TMNT & Motor Vehicles

*Guitar_Raph* · 01-10-2009, 02:19 PM

The idea of this thread was off TMNT & Money.

We've seen our super reptiles drive such cool vehicles (Don and the van, Mikey in the jeep or Raph and his many motorcycles, etc.).

But how did they get their New York state driver's license to ride those wheels?

Do you honestly think they have a driver's license?

... wait, nevermind, you quite probably do. After all, it's impossible to be able to drive without a driver's license. You just can't do it. Impossible!

Not if your dad, teached you about it when you was a teenager.
Well Splinter maybe teached them, after all he teached them all.

I'm not sure who taught the Turtles to drive, maybe movies and video games, but even Mikey says that Donnie drives well, "for a Turtle with no driver's license."

They don't have liscenses. It's just another piece of the Turtles' extensive criminal record.

And when taken out of its toy-selling context, the idea of ninja mutants who are supposed to hide from society rolling around in gigantic green vans is too absurd even for this series.

That brings me to another thing.
Do we actually know where the turtles van is hidden?
I'm no expert in the show but on top of my head i can't remember of anything liked that.

I assumed it was hidden in the sewers somewhere.

I thought I remembered an episode where they drove it out of the sewers. There was some sort of large grating somewhere that it would come out of. Or maybe I just imagined that now.

Well in the old toon in the epic begins to get to there blimp thing they enter through a telephone booth (that works like a elevator) maybe it is hidden in the same building (Stockman's warehouse?).The neutrino car was in one episode in the sewers(Where mike needs money and becomes a pizza boy to get money). New toon i will say at the at the corner of eastman and laird in the building at the corner.

I think your thinking of the TNMT next mutation , it is some garage. Maybe at the corner of Eastman and Laird. But most episodes of the turtles start showing a maybe possible exit for the turtle van.

I remember in the episode "A Thing about Rats" when Michaelangelo is getting ready to drive the Turtle Van and Raphael verbally asks, "Michaelangelo, do you even know how to drive?"

He replies, "No, I can't--Cowabunga!"

So they didn't attend driving school, just learned from watching television perhaps.
