing that nothing about them is "natural" in our sense of the word. They're silicon-based organisms.
