Has anyone considered that John Winchester's truck was abandoned in Lincoln after the events of 1x21? I mean, sure John was kidnapped by demons and then died, and sure, the tires were slashed, but as far as I'm aware the boys never picked it up, at least not in any canon I've seen. There's no mention of it anywhere I see between John finding the slashed tires in 1x21 through his funeral in 2x2.
For two people trying to pick up John's trail of the YED, that seems like a major oversight. (On the other hand they seem to have his notes to give to Ash, so maybe they did pick it up at one point off-screen.)
That said, considering John was worried when the Impala was impounded he didn't want some junkman finding the arsenal in the truck, wouldn't he be somewhat concerned about the truck's arsenal too? This is not a subtle truck that blends in, and even if it was, it'll eventually draw attention if it's abandoned long enough.
I just have this vision the Lincoln chop shop employee/junkman/police officer who found this vehicle in utter bafflement of the amount of weapons and occult items stored in this abandoned truck. And any employee at the site who found the truck treating it like their own urban legend/mystery who could have possibly owned that truck and why it was abandoned with slashed tires, never to return.

I have so many spncarfucking comic ideas, it's a blessing and a curse. It's so hilariously easy for one (me) to take spn's original dialogue and scenes and twist it to spncarfucking in one's (my) head, but the real hardship is then one (me) would have to make them. A spncarfucker creator's eternal struggle. One day tho, they will be made.
Early Season Examples: 1x19- Dean trying to convince Sam to fuck a car so he wouldn't be so grumpy and repressed all the time.
1x20- Instead of John criticizing Dean over the non-existent rust on the wheels, it's for not cleaning out her tail pipe properly after use.
1x20- Instead of Sam and John fighting not over walking away from hunting, it's about John not treating the impala right and abandoning her for a younger taller truck.
2x01- John giving Sam a grocery list of things to get so John can carfuck the impala one last time before making the demon deal. Azazel calls him out on it.
4x01- Sam calmly tells Dean that he wasn't douching up the impala with the ipod jack but trying to keep her happy with toys since Dean was gone and couldn't satisfy her.
4x03- Dean discovers Mary and her parents also fucked cars and Mary talked John into trying it for the first time with a VW van, but Dean talks him into the Impala.
4x09- Sam telling Dean about the car roleplay him and Ruby did
4x14- Sam and Dean fighting over the siren, carfucking, and letting Ruby ride shotgun in the impala while Dean was dead.
4x17- Sam's confession towards the end of the ep about his dreams, but the dreams are more about watching his brother carfuck Baby more than the hunting monsters.
4x17- Zach undo's his whammy on Dean. Dean gets pissed that Zach indirectly caused him to cheat on Baby with a Prius.
5x04- Dean pissed at future!Dean for leaving Baby in ruins and not knowing who they are anymore.
5x08- Impala!Sam.
I've got so much more, but like this is long enough. But, one day I'll get to all of them. One day.

SPN Vehicle meta is always welcome
Please tag me if you run across any!
Season 6 truck of the family man
I’m moderately obsessed with Dean driving a "Cas truck" when he lives with Lisa and Ben
The silver or tan truck seems to be the mark of family protector
Which is why John’s truckzilla is fascinating in its own right; it's a funhouse mirror of what a family protector should be
Sam's little blue cars:
Also, I just know in my heart that the season 14 2019 Ford blue fiesta is Sam’s, even though Cas drives it when he is visiting Sergei on behalf of Sam's wishes to save Jack:

Consider these lines from vintage SPN 4x21:
#spn + vehicles#tfw + cars#sam + little blue cars#john + truckzilla#dean + truck of the protector#cas + truck of the protector#season 14 2018 blue ford fiesta

◘Eyecon '08 Jared's Entrance by jibbles21◘
(0:00 J) -introduction
Kenny Smith: Oh my god! It’s- (turns) it’s- it’s- Oh, me. Thank you. (gestures to audience member) So, sweet. Really.
(to audience) Okay, you guys. You know the drill. We got the man. I need all of you- I swear, he could just start a cult right now, because (audience laughs) he could just make all of you do horrible, horrible things. (audience laughs) It’s okay.
You know the drill ladies. You got people behind you. They need to be able to see. Take your picture, move along. Let’s create a system. You guys are already pros at this (audience giggles) and we love you for it.
Are you ready, ladies? (audience screams and claps.) I can’t hear you. (audience screams harder and claps)
(shakes head) He (?serves us?). (holds up clip board and leans over) Stop it. (audience laughs) What the hell am I thinking?!
◘Jared 1 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘
Audience member: We love you Kenny!
Smith: He stars as Sam Winchester! (audience screams and claps) He’s Supernatural! And he really is a hellva nice guy. (audience laughs) ..Please give it up.. for none other, Jared Padalecki, the man! (audience screams, claps, and cheers)
One of the double doors opens and Jared walks into the convention ballroom, clapping and waving to the crowd. Jared walks on stage and is greeted with Smith kneeling to him with the mic held out towards him. Jared awkwardly kneels to accept the mic. Then they both stand straight up.
Jared: (off mic) I’ve never been- (on mic) I’ve never been knighted before like that. (Smith throws his hands up)
Smith: (to audience) (off mic) It’s what I do. (turns and leaves the stage)

Audience member: Yesss.
Jared: Is it?
Audience member: Yess.
◘Jared's Panel @ Eye Con 1 by MrsSammyWinchester◘
Jared: (to audience) I totally made that up. I didn’t know that was that coffee. (audience laughs) People are like, (mimics frantically gossiping to someone beside him) “He’s a huge Starbucks fan.” (audience laughs) (laughs) “He knows what they’re drinking by seeing it.” (audience laughs)
Um, (points out into the crowd) you’re having a latte. (looks to the other side) And you’re having a, uh.. (wiggles head) triple, quadruple.. expresso. (audience chuckles) (nods) That’d be a lot of expresso, huh. (audience chuckles)

◘Jared Padalecki - Eyecon 1/2 by Ifrodo99◘
Audience member: Au-stri-a!
Jared: I know. I know. I had to do “Dumb and Dumber”. Have y’all seen “Dumb and Dumber,” when at the very beginning (Audience member: Reno!) he’s going, “G’day mate.”?
Audience member: Reno!
Jared: Reno! (nods) Nice. (gestures to AM) (Audience member: Florida!) It’s such a shorter trip to Vegas. I would’ve- I would’ve been like, (mimics weighing on his hands) “Jared. Vegas. Jared-” (waves and then mimics leaving) “I’m going to Vegas, you know.” (audience laughs and no’s)
Audience member: (?Going to? or ?Living in?) Vegas sucks!
Jared: Yeah. (nods) Yeah. That’s true. Um, you always walk away poor and fatter. (Audience member: Yeah!) (audience giggles) At least, I do, so. It kind of sucks for me.
How are y’all guys? Good? Where did y’all come from? Here?

•(1:53 F, 1:35 MSW, 0:51 I, 0:20 RM)- EyeA08JP;T3- Samantha Ferris’ voice; Cough drops
Have y’all heard Samantha today? (Audience member: No!) She sounds like this, (raspy horse voice) “Hey, Jared. Ur-rah-rah-uh.” (audience laughs) I was like, “What did they do to you? Should I be nervous?” (adjusts his hat) (audience laughs) “Um, should I protect myself with some cough drops?”
But, Yeah. (nods) Apparently, she had a great time.
Audience member: Yes!
Audience member: Yes!
Jared: Yes?
Audience member: Yes!

Audience member: They have some for you.
Jared: They do?
Audience member: Yeah.
Audience member: Yes, she said.
Jared: Halls, eucalyptus? (audience laugh)
Audience member: It’s generic.
Jared: (flips up a hand and shakes his head) It was- It was my only guess. (audience laughs) I was so good with the.. (gestures towards crowd) Mocha Frappuccino earlier. I’m kind of pushing my luck now. (audience laughs) I’m just, like, uhhm, guessing out a lot of stuff.
•(2:31 F, 2:13 MSW, 1:29 I, 0:57 RM, 0:19 T)- EyeA08JP;T4- Matrix Flipbook
I see a lot of cameras. (stares wide eyed scanning the room) (audience laughs)
◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 0:23-0:47
Audience member: There’s humans behind them really.
Jared: We should try and get everybody together and do one of those Matrix style things where you just flip through the pages. (gets up) I’ll move really slowly. Everybody take a lot of pictures.
Jared slowly shifts his weight onto one leg and raises the other up, balancing with one arm out. The audience laughs and cheers. Jared tries to rotate his body but starts losing his balance. He stands straight up. The audience claps.
◘Jared @ Eyecon - prank by miss_lizzie◘
Jared: Okay, now if we can get everybody to.. print out one little screenshot of that, we’ll make a flipbook. (audience laughs) That would be great. (sits back down)
Does anybody have any questions? I-I feel like I’m.. useless up here, unless I- I can serve some purpose.
(points into the crowd) You’re closest.
•(3:04 F, 2:47 MSW, 2:02 I, 1:32 RM, 0:53 T, 0:20 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q1- Pranks; Jared tricks on Jensen
Fan: (off mic) Like- Okay, I’ve always heard about tricks Jensen’s got on you. What are some that you got on him?
◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 0:49-1:53
Jared: (crosses legs) That’s interesting. Um, Jensen has a lot more time to plan. (audience giggles) (smacks lips) He’s a sneaky ole bugger. (audience laughs) But, um, uh, let’s think. I’ve done.. I’ve done my fair share of things to him.
◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 1 by sarahmonious◘
Uhh, I-I tell the, uh, wardrobe lady sometimes to sew up (laughs) the underside of his pants. (audience laughs) And so, (stands up and mimics Jensen) he’s putting his pants on going, (mimics struggling to put his leg through the pants leg) “Why can’t I?” And so, I hear back later- I- Usually because our trailers are always next to each other. I hear, “Jared!” (audience laughs) “Dammit!” And so.. you know, I know I got him.
But, I usually use the help of people. But, I learned early on, also, that, um.. as the only two actors.. on.. the, uh, set normally, unless we have, obviously, one of our reoccurring guest stars or one of our, um, (throws up a hand) temporary guest stars, that we need to team up a lot more than we need to.. work against each other.
With people like Kim Manners, who have been around fer.. a few more years in the business than we have, um, we’re more on the same team now than, um.. against each other. So now, we’re working to plan.. stuff against Kim Manners, specifically. (audience laughs) So.
(points in the crowd) I-I saw a hand in the back earlier… (shakes his head and points again) I’ll go with you.
Fan: (off mic) Me?
Jared: That’s right. (fan laughs)
•(4:23 F, 4:04 MSW, 3:21 I, 2:50 RM, 1:38 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q2a- Fan Appreciation; Sam Portrayal; (cw: family death)
Fan: (off mic) Okay. Hi. (Jared: [off mic] Hi.) Um, I don’t really have a question, just have something I want to tell you.
Jared: (off mic) Alright. (fan giggles) (on mic) Easier for me. (laughs) (audience laughs)
Fan: (off mic)Yeah. (laughs) Um, I wanted to thank you very much for playing Sam because Sam’s helped me through a lot of issues in my life. (Jared nods) I lost my husband six years ago and Sam.. eh-With his loss with death has really helped me and my life. (audience aw’s)
And (huffs a laugh) on top of that w-with Supernatural, I have met some really incredible people online. (Jared: [off mic] [nods] Right.) And we have a little group called the “Supernatural Geek Team.” (laughs) (audience giggles. Jared smiles) And there’s four members here today. (Jared: [off mic] Nice.) The fifth one is not here.
•(4:54 F, 4:36 MSW, 3:52 I, 3:21 RM, 2:10 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q2b- Fan Gift; Supernatural Geek Team t-shirts
So, um, we have actually made t-shirts for you and Jensen, to be honorary Geek Team members. (audience chuckles)
Can I bring it up to you or?
Jared: I’ll take it. (Fan: Okay.) Please. (audience woos and claps)
The fan makes their way across their row and down the aisle, up to the stage holding two t-shirts, a red one and a blue one.
◘Eyecon Jared Padalecki Part3 by tinkabell007◘
Jared: And thank you so much for your.. very kind words also. I mean, we always say this, but we mean it when we say it, (stands up) like y’all really are the reason for the show and.. you know there’s a lot of work out there. (steps down from the stage to meet the fan) And.. that’s why we’re excited to be doing this.
Jared says thank you off mic and gives the fan a hug. The audience aw’s, claps, and cheers. The have an exchange off mic where Jared nods a lot.
Fan: (off mic) (?This red one’s for Jensen. You get the blue one?). (giggles)
Jared: (off mic) Alright. (turns and looks at the blue shirt) I hope I get to be sergeant also. (audience laughs) (nods) Okay, good. (steps back up on stage and then turns back to the fan) As long as it wasn’t gonna- it’ll just- eh-eh- I hope- What’s- I’m sorry?
Fan: (off mic) It’s (?)
Jared: Oh, right on! Cool. (sits back down)
Fan: (off mic) (?)
While Jared is about to sit back down the fan turns and show him what’s on the back the shirt.
Jared: (laughs) Nice. Sammy’s girl. (sits down and nods) (audience screams) That’s right. (audience cheers and claps) Thank you. (nods) That’s right. Sammy’s girl. Pay attention. (audience laughs)
Smith: (off stage) Jared, we have a microphone now.
Jared: Oh, we do have a microphone.
Smith: People- People raise their hands and we’ll send a microphone out to you.
Jared: Right on. (Smith: (?)) (to Smith)..I wanted to be the one with the mic. ‘Cause then I can just start talking into it and everybody kind of just has to listen. (Smith: (?Maybe?).) (audience giggles) Now I have to share the stage. (scrunches his face) (audience chuckles)
◘Jared at EyeCon 1 by Rachel◘
Where did it go?
Audience member: It’s right here.
Audience member: Over there.
•(6:12 F, 5:55 MSW, 5:11 I, 3:39 RM, 2:10 ML, 1:07 T, 0:05 R)- EyeA08JP;Q3- Fav monster killing method; 3x07; ACT FOUR, INT. FACTORY – MACHINE ROOM – CONTINUOUS; thoughts on Sterling K. Brown
Fan: Hi. (Jared: Hi.) I’m Rachel.
Jared: I’m Jared. (audience laughs)
Fan: Hi, Jared. I had no idea. It’s very nice to meet you.
Jared: (sits up) (falsetto) “Hi, Rachel.” (audience laughs)
Fan: Um.. So, in the last three seasons you guys killed a lot of nasties and you’ve used a lot of different methods. Of all the different weapons and techniques you’ve used- you- your characters have (Jared nods) used to kill a bad thing, or not kill them, just get rid of them, what’s your favorite to work with.. of all the weapons?
Jared: That I’ve ever worked with? Or to keep working with?
Fan: Either. Both! Let’s do both.
Jared: You know what? I love the sawed-off shotgun. (audience cheers) (nods) Yeah.
Fan: (chuckles) Better than the regular shotgun?
Jared: Yeah, (nods) you got to go- Yes, sawed-off is better than regular. But, (slaps knee) I was talking at breakfast, I had a great breakfast morning, and I was talking about- (throws up hand) Well, we were talking about the episode with Gordon where I did the barbed wire thing. (audience yeah’s and claps) Yeah.
◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 1:54-2:43
And though I was so- it was one of those hard things, because.. I love Sterling. He’s an awesome guy. He’s really talented. He’s really fun to be around. Um, and so I was like, “I don’t want him to die.” (audience laughs) But, I was like, “But, I get to kill him really cool, so.” (smiles) (audience laughs) “That’s alright.” And I started (mimics holding a razor wire) to get the little thing. And I’m like, “Okay, what do I do now?” You know?
Um, but that was kind of the most exciting. Also, because it’s sort of where we saw Sam, um, (nods) get to be badass- bad butt. (stares wide eyed around at the audience) (audience laughs) (snorts)
Audience member: You can say badass.
Jared: (shrugs with his hand) Okay. Okay. Well, I said it. But there’s a-
Hey, there.. Mocha Frappuccino.
•(7:39 F, 6:36 I, 6:05 RM, 2:10 ML, 2:33 T, 1:31 R)- EyeA08JP;Q4- What if; One day with no consequences
Fan: You-You have no idea how glad I am for this microphone. (audience and Jared laugh) Umm. (laughs)
Jared: Nice. (shakes his head) You better not steal my thunder, because I’ll come over there and-
Fan: Are you kidding? I screamed my voice last night. Yesterday I was, like, rejecting my whole life.
Jared: (laughs) Okay, good.
Fan: (laughs) So, um.. This isn’t my question. (Jared nods) This is my best friend’s question. (Jared: [off mic] Okay.)
If you could have one day- live one day without any consequences, what would you do? (audience oo’s)
Jared: What I’d do?
Fan: You can’t kill anyone.. because she says she’d be creeped out.
Jared: (shakes his head) I wouldn’t kill anyone in here. (Fan and audience laughs) (smiles)
Fan: But.. yeah, other than that, what would you do?
◘Jared @ Eyecon - one day, no consequences by miss_lizzie◘
Jared: Uh… without, uh, any consequences… (shakes head) Like, you’re not gonna die if you..
Fan: (off mic) Start electrocuting yourself? No. (laughs)
Jared: I think, I’d- Well, first off, I think my first reaction is I’d eat a lot. (audience laughs) Man, (shakes head) I’d find the best buffet or something. Especially, because I guess you’re not paying for it? (audience laughs) ‘Cause that’s no consequences, so. (audience laughs)
..I’m kind of getting interested in this day now. (smug look) (audience laughs) I’m gonna be in the airplane going home, going, (tilts head, looking up) “What else could I do?” (audience laughs) I’d probably have a lot of food. I’d probably have a lot of steak or something. (audience woo) (smiles)
◘Jared Padalecki - Eyecon 2/2 by Ifodo99◘
(points into the crowd) I see a li- a sweetie in the back, putting her hand on the stage. Could you yell up to me, because I don’t know where the microphone went?
Audience member: It’s here!
Audience member: Right here!
Audience member: Behind the pretty redhead. (audience member laughs. Jared makes a scrunched face)
Audience member: With the girl standing.
•(8:52 F, 7:52 I, 7:18 RM, 3:45 T, 2:46 R, 0:48 ML, 0:11 I)- EyeA08JP;Q5- Acting Challenge; Hardest SPN episode; 3x11
Fan: Um… Um, what was the hardest “Supernatural” episode that you ever did?
Jared: The hardest? That’s a great question. Um, for me the hardest “Supernatural” episode I ever did was actually the last one we shot before the strike, which aired, um, before.. “Jus In Bello.” But we actually shot “Mystery Spot,” at the very end.
◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 2:44-4:04
And it was where Dean dies a lot. (audience chuckles and agreement) And that was really hard for me, because, um, it-it was- I mean, it was very fun episode to shoot, uhm, (rotating motion gestured towards his mouth) with the talking over each other and everything like that.
But, to have to keep on.. getting in the mindset of somebody who’s watching your brother and best friend die- Because if you don’t find the truth.. in the character and you don’t find the truth in the moment, then there’s no use in you really acting it. You’re just being lazy.
So, I tried to really commit to it. But, it’s really hard. You’re like, you know what you’re gonna shoot and you’re like, “I don’t wanna shoot that. (short whine) I don’t wanna pretend he’s dying, ‘cause then I’m gonna get sad.” And you’re walking around all sad. (audience chuckles and aw’s)

But you know what? I- I always go back to the episode “Skin” where Sam and Dean fought. And it was a lot of fun. It was sort of.. the first time in the shooting of “Supernatural” that.. we.. did something so drastically different.
I mean, it was the seventh episode of the series so, um.. So, we were sort of doing the same thing. Huntin’- Hunting a monster and killing it, and then going home. Hunting a monster, killing it, going home. It was like, “You’re gonna fight your brother.” It was like, “Ooo.” I kind of like the, uh- I like the idea of it.
And, um.. I didn’t like that he won, (audience laughs) but I like that he then killed him.. after he won. Which, was kind of bizarre. But, it was a lot of fun to shoot (nods) that sequence.

I was tired of kind of being like, (bobs back and forth with a thick accent) “Dean, come save me.” (audience laughs) So, um- And it was a lot of fun tah- You know what’s funny? Is that one of the things I liked about “Born Under a Bad Sign” is it pitted the brothers against each other again.

Jared: Um.. I know from sort of.. I guess (squints and shrugs) from kind of experience, like I sort of dealt with this during the strike. ‘Cause, you know, we didn’t know if it was over or not. So, I sort of started missing things about the show, ‘cause we didn’t know if we were coming back.
And I missed the comradery. I missed the comradery that.. this show.. breeds. (gestures around) Like, even between.. us sitting here today. Um.. from the producers and the writers and the people who are making the show, to everybody who works in the cast and crew, to everybody who keeps this show going, there’s such a family aspect to it.
And I’ve worked on some great sh- Like, “Gilmore Girls”? I had a great time. I got along with everybody. I made buddies. I just ran into Milo a week ago, and it was like old times. But, um- But.. this (taps his knee) has been such a family. Like, (gestures to the crowd) I’ve seen so many faces.

..Okay, it was something like.. the- the line where I say- (gestures) Or we say, “And every morning when he wakes up he- (waves hand up) Okay enough!” He would.. do it too early.

So, I just had him read it.. again, again, again, again. And I started.. kind of doing it silently as he was doing it. And I was like, (shrugs) “Alright, let’s try it.” And so we gave it a shot.

“Uh, you don’t know everything.” “Yes, I do.” “Really?” “Yeah.” “..Sam Winchester wears make up.”
And then you’re like, (excited face) “We did it.” (audience laughs) And then you’re like, (rushes) “Oh yeah, Sam Winchester cries his way through sex.” (audience laughs) (blinks and jerks) “We did it again!” (audience laughs)
And so, you keep on getting excited that you’re doing it that you sort of think about how (pumps eyebrows) cool it was that (proud wiggle) you just talked at the same time. You’re like, “Yeah. We kick ass.” Kick butt. (grimaces) (audience laughs)
But, um, we ended up getting it on (laughs) camera. (flings hand up) So, I guess it worked. (laughs) Thanks.
•(6:43 A, 6:15 RM, 4:05 R, 3:52 T)- EyeA08JP;Q18- Acting preference; light hearted vs dark toned narrative; 3x08, 3x03, 1x17, 2x15
Fan: Hi. (Jared: Hey.) My name’s Kevin from the UK. (Jared: Nice.) Uh, we’re way, way behind in the, uh, airings. I think we had the Christmas episode about two or three weeks ago.
Jared: Okay.
Fan: That was quite lighthearted in terms of, well, the mutilations and evil Santas. But, (audience and Jared chuckles) lately there’s quite a dark undertone. Do you enjoy doin’ the light hearted stuff more, like when you had the luck char- when you had the unlucky charm where you lost your shoe down the drain? (audience chuckles) That sort of stuff. (Jared: [off mic] Yeah.) Do you enjoy that mainly? Is that break up the whole dark tone of the whole series a little bit?
Jared: You know what? I enjoy it. I’ve never- And I’m (shakes head and hand swipes) totally not fishing here. (hand swipes) I’ve never thought I was funny. I’ve never been like, (mimics confidence) “Yeah.. I can.. get up there and act funny,” you know? I’ve always really liked drama. Um.. and so, it’s been a fun opportunity- That’s why they don’t give me a lot of funny stuff. They’re like, “He’s not funny. (laughs) Don’t give him funny stuff.”
But, anyways, I also- Sam’s such a serious character or has been and it’s such a dark show that it’s hard to really work in comedy, uh, seamlessly. Uh, and we’ve had a few funny episodes. Like we had, uh, one, uh, (points) that- that is a funny one where.. the bad, uh, rabbits foot, and, you know, the “Hell Hounds” episode and the “Tall Tales” episode.
But, um, I have a lot of fun doing it. And I think it’s pleasant to break up the, uh.. to break up the dark. (shrugs) I mean, someone.. someone famous.. said, um, “If you make ‘em laugh, then you can make ‘em cry.” You know? And it’s just the idea that you need the yin and the yang. It can’t just be, you know, “Here we are.. only gonna be dark and scared. And I’m going to be only scared for an hour.”
Like, I think, the writers want to laugh and be scared and cry. The audience wants tah laugh and be scared and, (shrugs) you know, scream and throw things at the- (shakes head) you know. (audience chuckles) So, you-you want to have everything. And I think… I think adding humor actually helps.. accentuate the dark side of the show. (shrugs and nods)
Good question. Thanks, man.. And thanks for.. coming from the UK. I don’t know if you’ve been here for a while, but-
Fan: (off mic) (?I just came from Transylvania and moved to Fergus?). (audience laughs)
Jared: (smiles and nods) Nice. (pats knee) Nice.

Fan: Hi, I’m Jessica.
Jared: (smiles) Hi.
Fan: Um, I- some of the episodes really sscare us, like, jumping out and everything. Do any of the episodes scared you?
Jared: Yes. Um, a lot of times.. when I’m really heavy in the show, um, it’s hard to be scared because you remember shooting and everything and you’re like, (waves hand and rolls eyes) “Oh yeah, here comes the scare.” But.. the- the one I can remember most recently that really scared me was, uh, “The Kid’s Are Alright” with the little (gestures to mouth) suckling kids. (audience giggles) Um, and the whole reflection thing.
That always scares me, (shakes and swipes hand) where the camera’s coming around (mimics camera pan) and you’re like, “There’s gonna be somebody behind him,” (audience giggles) you know? And you’re just going, “Ew, I can’t wait.” But then it breaks back and then they’re (gestures) behind them on the other side. And you’re like, (scrunches up body) “I wasn’t ready for that! (thumbs behind) I wanted him to be over there with the camera.” (audience giggles)
But, that really scared me. And their faces and.. yeah. When you see them through the mirror and the glass, that was kind of.. spooky. So, yeah, they do scare me.
Most of the times.. w-when I watch the show I’m like... being self-critical or like, “Oh, I wish I would have done that. I wish I would’ve done this.” But that show was really, uh, like De- a Dean episode, you know what I mean? It was all about his backstory with the kid. I think I had two days off. Um, which is (shrugs) ..(shakes head) you know, more than I’ve ever had. (audience chuckles) So, uh- so, I got to watch the show as an audience member. And I remember It scared me.

Jared: Character, not actor or actress? (audience giggle) (sits back) Um.. which has been my favorite reoccurring character.. Uhm.. that’s a good question. I did love Henriksen. He was (swipes hand) a lot of fun to shoot with. He was a cool guy and he did a great job. And.. (piling up gesture) added a.. whole new adult element and aspect to the show.
◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A 4 by akmcreation◘
Um.. I always like the reoccurring.. (squints eyes) demons.. for some reason, because I feel like.. you know, usually if you’re writing demons that have to be killed off. But even from (counts on fingers) the demon that was Nicki Aycox in season one (audience claps and woo’s) (nods and gestures to the audience) that ended up becoming Sam. And season two for a little bit. (nods)
Yeah, because I think it started to give us an insight into what it is we’re going against. You know, we know ghosts are bad and wendigos are bad. And bugs are bad. (audience laughs) And so, you know- you know, kill those things.
But, um- But it’s really interesting trying to figure out- ‘cause I still like to watch it as an audience member whenever I can and trying to figure out what the writers are thinking. Like, I’m in the same boat as y’all guys. I’m going, “What are the writers doing? What are trying tah.. hint at in this episode that we’re going to see in three episodes and go ‘Ew, yeah. remember when this happened, blah, blah, blah?’?”
So, I like the reoccurring demons. (nods) ..And I guess (gestures to audience) Ruby’s been a really cool character because she’s- she’s revealed so much about.. Sam. And we’re going, “Wait a second, here’s this demon saying.. that, uh, that Sam was supposed to be the leader and, like, she’s trying tah get him to turn into.. (wobbles head) a demonoid?” (chuckles) (audience chuckles) Demoniod? Mandroid. Um, (audience laughs) (points into crowd) (a section cheers) (nods and laughs) Yes.
Um, so, I-I like the reoccurring demons. I think they tell us a lot about the show. (nods)

Audience member: One ear. (laughs)
Jared steps down from the stage and waits for two fans to meet him with the drawings. The audience, looking at the art as it passes them, voices their amazement with the two works of both Sadie and Harley. Two fans hand over the two pieces one at a time to Jared.

Jared: Oo. (audience oo’s)
Fan: Yeah.
Jared: (exhales) …Wow that’s a great, um, great, great, great question. I think.. mmost recently, um.. the classic film that I- I sort of watched, partially because I hadn’t seen it in a while and partially because.. I was working with him, was “Lawrence of Arabia” with Peter O’Toole.
And that- I watched it and it’s.. (shakes head) I mean, it’s a- a meal of a movie. It’s three- It’s two discs and three something hours, or four hours. And it’s never (hand swipe) boring and it’s (hand swipe) never slow. And I think his character.. L. Lawrence, you know, and- is- is.. so powerful and such a leader.
◘Jared at EyeCon 4 by Rachel◘
And it’s (sits up) exactly how Peter O’Toole is, by the way. He just walks in. He doesn’t.. (hand swipes) disrespect anybody, but he commands respect just the way he holds himself. And I think that’d be a lot of fun to shoot.
And then, my guest star would be, um, Jessica Biel. (audience chuckles) (shakes head) I’m just kidding. (waves hand) Totally kidding.
Umm. I have a lot of actors that I’d love to work with. Um, like, the Johnny Depps, obviously, and, um- (audience woos) Yeah. (nods) So, (flips hand up) I think if I could choose a guest star I’d- Johnny Depp. (audience woo) (nods) Mhm. Ow! (smiles) (audience claps and cheers)

Jared: The looks. (Blue Steel impression) (fan and audience laugh) (giggles)
Fan: I was gonna say besides being a smarty pants? (audience laughs. Jared looks down and claps his mic) But. (smacks lips and chuckles)
Jared: Probably the smart in past tense.
Fan: And what is the hardest to, um, tap into because it’s so unlike you?
Jared: (off mic) (nods) Okay, um.. (on mic) the easiest is theee… Huh. (audience chuckles) (pumps eyebrows) That’s a great question.
◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 6 by sarahmonious◘
I think the easiest is probably (squints) he’s analytical mind? Uhm, like I’m definitely a… I don’t want to say I’m a thinker, because that makes me sound like, “I’m intelligent.” (audience chuckles) But, I mean, I- I like to think things out. (weighing gesture) I like to try and see it from different aspects and it was easy for me to, uhm- to, uhh.. (gestures) kind of get into that aspect of Sam’s character.
You know, seeing it from this angle instead of that angle. Instead of just the first angle, trying to play.. devil’s advocate. Like, I’ll find myself arguing with Sandy sometimes and saying something that (squints and shrugs) I don’t even think is true, (shrugs) but I’m just saying it to see where it goes, you know? (audience giggles)
And so, I think Sam has a little bit of that. Sam’s like, (holds hand out) “Wait, Dean. Like, what about this?” You know? “What if the demon’s good?” Even if Sam thinks the demon is bad, or knows that the demon is bad, he’s saying let’s think it out first.
•(6:18 A, 1:55 R, 0:50 S)- EyeA08JP;Q24b- Acting Challenges; Hardest nuance of Sam’s personality; 3x14
And the hardest part.. has been, um… The hardest part has beenn.. his willingness to.. sacrifice himself.. (audience chuckles) for, uh- for, uh, tah hunt ghosts. I mean, it’s-it’s hard tah.. It’s hard to tap into that in reality, you know? It’s hard to go like, “Oh yeah, that’s kind of how- like, how I like tah, you know, chase spirits.” (audience laughs) “Um, I’ll just tap into that part.”
So, anything to do with the supernatural has been very.. It’s-It was tough at first to find the reality, because you’re going, (sits up with chest puffed up) “Watch out for the wendigo,” you know? And you want to say it like, (imposing hero pose) “Dun-dah-duun.” But, um, (audience laughs) you have to remember that it’s real and that you’re very scared, but you know what it is. And so his knowledge of ghosts sometimes.
There’s a- there’s a scene that we just shot.. and I’m saying- and the girls saying, you know, “It said ‘Come to me.’” And I’m going, “What words.. did he use?” And she says, “Come to me like a million times.” And then it hits Sam like, “Oh it’s this.” And I’m like, (shrugs and Texas draw) “I don’t know what it is.”
But Sam knows his dad’s journal back and forth about all these demons. So, that’s been the toughest part. (smiles)
Where is it now? I see so.. many hands.

And then I think, um- I think especially for the fans of “Supernatural” it’s great. It’s a great.. (expanding gesture) learning tool and (expanding gesture) exploring tool to explore this world. (shrugs and nods) So, I’m supportive. (nods and smiles) (audience claps and cheers) (pats mic)

(mimics the scarecrow running through the orchard) going the thing (some audience confusion) and (mimics shooting) Jensen shoots him. Really creepy, great, he’s-
Audience member: Dude, you’re fugly.
Jared: (nods) The fugly one. (audience laughs) That’s right. (nods) That’s right. He was that and he was also the bad Santa.
So, when they need a big guy.. (smug expression while straightening his collar) because my stunt double is pretty big. (audience laughs and cackles) Not me, but him. Uh, they- they use him a lot. And they’re obviously (nods) familiar with his work. And they know he does a great job. (nods)
I wish it would’ve been me. That would’ve been fun. (audience chuckles) That would’ve been a lot of fun. (nods)

◘Jared 7 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘
Jared: I think the answer’s obvious. I gotta go Lowe's. (audience laughs) (Fan: [off mic] (?Gotta go Lowe's?)!) I gotta go Lowe's. (audience claps) Actually, truthfully there’s a Lowe's closer to my place than Home Depot. (holds up hand) Not like I’d go to Home Depot anyways, but. (audience laughs) (laughs)
Yeah. Go Dobermans.
•(4:48 A, 2:20 T, 1:50 R, 0:20 RM)- EyeA08JP;Q31a- Fan Congrats; Jared and Sandy

•(5:12 A, 2:44 T, 2:13 R, 0:44 RM)- EyeA08JP;Q31c- Fan Appreciation; Dean Forester, Jared’s acting, Jared, Sandy, Jensen
Fan: But, um, we made that for you and my.. friend wanted to, you know, like I said, congratulate you and.. she’s actually is the one that got me into the.. whole.. (Jared nods) because I used to watch “Gilmore Girls” and I was- (Jared: [nods] Awesome.) I am a big Dean and Rory. And I was like-
Audience member: Dean!
Jared: (nods) Alright.
Fan: I was, like, upset with Rory when she (Jared nods) went with.. Milo, but, um.. (smack lips)
Jared: But, Milo’s a nice guy. But-
Fan: Yeah. (Jared nods) But, I wanted to say, you know, out of me and her (Jared nods) that (?we- we vote?) that you’re a very good actor. (smiles and nods) You inspire both of us. We love doing RPG’s. Um, but, we just wanna say thank you (Jared: Thank you.) for, you know, being you and.. (?her both?).

Jared: Good morning.

Fan: I was on the elevator with Sandy and she’s freezing cold. So, you might want to cover her after this. (audience chuckles)
Jared: I’ll hug her. I don’t know about Jensen, but I’ll hug Sandy. (audience laughs) (smiles)

Fan: Yeah. But, I got friends-
◘Jared at EyeCon 6 by Rachel◘
Jared: We do bite. (Fan: Yeah, (?good friends?)-) (audience laughs and catcalls) (leans back and forward laughing) Y’all are so easy. (bites air) (audience laughs) (shakes hand)
◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A 6 by akmcreation◘
Fan: One of ‘em wished you would bite her, but anyway. (audience mixed reaction)
Jared: (eyes wide then beckoning gesture) Bring her on up. (audience laughs) (shakes head) Just kidding.
•(4:27 T, 0:38 RM, 0:17 R, 0:13 A)- EyeA08JP;T7- Convenient missing friends
Fan: Um, they.. actually solicited questions for me to ask you? (nods and shrugs) And one of the really good ones that I liked was-
Jared: (to audience) I love how she- (hold hand up to fan) I love how she blames her friends first. (audience laughs) It’s gonna be like, “What size underwear do you wear? (hand swipe) For my friend, who couldn’t make it.” (audience laughs) (chuckles)
•(4:42 T, 0:52 RM, 0:32 R, 0:27 A)- EyeA08JP;Q32b- Facial Expressions; 2x20, 3x08; ACT ONE, INT. MOTEL ROOM – DAY; Peter O’Toole, Daniel Day-Lewis, Johnny Depp
Fan: I actually have (?how it told me was?) yesterday because my friend so, you know. I’ll ask any- Like, in “What is and What Should Never Be” you did what people refer to as the “Prissy Bitch Face” in the alternate universe.
Jared: (off mic) (eyebrows up, slowly leans back laughing) Prissy Bitch Face? (audience laughs)
Fan: Yeah.
Jared: (mouths Ow, grimaces, leans forward, and rubs jawline) Zinger right (mimics punching his jaw) across the (Fan: No!).. jaw there. (Fan: In-) I’m gonna go cry in the corner.
Fan: No! In the Christmas episode when you said, “Bad Santa” you made this really cool expression on your face. I just wondered do you.. know you’re doing those expressions (audience laughs) or do you do them on purpose?
Jared: I have no idea. (audience laughs)
Fan: I think that they’re- really they’re awesome when you do ‘em. I mean, (Jared: Thank you.) you do really good with your facial expressions.
Jared: (chuckles) I- Thank you.
Fan: Um, but, I- she just wanted me to ask you that.
Jared: Yeah. (shakes head) No, I never- I’ve never known. That’s- that’s the God’s honest truth. I-I- When I was working with, um- It’s such a name drop, but when I was working with Peter O’Toole, who’s obviously an amazing, amazing actor, arguably the greatest of all time, he was saying he’s never, ever, ever, ever in his life done a line to a mirror. He’s saying never.
And I.. thought it and I was like, “Let’s see, eight Oscar nominations and he doesn’t care what he looks like.” He says, uh, “It should just come out through you and you shouldn’t.. be worried about what you look like doing it, because it’ll come across.” So, I just sort of try and- I read things like that. Like, I read things Daniel Day-Lewis writes and, you know, Johnny Depp writes or actors, eh- “Inside the Actors Studio” and I try and.. be like them. (smug face) So, I can say I’m like them. (audience giggles) So, I’m a lot like Peter O’Toole. (shrugs) (audience laughs and claps)
(laughs) Thank you.
◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 2 by Laura M◘ 3:14-5:31
(looks around) Where did it go?
•(6:13 T, 2:24 RM, 2:03 R, 1:59 A, 3:14 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q33- Acting Challenges; Stunts; 3x03; Falling down vs set on fire; House of Wax
Fan: (stands up and waves) Hi.
Jared: (up pitch) Hi! (audience chuckles)
Fan: Um, in “Bad Day at Black Rock” what was harder, all the falling down or being set on fire? (audience laughs)
Jared: (to audience) We had breakfast together. She waited all this time to ask so she.. (yanks himself to adjusts his posture) embarrass me in front of y’all guys.
Um.. (nods) the set on fire is always.. (squints) odd when they tell you. When they tell you, “You’re gonna do a funt scene-“ a-a funt scene? “A stunt scene.” (scrunches face) Funt? What’s a funt? (audience laughs) Uh, when they tell you you’re gonna do a stunt scene, like, a falling stunt scene, you’re like, “Okay. You know, I’ll put knee pads on.. make sure I don’t.. bust my kneecap open or my elbow or something.”
But, then when they tell you, “Oh yeah, next episode we’re gonna set you on fire.” You’re like, (leans forward laughing and hand swipes) “So, what’s going on next episode?” “We’re going to set you on fire.” (hand swipes) “Hah-hah-hah-hah.” (audience laughs)
So, uhm, that was definitely (laughs) kind of weird. So, I’d say being set on fire was probably the most uncomfortable thing (hand wave) I had to do for the show period. (shrugs) Because it’s.. fire. (audience laughs) (flips up hand and shrugs) Very simple, it’s not like, (flatten gesture) “Let’s keep it contained. It’s fire.” (flips up hand) It’s like putting a bear on set and going, (holds up hand) “Let’s hope he’s okay.” (audience laughs)
And plus! (gestures to audience) I mean, I have bad experience with fire. I wasn’t there on set, but during “House of Wax,” um, an errant fire burnt the stage down. So, you can’t control fire. (hands out gesture) And if you can then, (beckon gesture) we need it on set. (audience laughs) Um, so, (nods) I-I’d say that.
Where did it go?
◘Eyecon - Jared Padalecki Part 9b by tinkabell007◘

Jared: (to AM) I’ll try not.
Fan: Or, um.. is it like-
Jared: (nods) It’s a retelling. It’s more of a, um… I read that it was like, the difference between a prequel and a sequel and a midquel? (audience chuckles) I guess, it’s a midquel. It’s a- It’s a retelling of the story. (shakes head) It’s not a remake, um, of the original. Um, it’s-it’s sort of a whole new telling.
It’s almost more, like, another “Friday the 13th” movie then it is a remake of “Friday the 13th”.
•(4:32 RM, 4:11 R, 4:07 A, 5:22 ML, 0:47 T)- EyeA08JP;Q34b- Friday the 13th; unique hype factor

Fan: Okay, this is a dumb question, but back to the Dallas Cowboys, (Jared: Alright.) um, what do you think of them possibly changing the name to Irving Cowboys? Because, I’m from Texas and I think it’s retarded. (audience chuckles)
Jared: (shakes head) I don’t think- They better not. They’ve always been-
Fan: I think because-
Jared: They’ve never been in Dallas. They’ve always been in Irving.
Fan: Yeah. It’s always been Irving.
Jared: So, even with the stadium.
Fan: Yeah. Well, no they’re going to change it to Arlington Cowboys.
Jared: (scrunches face) Oh, really?
Fan: Like, how ‘bout them Arlington Cowboys. It just sounds retarded to me.
Jared: (shakes head) Yeah. (audience giggles)
Fan: I just wondered what you thought about that (giggles).
Jared: Plus, I don’t know how to spell Arlington, so. Dallas is so much easier. I-I- I think they better not. I don’t think they will, but I think they better not.

Fan: And, uh, the question I had was, uh, when you were shooting at the Paramount Studios, to hunt down, like, the studio ghost, I cracked up when they came up with the “Gilmore” joke. Was it something the writers did or was it kind of your idea to put it in?
Jared: In the.. episode “Hollywood Babylon” where we visit the, uh, Warner Brother Studio to go visit the “Gilmore Girls” set, which is funny because we shot it in Vancouver, um, not where they shot “Gilmore Girls.” But it was totally o-our writers decision, um, (nods) to put in “Gilmore Girls” and have me go, “Uhhhhh.” (hand swipe) and, you know, take off.
Which is a fun little, (tossing gesture) you know, for people who don’t know “Gilmore Girls” or do know “Gilmore Girls.” Um, I find myself trying to lower now ‘cause.. (audience laughs) I’m trying to be really cool. (audience chuckles)

Concept: A horror movie called The Truck, about an indestructible pickup truck that just constantly follows the protagonists everywhere and attempts to ram them to death, smashing through whatever buildings and obstacles get in its way. It seems to be able to - slowly - pull itself out of wreckage.
The movie ends with the remaining protagonists successfully boarding a plane to Japan, which acts as a hook for the movie's sequel, Truckzilla: Japan.

Update on the chaos that is my life:
The parental units have decided that if I’m going to be picking fights with road signs in a vehicle, I should at least be picking said fights in my own vehicle. The Camry is about three weeks out from being repaired, and once she’s fixed, she’ll be coming home with me, now that Mom’s got her eye on a new-to-her car for herself. Dad and I are going over the paperwork tomorrow, and I’m setting up a payment plan with them to pay both for the car (which I’d been planning to buy from Mom anyway) and for the repairs.
(I’m pretty sure my insurance rates are going to skyrocket. Ow.)
In other news, it’s been brought to my attention that my family (which has an established tradition for naming our vehicles) hasn’t given the Camry a name in the years that we’ve owned her. This is a travesty that clearly must be amended, especially since Mom’s already named her new car and doesn’t even have it yet. Now taking suggestions for names for a 2007 silver Toyota Camry. (Current ideas Mom and I have brainstormed: Cammie, Shadowfax, the Millennium Falcon, Elbereth, Serenity, Gravedrog. My last car was a blue ‘02 Sebring named Arwen, so...)
#meanwhile IRL#a silver lining to last week's disaster#protip: don't pick fights with road signs#ever#not worth the stress#the good news#in a few weeks I'll never have to stress about driving/parking Truckzilla again!#\o/#Name Keldae's Car#preferably something geeky#if she was white it would be the Falcon in a heartbeat#although if she was black I'd be naming her the Death Star#maybe#kidding about Gravedrog as a name#or am I? >.>

But seriously every time Baby'd see John in season 1 it was exactly like the "welcome home cheater meme."
If Baby could talk she'd be passively aggressively drilling John on what that truck could do that she couldn't. John over their panicking and explaining that he had to leave his boys with a car that he trusted. Which is the excuse Baby could buy and understand. She had a preference for the boys anyways that John couldn't help but be a little jelly and bitter about, but he understands it was for the best in the end anyways.
Another thought for a comic. 2x09-2x10 Dean tells Sam that John told him something about Sam and Baby. Sam's like "What?" And Dean says something about Dad's secrets to carfucking and then slaps on/rushes out at the end about having to kill Sam too.

Today, am a little obsessed with the concept of Cas + cars
The "pimpmobile" as the mark of immaturity & unsettled identity:
Ah, yes. THE Lincoln V. Very "Tom Selleck." (Magnum PI)
When he steals the Continental "pimpmobile," Cas is symbolically the young buck who hasn't settled down. Indeed, in seasons 9 & 10, Cas is wandering the world in search of penance, inevitably finding himself drawn into another guerilla-angel war. (The new flock with Hannah has all the markings of modern warfare, from the tracking to the maps on the wall. They're just trying to get home, but it's still war.)
In groups, Cas does not drive the car. (Driving is still pretty boring thing to him, and he misses his wings.) So, then, the Continental isn't perfect fit...he just likes it. It's a "searching" car. Cas is trying to find his preferred path.
1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V. (Image by Mikael.)
///
But perhaps Cas grows into the retro meaning of the Continental
The 1978 Lincoln Continental V was modeled after the Thunderbird and sold as a luxury item. Popular in its own right, colors like the one Cas drove were referred to as "understated like a diamond solitaire." It's aimed at the idea that "'real' men command quiet power and don't need to throw it around for show."
(Images by Mikael.)
When Cas is with Hannah, he starts embodying the retro meaning of the car: "Good guy you got there," says the trucker after seeing him interact with her child. Slowly, throughout season 10, the idea of Cas + parenthood is being planted and watered.
At this junction, Cas makes a bold switch to try to appear more human than angel, and among this is doing penance to Claire Novak. Cas learns that being a father fills him with...something. It's a feeling that appeals to him and gives his life a new kind of meaning. He's starting to create a life-framework he prefers.
Yes, the Continental is a "searching" kind of car. Cas drives it primarily when he's without his own grace. (Who ARE you now? Who are you, without "all the bells and whistles?")
When Metatron steals the Continental, thus begins his own dark night of the soul, and we see him struggling with soul-searching up until season 11. Indeed, Metatron has also lost his grace, and he loses his faith in everything, from his father to the very idea of the novel and stories.
When Cas gets the car back, something has changed in him, and it no longer fits. He's got his own grace back, for starters. He also starts staying in the bunker more permanently, the choosing of the human struggle over heaven's war. He's feeling out his human family and finding where he wants to fit within it. ///
The brown truck as mark of family!protectorhood
And post-Continental, it turns out Cas is toootally a truck guy. A few things about trucks:
they sit higher on the road, so the driving experience is totally different than a sedan, or even a muscle car
in terms of handling, you can generally be much rougher with them
that is, they're less responsive to steering, so you can grip and turn considerably less delicately, which might be really nice for someone like Cas
they're less responsive to braking inputs due to their suspension and weight, so if Cas is a lead-foot, this would also be very nice for him
they can carry heavier loads than cars and for greater distances
they're also very reliable and they're less likely to break down
when they do break down, they're easier to work on
Cas's 1987 Ford F-Series from season 12
In season 12, when Cas steals the workerman's truck, he takes on family protector more overtly (or the "father" role, as Cas conceptualizes it in season 15's Gimme Shelter). The protector!truck is a SPN mode reflected all the way from John's truckzilla to the tan Ford truck (same model, nearly same year) that Dean drives when he's "dad" to Lisa & Ben's family unit. Though perhaps unlike Dean, Cas thrives in this role. It's comfortable to him.
From SPN 1x21, John's black 1981 GMC Sierra Grande truckzilla, and from SPN 6x21, Dean's tan 1988 Ford F250. Far right is the The Ford of the kind man who offered him water and a sandwich after The Great Fall in SPN 9x01.
The tan truck is a positive sign of a healthy father!protector, whereas John's truck represents a crumbling of strength and brokenness, with only the outward signs of being a stable father. The tan truck also has a positive motif of kindness, since it bears a striking resemblance to the truck of the guy who showed Cas compassion when he fell (offering him food and drink).
Cas's taking of this vehicle as he rushes to rescue a kidnapped Sam represents a resolution to offer support as a father figure to Sam, post-Dean's "death." Certainly, Cas is Sam's friend; it's not as simple as Cas being solely his angelic protector figure. But there is an element of "parental" support in how he interacts with Sam, especially in later seasons (Gadreel + grace extraction, loss of the AU hunters + subsequent mentorship).
///
Stealing the vehicles, though!
Nevertheless, there's something a little dark in Cas stealing the vehicles, subtly reflecting the horror of the taking of Jimmy's vessel in season 4.
However, since his body was restored to Cas directly a la "organ donation" from God, this late-seasons vehicle choice can also reflect a choosing of roles and identity.
Of note, in his later vehicles, Cas usually drives them, even in groups. They are more fully his.
///
The tan truck + Jack n' Kelly
But oh, back to the tan Ford truck. This little farm truck is cute. It is probably in this truck that Cas first listens to the mixtape.
Cas continues his parenthood journey in it when he spirits Kelly n' Jack away. When Cas is agonizing over whether or not to kill Kelly, his little tan truck breaks down. It reflects his uncertainty to take on this new mantle of mature fatherhood, almost like Jack is pausing the narrative as he considers if Cas will be a good choice of Father. And after this, in the hotel room, Jack indeed chooses Cas.
In doing so, Jack's also choosing the Winchester human family of which Cas is a part. We see this when Jack literally steals Baby, and Kelly waxes poetic about how Cas has been chosen as she drives it. (And Baby does NOT break down. She complies, like she's agreeing that Jack should be born and Cas is indeed the Father.)
(Images WinchesterFamilyBusiness)
Alas, it ends in tragedy. There's something so achingly sad when we see the abandoned truck in front of this dilapidated lakehouse in the valley. It's a desolate image next to the dusty, dull impala. And unlike with the Continental, which represented a Cas trying to fill a graceless, human role by reflecting Dean, the truck showcases a more integrated Cas with new familial role: spouse. Which is why the widower arc feels like that.
Visually, Cas (the truck) and the house (the family unit) are dead. The war has killed them and left only an orphaned child in its wake. And Dean and Sam are in the valley. (Indeed, when Cas returns, in the script, he's described as long-lost father, returning home from War.)
(Lakehouses have so much spooky symbolism with regards to the interconnectivity of space and time, but that's another tale for another day.)
///
The Dodge SRT-10, AKA The Family Truck: renewed faith + fatherhood + retaking of Angelicity
Ah, the Dodge.
So, I love that Cas has this truck in particular. This truck is legendary, kinda controversial and it's just SO ridiculously overpowered and goes SO fast for a truck, hahaha. It's definitely a family support vehicle.
Originally, it is ALSO the vehicle, throughout multiple versions of the script, that was supposed to have the broken tapedeck. (Which means, since it's a 2000s-era truck, that someone probably had to put in a CD-tape combo. Ahem. Anyway, I prefer these original scripts, because this broken tapedeck mirrors Cas's empty deal wonderfully.)
So, the Dodge. With 500 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque, it is the fastest truck available, doing 0-60 in a reported 5.2 seconds. It's just so overkill for a quad family truck. ("Nobody else was making a four-door truck with 510 horsepower, so the Dodge people took it upon themselves to fill the void.")
This looks like a shopped-for truck. You're not just gonna happen across a truck like this. "Less than 10,000 of these were ever produced and with a fire breathing V10 under the hood, they were quite possibly one of the coolest trucks ever made." So, we can guess that yes, Cas does appear to genuinely like trucks, and he definitely seems to have chosen this sledgehammer of a vehicle.
The Dodge Ram 1500 SRT-10 pickup truck (specifically for work/hunting and family support). It's a stupid lot of power stuffed into a truck, like how Cas is an angel is stuffed into a human.
Also, this hints that Cas likes rapid acceleration and driving fast. This makes sense to me, as he complained about the Impala being slow, and he told Hannah in season 10 that he would take the curves FASTER "to help her nausea." (Oh, Cas...)
For the later seasons, this truck is visually very "Cas," and in scenes and drafts, he's exclusively the one driving it, and he's usually driving it when other family members are feeling vulnerable; ergo, support. (See original draft versions of The Spear.) Like the specter of the double diamonds in 15x09, The Trap, Cas is utilitarian and pragmatic, a divergent-convergent thinker.
In season 14, Cas also drives:
The blue Ford Fiesta
But I'm 99% confident this is Sam's car
Because vintage SPN underlines that blue, nondescript cars are actually Sam's preferred car make and look
It's fuel efficient, so Cas takes it to the shaman
Also, Cas's acting on behalf of Sam's wishes when he goes to see Sergei
Ford LTD Crown Victoria (the bird poop car)
Presumably, he drives the bird poop car in Peace of Mind to be a little more incognito than the big, imposing truck
It also reflects Sam's low state of mind
Sam drives it in Moriah, too, a direct parallel to Sam versus Chuck and Sam versus Mayor Harrington from Charming Acres
The super sexy 1968 Mercury M100
Another truck Cas drives in late season 15 with Jack is this open-bed teal classic. The incredibly collectible 1968 Mercury M100.
And this M100 is delicious.
It's also, like the SRT-10, highly sought after and not a truck you're going to just happen across. It's another shopped-for truck. (I find it unlikely that it was one of the classics sitting in the MoL bunker, since they were slaughtered by Abaddon in 1958 and this one's make is 1968.)
So, either Cas has gotten into rare trucks (a real possibility since this one is even more challenging to drive), or Dean shopped this one with him, too. It's probably a mix of both, considering that in 13x22's Exodus script, Cas is shown helping with basic mechanics and repair. It's very possible that Cas has developed an interest alongside his newfound interest in human language and metaphors.
ANYWAY, these M100's are as classy as fuck and are actually workhorse trucks, too.
It's got a legendary straight six engine, and again, there weren't many of these vehicles built or sold. (Straight six is a trusty little pump of power, especially for the time. It's also easier to work on than most; would be great for someone who's only so-so at maintenance.)
This truck, unless it's been upgraded, is a little bit hard to handle, too. It takes a firm grip and a heavy foot, because it's a manual through and through. Manual gear shifting and no power steering. It's a two-hander just to go around curves.
In terms of its style, it's a little more laidback than the Dodge, which is probably why Cas is taking it on the murder investigation (i.e. not hunting). It's got an open bed, which means it's probably a little more fun for Jack, too. (Indeed we see Jack enjoying sitting in the truck bed. The green/teal is a symbol of renewal & growth, visually keying into Jack's return and the slow healing of the family unit.)
CASTIEL: My name is, um well, my name's not important. I do know what blind faith is. I used to just follow orders without question, and I did some pretty terrible things. I would never look beyond the plan. And then, of course, when it all came crashing down, I found myself lost. I didn't know what my purpose was anymore. And then one day, something changed, something amazing. I... I guess I found a family, and I became a father. And in that, I rediscovered my faith. I rediscovered who I am.
This is Castiel's preferred answer to season 15's question of nihilism.
This is what Castiel has chosen, and his later-seasons vehicles reflect this desire and this chosen identity. He even walks away from it in 15x06 to meditate on his path, and when he steps away, he sees Chuck for what he is. He chooses to come back specifically to fight Chuck's machinations and protect his family from them. To help them find their way post-existential crises, the way they helped him find his way re:Heaven. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish...till death do us part.

In a previous post you said "dont get me started on godzilla" as well as something about orcs.
Consider this me getting you started on Godzilla!
Also, orcs? Why orcs?
Oh no. What have you done?
Let’s skip past my (embarrassing) encyclopedic knowledge and focus on how it all began. “Dinsoaurs!” with Fred Savage. Specifically 8 minutes 33 seconds in.
youtube
Picture if you will a young Trans Nonbinary of six years, gazing at a television and witnessing a prehistoric monster mentioned by name and name only.
This was my introduction.
This half-second reference to one of the most famous pop-culture icons of all time. Honesty at that time? I thought the black-and-white photo was a photo of an actual living breathing phenomenon, though perhaps deceased. For many Moons I stayed ignorant, living with the mystery of who or what this “Godzilla” was. Eventually I approached my parents, and was astonished to find that—indeed—even they had heard the name “Godzilla.”
Godzilla. An American bungling of “Gojira” and yet so appropriate.
This was more than just a man in a 220 lb suit. This was God. And for decades after, Godzilla would become my God.
At this point I can’t help but share the short film “Coming Out” by the one the only Cressa Maeve Beer.
I was a neglected, bullied child. Invisible, hurting, ignored.
When at last I saw (eyeroll) the Americanized “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” with Raymond Burr (gay, btw) there was no going back,
Godzilla was something you couldn’t hurt. Godzilla was someone impossible to ignore.
I think I was seven or eight when I finally saw this movie. And to my amazement, there was more. So much more. No matter how bad things got, there was always Godzilla. I took to the libraries, the blockbusters, the “Hollywood Videos” (anyone? anyone?) anything everything Godzilla I wanted to consume.
You have to know this was exceedingly difficult. There was no internet in my house until late 2000.
Furthermore my love of Godzilla was consistently mocked by my Dad (a Trekkie.) While on the surface he valued peace and nonviolence, my interests in the chaos and destruction of giant monsters were decidedly uncouth. Still, there was no getting past it. I was a child, obsessed.
Image from my personal private collection (1/2)
Regardless of how you feel. Godzilla is the most successful movie franchise in the history of film. What other movie can you think of with 31 sequels? Godzilla is the third most recognized character in the world next to 1. Jesus and 2. Santa Claus. Even the term “Zilla” is an adjective meaning “bigger and angrier than necessary” (such as: Bridezilla or Truckzilla)
To this day, the original 1954 roar of this monster sends shivers of delight down my spine. Nothing else comes close. And who’d have thought? Simply a leather glove running down the strings of a standup bass.
youtube
Eventually, even Alex would be forced to reckon with my intense love.
Read the entire comic HERE
For years and years my love of King Kong (1933) ran neck and neck with my love of Godzilla. They were my G.O.A.T.s...
...but finally after a decade of hand-wringing it would be the original 1954 “Gojira” that would finally claim the title “Favorite Movie of All Time.” First of all it wasn’t racist, and secondly the true hero of the film is Emiko Yamane (a woman! gasp!). This, and the decidedly anti-nuclear message of the film puts it above “King Kong” in my book (though it’s impossible to mention one without the other!)
Alex would go on to not only make my favorite ever hand-made stuffed Godzilla toy -- but make a COSTUME based on said toy -- AND purchase my most prized Godzilla collectible for me (in a true Sugar Mama move)
What can I say? I love Godzilla.
I will not and can not die before I visit Japan and see for myself Toho Studios where it all began. And you have to know I had collaborative gallery show in Tokyo planned for 2020 before all hell broke loose and I’m still grieving (as greedy as this sounds) I do not regularly get to speak of Godzilla with any enthusiasts, especially these days. But it is a subject I am prepared to discuss for many, many hours.
In fact - I conducted a lecture concerning the history and sociopoltical importance of Godzilla back in my Art School days. I submitted an unpromted essay for extra credit for my History of Film class on “Gojira” because I thought my professor could use some supplementary material with regards to American-Japanese cinema following WW2.
I would literally keep going but the leftovers have been heated up so it’s time for dinner.
As for the Orcs? Start here and circle back when you’re ready.

Spooky hoofs
The story sort of ends there, although according to the beast’s Wikipedia entry, a few odd sightings followed. Like any other big & tall-store-shopping bigfoot. The creature itself was never found, but it did leave behind some footprints, which, it will not surprise you to learn, were big. Ford’s husband, Bobby, and his brother, Don were returning from a hunting trip and were able to chase it away - but it later came back to attack Bobby. Though sightings (and smellings) had been reported before, the Fouke Monster fever pitch really hit its height in 1971 when the ape overstepped its bounds and reached through a screen door to attack Elizabeth Ford. So bad it’s been lumped in with other Forteana stink monsters under the umbrella of the Skunk Ape. Story: For those who haven’t seen the classic Legend of Boggy Creek (that’s the trailer above), let’s fill you in on some background: The Fouke Monster is a purported hominid cryptid living near the Texas-Arkansas-Oklahoma border (Texarkana) who has red eyes and smells really, really bad. The gist: Being a 7-foot-tall sasquatch who smells really, really, really bad. As with many regional Bigfoot franchises and affiliates, there is a group dedicated to finding the Mogollon Monster - good luck to them! Also, reports of an “eerie silence” often precede encounters. Anyway, Arizona’s particular Bigfoot, just like a bunch of other Bigfeet, is said to smell pretty terrible. Have you ever heard of them?” Congenial but dull. That’s cool, right?” which is kind of like someone saying, “The Beatles are my favorite band. But it seems that when sending a contestant to the America Monster Pageant, many states default to the safe line of “Well, we have a sasquatch here. I find the sasquatch as deathly dull as you do. Story: Okay, so this and the next monster are both Bigfootish, and I apologize in advance for the lack of thrills there. The gist: A seven-foot-tall Bigfoot-like creature with bad B.O. Photo courtesy of Coconino National Forest Service. Now, can your prehistoric bear-dog do that? If a Kushtaka decides to save you it will transform you into one of its own so that you can now, a supernatural otter yourself, swim to safety. The creature can mimic human voices while in otter form and thus, for good or ill, can lull the drowning by imitating the voices of their loved ones. Depending on its mood, a Kushtaka might aid a sailor - or drown him. A supernatural otter! Are you afraid yet? If you’re a sailor in distress you maybe should be. Orrrrrrrrr you can have a person who shapeshifts into an otter. I mean, sure, you can enjoy legend of prehistoric wolf creatures if you wish. Story: While stories of the Waheela - giant wolves that might be descendants of a species of prehistoric “bear-dogs” - persist in the mythos of Alaska, those of us who were bored to within an inch of our life by the Liam Neeson-movie The Grey might let out a slow, steady yawn. As in, a person who transforms into an otter. Oh, and the pig itself may have started out as a farm pig before being sold to a game preserve. a half-ton pig may (or may not!) have been shot in Alabama in 2007, and 2. So to sum up, there are two terrifying things at play here: 1. Not to be outdone, an 11-year-old boy in Alabama is reported to have killed a 1,051-lb. Georgia had the maybe-made-up tale of Hogzilla (no relation to Truckzilla), which weighed in at just over 1,000 lbs. Story: Tales of gigantic wild boars remain a big thing in those parts of the South where wild pigs still roam free. The gist: Weighs upwards of 1,000 pounds, is wild boar. So read on to see what your home state has to offer the world in terms of things that go bump in the night. My credentials: enormous amounts of time spent as a kid in the library, ingesting every book about UFOs, the paranormal, cryptozoology, haunted houses and every other piece of “X-Files” plot fodder I could lay hands on. Some states have an embarrassment of monsters to choose from (and in the case of Florida… well!), but, with a couple exceptions, I tried to confine this guide to just one monster per state. In fact, there be monsters in just about every state, except for Delaware and Kansas (maybe). Because here there be monsters - and over there, too. Here you will find a field-guide to the werewolves, lake monsters, vampires, swamp people, and space brains that populate these 50 states.
