Chris has a habit of shoehorning his personal interests, into the Sonichu comics. He also has a fondness for cart racing games. My guess is he just mindlessly included it in there because he thinks it's cool.If Magi-Chan can teleport himself and the entire Chaotic Combo from place to place, and even apparently do so through Time with the help of a Sonichu Ball or two, then why the fuck would he need to know how to drive? Why would any Sonichu need to drive, when the little buggers are all capable of running around at the speed of sound for as long as is necessary?
Is it all just down to Chris's materialism and lack of imagination? 'Hmmm, yeah, well dey is all great so dey'll all have kewl cars. Even if dey don't need dem at all. Among which.'
This is an example of the Chekhov's gun principle, which states every element in a story must be necessary. The car does not serve as a plot device nor does it have any significance to the story. Many young fanfiction writers have the same problem, where they mention their character's gun in explicit detail, without serving any purpose to the story other than to look cool. Similarly Sonichu does not need to have a car for the same reasons.
