    This is like wrapping a whole argument about why there are sidewalks in the Cars movies where there aren’t any actual people. Why would there be sidewalks? Or are there car manufacturers operated by car characters cloning more of themselves off the assembly line as a means of reproduction?

    That’s trying to cram reality into a fictional world. It’s not going to work. The whole point of this fantasy is that it is the way it is.

      Oh man, Cars has a ton of unintended implications.

      The Pope and Popemobile suggests that there is a Cartholic church and that there was an assassination attempt on the Pope at some point. This also implies that there was some kind of Jesusmobile that is worshipped by the church.

      They show cars removing their tires to get through airport security which implies that there was a 9/11 style terrorist attack at some point. But that also raises the question of whether a plane intentionally crashed into the world trade center or if a car terrorist somehow took control of an innocent plane. That also implies there is a Car version of Islam.

      The presence of Car Islam and Car Christianity would also imply that Car Judaism is a thing.

      A character in the Planes movie mentions the rest of his squadron died in a battle against the Germans in World War II, which implies they also had two world wars, that there was a Car Hitler preaching about a Volkswagen master race, and possibly even a Holocaust against some make or model of car, or possibly Car Jews from the prior point.

      The list goes on and on!
