Lightning McQueen hits the curb every time he pulls into Flo’s and every resident in Radiator Springs can and will make fun of him every chance they get

Next gen headcanons? 🤔

Like, Jackson, Cruz, Tim, Danny, Chase, and Ryan?

Oh boy, that's a few characters. Alright, strap in then. Probably also gonna throw in Bubba because he's my favourite non-main next gen <3

(Humanised, as always)

(Quick disclaimer for this one, none of these are supposed to reflect on the irl racers that gave their names and voices to them - I'm treating these characters as though they're entirely fictional and not based on/inspired by real people. I make my HCs literally just based on Vibes (and RPs))

Jackson Storm:

6'1 and fit AF. Clearly spends a lot of time in the gym toning his body and muscles. He is male model levels of gorgeous. Physically flawless black man <3

Short black dreadlocks dyed blue at the ends.

Aromantic (female-leaning)bisexual.

Autistic.

Ray knew he was autistic before Jackson even knew himself, and is the reason he even got diagnosed in the first place.

One of his most common complaints is still about the reflections of the sun glinting in his eyes. The loud noise of the track still gets to him occasionally, but he has special earplugs to help him deal with it.

Can usually be seen drinking a can of IGNTR's flagship energy drink before a race. It helps him calm down and focus in. His sponsors love it, for obvious reasons.

Any time he's on camera, he acts calm and cool but internally he's freaking out. If they ask something he doesn't expect, he visibly tenses up and flounders for a second as he tries to figure out what to say, even if it was a simple question.

Doesn't do fan meets or signings unless he absolutely has to. Even then he tries everything he can to get out of them.

His physical attractiveness makes his already poor attitude even worse. Doesn't know how to talk to people, but gets all the praise and attention he could ever want online.

Yes, he posts photos of himself on various social media. He wasn't sure at first, but Ray convinced him to start shortly after his debut race, hoping that it would help reassure him and give him a bit of a confidence boost. Naturally, it went a little TOO well...

He's a gamer through and through. In any downtime he gets, he's still topping the leaderboards on just about every popular racing game you can play online. He also enjoys the occasional game of CoD and will verbally rip anyone to shreds if they try to come at him.

DUBSTEP. He loves it. If his skull isn't rattling from absolutely filthy, grimy bass, he's not interested.

So, of course, he has to have an incredible sound system that's probably worth more than the average person's car.

He doesn't watch anime. (Stop asking him if he does) Most of his entertainment comes from Twitch streams.

He streams himself playing Super Corsa 4 any chance he gets. Which isn't often with the packed NASCAR schedule, but he tries his best. His user is UrStormChasing

Still doesn't get along with Tim after their rivalry in training and isn't very good at pretending he does either. Their crew chiefs have to make deliberate efforts to stop them from running into each other before they get into their cars.

Cruz Ramirez:

5'5 with an athletic build. She is a Latina woman with visible abs and she deserves them gdi.

Side-parted brown hair a little shorter than jaw length, perpetually kinda wild looking.

Chaotic lesbian hours!

ADHD

Literally cannot sleep at night without a big, milky mug of coffee.

It's not normal to wake up and go for a run before even having breakfast?

She's teaching Lightning to use social media more regularly (for better or for worse). His homework is to send her a funny meme or video that he found that week.

The result of this can sometimes be catastrophic. She'll never be able to unhear him uncertainly attempting to use outdated slang.

Almost every race, there's someone complaining about how she doesn't weigh enough and it's unfair to the rest of them. So she forces them to watch as race officials put extra weights in her car.

Has cussed Danny out in Spanish across Pit Road and will do it again if he carries on-

Is probably the only person on Team Dinoco that is actually nice to Cal and doesn't try to tease him. They get along well.

Tim Treadless:

6'0 with a broad frame and light muscle tone.

Tanned skin and tousled brown hair.

Straight ally.

Just call him Mr. Charismatic, everyone loves him.

Everyone except Jackson, that is. Jackson is the only person who brings out his anger to the point of wanting to throw hands.

Has a wife and a baby, bc of course he does.

One of those guys some people hate for being irritatingly perfect. Usually people that don't actually know him.

Has type 1 diabetes and a bad nut allergy.

Was pulled out of a race at the last minute when he went into anaphylactic shock - the entire race was almost stopped when people started to whisper that it was foul play. The race went on, but the only reason for Treadless' absence was that he had to be pulled for "unforseen medical issues".

Some of the other racers still blame Jackson, who actually had nothing to do with it.

Danny Swervez:

5'10 and fairly slender. Not a lot of bulk to him.

Tanned skin (he's Latino) and short black hair.

Cishet male.

This man is FULL of himself. What an attitude.

Genuinely a good racer, but not many people like him.

He's not a good guy. He's given Cruz some trouble for being a woman, though after she embarrassed him by publicly cussing him out in Spanish, he's learned to keep his unpopular opinions on her to himself.

Isn't exactly what we would call "faithful".

But hey, at least he doesn't cheat on the track (smh)

Has just as little respect for the older racers as Jackson, but is less vocal about it.

Is very bitter about Jackson and Tim being more popular than him, yet still does nothing to change himself for the better.

Has at least attempted to physically fight with other drivers that messed with him on the track several times.

Chase Racelott:

5'9 with a build somewhere between Danny and Tim.

Pale skin and dirty-blonde hair.

Straight ally.

Generally a pretty likeable guy. Not as well-loved as Tim, but he has a good amount of pretty dedicated fans.

Makes jokes about being single/available.

Has pretty average performance on the track, not great, but not poor.

Fairly high energy, he gets along well with Cruz.

Probably one of the best with kids. Has a lot of younger fans because of how he interacts with them during meets and signings.

One of the few who will try not to leave until he's spoken to every fan who wanted to meet him, no matter how long it takes.

Often seen hanging around with Ryan - the two of them cause some pretty good natured trouble together, often involving pranks on the other racers.

Ryan "Inside" Laney:

5'11 with a broad build similar to Tim.

Mixed race (¾ Caucasian, ¼ African American), with short black hair.

Closeted bisexual.

Friendly, but not really a standout character as far as the fans are concerned.

Kind of cocky, but in a cool way.

Has a girlfriend who travels with him.

Agent of chaos when he spends too much time with Chase. Don't turn your back on him.

Bubba Wheelhouse

Absolutely massive 6'2 gentle giant

Another gorgeous black man (fight me), his skin tone isn't quite as dark as Jackson's

Closeted homosexual

Has a fake relationship with a lesbian woman who's actually just his best friend (the racing world is scary and the US South probably wouldn't love an openly gay driver)

Kids ADORE him. Him and Chase are the drivers with the most kid fans.

Throws a football around with fans over the catch fence during rain delays (this one is based on the real Bubba Wallace bc its wholesome af)

Gets asked all the weird gay questions by everyone in the friend group. (Ex. "Is it gay if...?" "What is X actually like?")

Legit just trying to mind his own business, he doesn't want any part of drama or rivalries.

Occasionally finds himself roped into girl talk if the guys have their S/Os around. They're very excited to include him. He's too polite to decline.

This has probably been said before but I like how there's this part of the Cars fandom that has collectively agreed that Lightning(particularly his hair/if any facial hair) is nearly the same as Owen Wilson's.

Fillmore used to have rough anger issues and it is part of the reason he started meditating in the first place

Some of the radiator springs citizens refuse to believe someone like Fillmore could’ve had a reaction bigger than an eyebrow raise

Hello Cars fellow!

Just wanted to share a Weathers HC :

Cal knew it. He knew it was time to retire. The next generation was ready,and the old racers couldn't win against them.

So on an evening he decided to retire.

He said goodbye to Mcqueen and told Tex he wanted to leave the Dinoco team.

Tex didn't care too much about his retirement,but Strip tried to stop him.

Cal was in his truck,thinking about his races.

Strip entered and said "hey Cal...Tex told me you want to.."

But Cal interrupted him "you once told me the youngsters would have told me when it would have been the time to stop. I know my time has come...you can't persuade me to go on"

Strip slowly accosted near his nephew.

He said "Despite what Tex and the others say about you,I've always thought you were a great racer,blood of my blood."

Cal smiled. His uncle smiled too.

Cal "thanks uncle. Thanks for having always been by my side"

Strip winked.

Cal just finished an adventure, but he started another one.

Hope you liked it!

#I adore u #let's be friends pls! #I love the Weathers #I'm hyper fixated with Cars #Dinoco supremacy

AAAAAAA I LOVE BITTERSWEET ITS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE THING OF ALL TIME😭😭

This kinda links in with my headcannon of Cal becoming a bit depressed after his retirement, he has a lot of racing left in him like McQueen but he never got the chance to show people. Strip is the absolute first person he goes to for issue regarding his mental state😭

AND OMG IM SO HONOURED ID LOVE TO BE FRIENDSAAAAAAA

Sometimes I forget Jackson is canonically short. Like I always imagined in a human AU he would be tall and probably a bit lanky and resemble “L” from DeathNote to a degree- but in several places it describes and points out how Jackson is kinda short, especially compared to Lightning, he’s like half the size Lightning, and it makes me want to rework my entire human AU headcanons for how they look aishsishfjsjdj

More humanized Lightning McQueen headcanons

Man’s knees pop likes he’s an old man

I read somewhere one of the most common injuries are knee injuries and back pain

Like I think he probably has chronic knee pain

Constantly wraps and has to ice it after a race or practice

Doc makes sure he is taking care of his body because he knows that Lightning will neglect it out of pride

Once Harv kept scheduling him races back to back and Lightnings completely neglected his knee due to barely having any downtime to rest

His knees completely buckled after a race, causing him to fall to the ground and Doc nearly had a damn panic attack thinking the kid passed out

Doc refused to let Lightning race or practice for a week

He complained because he said he was “bored”

Secretly he loved the free time and being able to actually relax and let his body heal

Lightning takes cooking lessons from Flo because Doc could not stand Lightning being okay with eating cereal for dinner

Doc asked Flo to give Lightning lessons so he could cook for himself when he wasn’t home

Every week he will occasionally go out and play poker or cards with Sheriff

Lightning surprisingly picked up fast and cooked a meal for Sally

He got a recipe from Luigi and it was the best thing Sally ever ate

She won’t admit it tho

Lightning is great with kids

Sally has talked about having kids but obviously is the far FAR future

Lightning won’t admit it, but he’s afraid of being a dad

His real father was horrible to him

His mom left him when he was a toddler

He knows nothing about how to be a father, only what a father isn’t

But the more time he spends with Doc, the more he realizes what a father should be

Because obviously he sees Doc as a father figure

[carboardserpent]

Charles "Bomber" Hicks (1910-1982). One of the first Piston Cup racers ever, and definitely one of the racers of all time. So named because of the way he used to throw moonshine molotovs out of the window to slow down the cops.

He may not have been one of the best racers ever, winning two Piston Cups, but he was definitely one of the most memorable, thanks to his reckless driving and charismatic personality - not to mention his habit of having a new woman on his arm every few months.

When one of the women (June Pepper/Hicks, 1913-1991) fell pregnant, he (surprisingly to most) did the responsible thing and married her to help raise their child.

Kevin Hicks (1941-2003) followed in his father's footsteps and became a Piston Cup racer. Just like his father, he was aggressive on the track, also achieving two Cups in his career.

His wife Joanne (1945-1974) was a reckless spark of a woman, often chasing the thrill of danger, which may be what led her to Kevin in the first place. They had two children (Charles and Kristine) but unfortunately she passed in a Road Traffic Accident when her son was 5 and her daughter only 2.

Charles "Chick" Hicks (1969-present) also followed the legacy his father and grandfather had built, though somewhat more unwillingly. His father pushed him hard into the world of racing, projecting his own failed dreams of winning more Piston Cups than his own father onto his son.

Pressured to dedicate all of his focus onto the sport with little time for much else, Chick never married, though despite that, he still only received one Piston Cup before retirement. He went on to host a racing news show named 'Chick's Picks with Chick Hicks'. It has become one of the highest rated shows of its niche, despite (or perhaps because of) Chick's jaded and sarcastic personality.

(Thanks to @cars-and-planes-dork for helping inspire me to actually write all this out!)

Non binary car?

i feel like filmore is enby in a "just goin with the flow gender-wise" kinda way. if he was a human i feel like hed wear sundresses and other feminine clothes most of the time but also be pretty masc otherwise, like hed have a pretty deep voice and occasionally grow out a beard when he feels like it. icon behaviour honestly

#i love enby people who screw with gender in the weirdest ways #ask #pixar cars headcanons #cars headcanons #fillmore cars #cars fillmore #non binary

[funsized-panda]

saw someone's headcannon post and I started thinking

blame @x0stormie0x for getting me into this mess

anyway

I love the idea of Doc being so fatherly towards Lightning. Like not even just being a part of the pit crew, all of RS became for Lightning, but literally being a father.

Someone mentioned Doc having to pull Lightning out of bed every morning, and HE WOULD! you're telling me this man is a morning person? never. he gets up at 3 pm SHARP.

I can see Doc waking Lightning up like in those cliche movies. He opens the blinds and yanks the covers off him. "Rise and shine, Mcqueen! we got training today!" All cheery and Lightning just groans and rolls over, trying to go back to sleep.

I can see during the off season Lightning and Doc just having this father-son relationship like no one else, and Doc even adopts Mater into the family dynamic at one point bc that's Lightning's beat friend and they already act like brothers anyway.

During off-season, while there is training, Doc isn't as harsh. Instead, he's sweeter and a little more gentle. It's only when racing season picks back up that he gets a bit harsher on our boy, and Lightning hates it, but he knows Doc does it out of love.

When they're not training, they're hanging out at Doc's place or maybe Flo's. Doc has to rally Lightning like he's a 3 year old because he gets so caught up in everything and starts getting so excited he can't contain himself.

They get on one another's nerves all the time, but that's because they love each other like their blood, and everyone knows it. They wouldn't have it any other way, especially when they keep each other busy and in check.

Lightning normally doesn’t get super stressed over things so when something does stress him out it normally hits him hard.

He actually has a few grey hairs from stress. He says he dyes his hair for fun (which is partly true) but he also does it to hide the grey hairs even though they aren’t too noticeable unless you get close and really look for them
