Automobiles

Automobiles are mechanical vehicles that rely on gas to move around, and a person to drive the vehicle.
They include cars and buses used mostly by Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Vinyl Scratch and Sid Megabus.
== Role in the Series ==
Typically, a purple car (or several purple cars) was used by the characters in the Parody Series.
=== History ===
In "Letter to Celestia", Rarity and Pinkie Pie ram their cars at Twilight Sparkle and Spike, as they boast about their driving licenses. In the flashback to the injured Twilight at a hospital in "Hospital Visit", Rarity uses a car to run over Brad for asking cake.
In "Dating", Rarity also has a Porsche car.
In "Prologue" (non-canon), the purple car used in Parody Series was shown to be Twilight Sparkle's Twinkling Balloon transformed by a tornado.
In "Day of the Flutter", Pinkie Pie uses a car to rescue the three Fluttershys from Twilight Sparkle's collapsing mind.
In "A Real Spooky Day (PART 1)", Vinyl Scratch uses a specialized blue and white car to play Dubstep music and defeat the Grim Reaper.
In "The Rise of Sid Megabus", Sid Megabus was once the mascot of a bus company, Megabus, until his customers' treatment of him made him so angry, that he wanted to force everyone to obey him. He also summoned several buses to crush Vinyl Scratch, but she dodged and sliced them with her sword.
== Trivia ==
* The Transformers toy brand, another franchise created by Hasbro and the Japanese company Tomy, involves robotic aliens that can turn into vehicles and back again. The heroic Autobots usually transform into civilian vehicles, while the villainous Decepticons take the form of military vehicles and aircraft.
* In the Equestria of the original show, the Equestrians do not use automobiles, but they either use carts, chariots, and carriages (which are like rickshaws, in that certain ponies pull them to transport other ponies). Nonetheless, they have other types of vehicles, such as trains (like the colorful Friendship Express), a helicopter, hot air balloons (such as Twilight Sparkle's Twinkling Balloon), and airships.
* In Equestria Girls, automobiles are used by the humans of the alternate Equestria, to reflect its almost-realistic, Americanized high school theme.
