Pixar Cars Movie Characters:
Other Minor Characters
Scattered throughout the film are some memorable background Cars movie characters. These minor characters may make a short appearance in the film, but we'll know who they are after reading this page... But if you want beyond extensive characters you didn't even knew existed in Cars, then check out the excellent book Pixarpedia. There are nine pages of extras you never knew about!
Deliquent Road Hazards
This is the group of four mischievous cars done up like street racers. These Cars movie characters mess with Mack by playing soft music to put him to sleep and then they nudge him to the side of the road. They then speed off.
Boost is the purple 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse who uses nitrous tanks to give him bursts of speed.
DJ is a blue low-riding 2004 Scion xB with a fancy sound system.
Snot Rod is an orange 1970 Plymouth Barracuda with a huge engine rising up through his hood. He's a bit dorky and he always sneezes.
And Wingo is a fast Nissan Silvia with a tall spoiler and a fancy paint job all purple and green with neat looking headlights.
Get your own Wingo & DJ
and Snot Rod & Boost.
These cars light up, too!
Tia and Mia
These two red Mazda Miata twin sisters are Lightning McQueen's most devoted fans. They're seen at the beginning of the film in the stands cheering him on. However, after McQueen goes missing, Tia and Mia decide to follow Chick Hicks instead.
Rusty and Dusty
Rusty is an old Doge Dart and Dusty is a old Dodge van and they're the founders of Rust-eze Bumper ointment. Rust-eze is Lightning McQueen's sponsor and Rusty and Dusty host the hospitality tent to help promote their product. Their jokes are as old and worn out as they are and McQueen has to endure an appearance to keep them happy.Bessie
Bessie is Radiator Springs' road paving machine. She's big, hot and heavy and spurts out molten tar now and then. Lightning McQueen gets the privilege of working with Bessie and although the first try was a dud to make a new road, the second attempt left a beautiful black and smooth street.
Frank
Frank is the huge bull-like combine harvester who watches over the herd of cow-like tractors. Frank is easily provoked and when Lightning McQueen and Mater go tractor tipping one night, Frank chases them away, terrifying McQueen.
