Heroes need to be able to get to where the action is. And when they have to get from point "A" to point "B", no ordinary vehicle will do. The Hero's ride has to be just as unique and awesome as he/she is, namely, a Cool Car. It looks cool, it goes fast, it might be modified to go even faster, it may even be bulletproof and contain an assortment of weapons and gadgets. A really Cool Car can Fly. Of course, the villain messing with the heroes ride is always a sign that he means business. Contrast The Alleged Car -- but compare What a Piece of Junk!. Examples of Cool Car include:

Most Cool Cars, even ones that have no inherent super abilities, will be curiously immune to breakdown, physical damage or a realistic fuel range. No matter what manner in which the hero drives, as long as he's determined to stay on the straight and narrow and fight for the forces of good, his car shows an Empathic Weapon's ability to never get scratched, dented or even dirty. It may also be able to outperform similar or even superior vehicles simply by virtue of having the hero behind the wheel. Driving one also seems to ensure you'll have Rock Star Parking privileges. If you're really lucky, you'll have a Cool Garage to park it in. Of course, the villain messing with the heroes ride is always a sign that he means business. Sometimes, the car is cool enough that it actually can become a protagonist in the series -- e.g. KITT in Knight Rider and the General Lee in The Dukes of Hazzard are arguably the main protagonists of their respective shows and are as iconic to the audience as the human stars. When a car literally becomes a character, see Sentient Vehicle. For a living creature that serves as both a vehicle and a character, see Sapient Steed.
