In universes where ALL transportation is cooler and different from what we have today, only [[AceCustom personalized vehicles]] fall under any of the Cool Transportation tropes. In ''StarWars'' for example, the ''Millennium Falcon'' and the ''Slave 1'' might qualify, but the average X-Wing (or even Star Destroyer) would not.

You, the protagonist, are ''here''. It doesn't matter where ''here'' is; everybody has to be somewhere. But you've got a problem: for some reason, you need to get all the way to ''there''. ''There'' may be far away, you may not know exactly where it is, and both the journey and the destination may be exotic and dangerous. You may need to get ''there'' in a hurry, you definitely need to get ''there'' in one piece, and when you arrive ''there'' it might be nice if you were well-equipped to kick ass and ChewBubblegum. Public transit just isn't going to cut it.

What's more, it will go well beyond being merely "transportation". It will be a tool, a weapon, a base, a home- maybe even a friend. These methods of travel often become iconic of their fictions, more so than any of the individual characters. They may even be titular.
