Discuss the Truck and the before and after cars.

I missed her truck in Breaking Dawn
Who else thinks it was very, very convenient for the truck to die right after she agrees to marry Edward?
Wonder what Edward (or Rosalie) did to it to kill it?

The "before" car was of course quite hilarious. I was rolling when I read how indestructible the car was, and that Edward had let Bella drive it while she was still human. How funny!

The "after" car was nice. But expected. She DID become a Cullen, and Ferrari's fit the Cullens well (:
It would have been nice for her after car to be something special, like her truck, only restored and faster.

Ok first things first.... I love cars, some more then others and I'm really into imports, so knowing what some of the cars looked like was awesome!!.... haha, but this isn't about me now is it?!

I totally think that Rosalie did it. I don't no why but I think she did. I suppose that Edward could have done it too, but I think Rosalie did it.
I like bella's truck and even though it was old and didn't go very fast I thought it was pretty cool!

I also think that I would love to have a Mercedes Guardian! Just to test drive it would be cool!!... and I thought that Bella having a car like that was pretty funny. Her so use to her slow truck then going to a car that has 500 and some horse power.... I wish I had a car like that! But it was.... cute.... A car that can protect Bella no matter what!

... The after car was ok I guess.... I'm not really into Ferrari's all that much... But it had Cullen written all over it!!

I will ALWAYS love Bella's red chevy. It's practically a character.

The after car wasn't my thing and neither was the ferrari. Like Bella I'm not one for too much of a flashy car.
But they're gorgeous to look at

Agreed. Haha i can totally see Rosalie sneaking to the front of Bella's house with a huge wrench in hand... XD man beyond a shadow of a doubt i think Rosalie killed it haha. And the fact that Bella had a stinkin' tank for a "before car"- pure awesomeness. Haha leave it to Edward to keep Bella protected no matter what. *sigh* just too awesome

I think that Alice predicted it would break, and then told Edward. Edward made the deal, knowing it would break.

You make a good point. And then once he knew the car would break, He went out and bought this whole over-protective car. hehe.

That sounds like a good theory.

I liked Bella's truck, I thought it suited her when she first moved in to Forks. I kind of snickered when I read that her truck "conveniently" died after the car deal. The Mercedes Guardian made me laugh when I found out how indestructable it was. Great choice for the "before" car. I really wish there was more info on the Ferrari... Very Cullen-ish.

I totally would bet on Edward killing Bella's truck, he probably had the Mercedes Gaurdian scheme in his head long before the deal was even made...it's so endearingly Edward. I think that even though Bella was kind of indifferent towards her ferrari it will eventually grow on her. She's so natural at the whole vampire thing she will eventually give in to the need for speed.

I was really upset when i read about Bella 1953 Chevy Truck (may it rest in peace) I think i almost cried! I loved it so much! And i miss it. Tears

The Mercedes Guardian was funny i can totally see Edward picking it out.

I really didn't like the Ferrari so wasn't Bella to me. too flashy. but i guess to run with the cullens you must have a flashy car.

RIP 1953 Chevy Truck

You will be missed.
