look i love dilfy chick hicks and i absolutely understand if you hc him to be a middle-aged man during cars 1

but the reason why i hc him to be 35 during that time is because a lot of the tragedy with my chick is how he "sped" through his life

he was barely able to enjoy his childhood, he was forced to be fully independent by the time he was a teenager, and the moment he became eligible for the piston cup circuit he dedicated his entire life to it, to the point where it became the only "stable" part of his identity

and now he clings onto the past as a way to make up for all the years of his life that he "wasted", where he was alive but wasnt able to *live*

also he has a lot of really weird views and feelings about aging so he feels like his life is already over, when babe it is not. its not over until youre dead

citing sources for my post:

chick repeatedly calls strip "old man" as an insult. in the comics he straight up calls him senile. hes canonically weird about old ppl

also in the comics, chick says "i always gas it-- im a race car" and "i always attack everything full out" and that indicates to me that chick doesnt know how to slow down and get out of the fast lane

this is silly but i dont want ppl to think im spewing bullshit when it comes to Deep Analysis about my fave characters.... i make up a lot of headcanon crap but i always try to base it on canon characterization
