!!What do these vehichles run on, again?


Added DiffLines:

**An explanation is that their ''engines'' need oil and gasoline to run, while the more "organic" (?) parts of their insides needs food. How would any of that work? Let's go with that ''Cars'' and ''Planes'' take place on some alien planet.
!!Ancient planes?

** Unlikely, given that most modern warbirds have their guns removed and the gunports filled in and smoothed over, for hopefully obvious reasons. Given Skipper's wartime experiences, I don't think he'd be too attached to them. Besides, if he wanted to use them, he'd still need ammo, and it would raise a few eyebrows to see military grade munitions being delivered to a nearby hangar.
