STARGATE PICSPAM: The Cars They Drive

[campylobacter]

Last year while I was writing "Bookends", I asked cleothemuse  "What kind of car does Daniel drive?" She listed several options: the Land Rover he rented in Cairo, a Jeep, or Jack's truck, which Jack might've left when he moved to DC. I chose Jack's truck. I was just over at lc59's Colour Meme, and she's given Vala a 1965 Mustang Shelby Fastback.

So canonically, what kind of vehicles do Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter, Cameron Mitchell, and Daniel Jackson drive?

Do Teal'c and Vala drive cars?

[Michael Shanks at Fan Odyssey Culver City, California, 5-8 June, 2003]
Audience Member: "What kind of car does Daniel drive?"

Michael Shanks: "That's a very interesting question. In fact that was brought up as background on the two-parter that we're doing, "Heroes". We've never seen Daniel in a vehicle except for maybe a taxi cab or getting dropped off by a military car or the Egypt thing (in "The Curse"), but we also thought that that would be a great thing to fill in because we've already seen what kind of car the others drive. And the type of car he drives sort of shows where his mind set is. He drives... he would drive... something circa 1940's, an old clunker, you know not anything new, so they found an old revamped 1950's military vehicle because he's not a new car or motorcycle type, but more a military vehicle type. (Like the Land Rover? The audience refers to the one in "The Curse".) Yeah, like that."

Daniel drove a Land Rover, obviously rented, in Cairo from the Season 4 episode "The Curse"

Daniel's 1948-1950 VJ Jeepster from the Season 7 episode "Lost City" (click image if the layout cuts it off the far right side)

Restored Jeepsters from the same era, including a 1950s Jeep Wagoneer with contrasting panels, and a plain 1956 Willys Jeep:

 

I can also imagine him at one point driving a used, high-maintenance, Euro-nerd clunker such as a 1999 Peugeot 306 Meridian.

Michael Shanks owns a Toyota Prius.

Teal'c drives away in a Dodge Durango from Season 8's "Affinity"

Chris Judge drives a Hummer.


Now Vala's a wild card... how about a 2008 Ducati 848?

...or the James Bond Aston Martin?


...or the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill! :-D

Excuse my extreme laziness with proper linkage with the html, I am in bed on the laptop. :P

We do see Daniel's old red thing in Lost City when he and Teal'c show up with donuts here: http://www.macsyourman.com/stargatesg1971/screencaps/season7/721dvd/caps/sg1-7x21-2717.html I have no idea what make/model it is though, but I reckon it suits him. I agree with Shanks, Daniel and old clunky cars go together.

Also, Teal'c is driving away in this black number at the end of Affinty: http://www.macsyourman.com/stargatesg1971/screencaps/season8/807dvd/caps/sg1-8x07-3453.html I assume it could possibly be his own as it doesn't seem like the type of car that would be in the SGC motorpool. :P

I want to see Vala in something sleek, a Mercedes with the top down, wind in her hair... :P

I am entirely clueless about cars. Probably because I am afraid of them and don't drive. So mostly I just look at these pictures and go "Yeah, that looks like [insert character name here]"

You might be interested in looking at this site http://www.imcdb.org/movies.php?title=stargate to see if they have any info you don't have and in turn add your own info.

That land Rover in "Egypt" is a 1971-1974 North America spec 109 that has been accessorised to look like it is/was in military service.
The episode probably wasn't filmed in Egypt...
