Twilight Cars - If You Lived Forever, What Would You Drive?
Ranked #762 in Cars, #43,843 overall
Edward's Shiny Silver Volvo & More!
You'd better put your seatbelt on because these vampires like to drive fast! It's true that the Cullen's try to 'blend in' to the small town of Forks, Washington, but when it comes to their cars, it's hard to hide their need for speed.
In Twilight, the modern day love story of forbidden love with a fairy tale ending, Edward Cullen is the knight in shining armor, so to speak. Every handsome prince (bloodthirsty vampire hero) needs a trusty steed (shiny silver Volvo) to rescue the damsel in distress (fragile little human). Ahh, the infamous shiny silver Volvo. *sigh* Don't get me wrong, I'm not usually a "car person". Like Bella, I don't know a M3 from any other flashy convertible in the lot, but I have to admit that my heart skips a beat for that shiny silver Volvo when it skids in for the rescue in Port Angeles.
This is a tribute to the fast cars in the Twilight movies and books... Edward's Volvo C30, his "special occasion car", the Aston Martin Vanquish, Bella's "after car", the red Ferrari, the fictional Guardian, Alice's Yellow Porsche, Emmett's Jeep, Rosalie's red convertible and Carlisle's Mercedes. Plus, Bella's old Chevy pickup truck gets an honorable mention in spite of it's rust and intolerably slow speed.

Bella's Pickup Truck
In the book, Bella drives a red 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck, in the movie, it's a 1963 Chevy C-10.
The truck was a welcoming gift from Charlie, Bella's dad, when she moved to Forks to live with him. He bought the truck from longtime family friend, Billy Black. Bella immediately loved it! (When you're an extremely uncoordinated human you need a car that has a nice strong build and feels safe.)
"I could walk home faster than this truck moves."

The Guardian
Based on the Mercedes Benz S600 Guard
The virtually indestructible Guardian was a gift to Bella from Edward in hopes that it would keep her safe after her truck mysteriously died, probably of unnatural causes since Edward was anxious to see it go. She drives the Guardian in the beginning of Breaking Dawn, but is completely unaware of what the car is capable of protecting her from until a couple of enthusiastic tourists start drooling over it while she is pumping gas. Imagine her embarrassment when she realizes that the joke is on her. Edward actually thought she needed a tank-resistant car to keep her safe?!

How Do Small Town Vampires Afford Nice Cars?
In Twilight, the Cullen's like to indulge in high performance, luxury cars that obviously set them apart from the other residents of the small town of Forks, Washington. Being vampires, they usually try to fit it rather than draw attention to themselves, but driving a fast car is an exception to the rule. Money means nothing to Edward Cullen and his family. When you never sleep, money just seems to accumulate over the years and Edward's sister, Alice has a gift that allows her to see the future which makes it easy to predict trends in the stock market.
Alice's Yellow Porsche
Porsche 911 Turbo
In New Moon, Alice and Bella steal the yellow Porsche from the airport in Italy as they race to save Edward in time. Alice loves the car so much that Edward eventually buys one for her.

- The Guardian. Definitely. It may be bulletproof but it sounds pretty sweet anyway.
My security word agrees...it says zoomworm. Is that contradiction in terms?
