Some teams have their own outfits, others have a [[Team Pet]], and then there's these guys and their (usually) [[Cool Car]]. This vehicle is the team's metallic pet: Most of the time, it will sport the team's or character's logo, have its own affectionate surname and be seen in almost every episode.
Line 10:
It's not unusual for [[The Lancer]] or otherwise the '[[Badbutt|cool]][[Badass|est]]' member of the team to get their own vehicle separate from the main vehicle the rest of the team drives around in. Expect it to be a motorcycle.
 
[[Sister Trope]] to [[Thememobile]], where the vehicle sports the team colors but isn't iconic/emotionally linked to the character/team. See also [[Global Airship]], which is usually a [['''Signature Team Transport]]''' for a party of RPG heroes.

* That's probably true for many pilots, bikers and cavaliers, who considers their plane/car/bike/horse a part of themselves.
** The [[Red Baron|Richthofen brothers']] red fighter planes are one of the examples (the less well-known Lothar von Richthofen had his planes painted red with yellow, and after his brother's death black, tail).
