CARSTOBER 2023 - Day 15

Favourite Next-Gen Racer: Tim Treadless

Posting this later than usual bc my pen had to be recharged and I also needed to go to bed 😅

Anyway, I find Tim interesting bc of his backstory involving Jackson Storm, which is told in the "Taken by Storm" book (I haven't read it unfortunately, but I know the plot in general from the Cars wiki)

I think I'll get that book and "Stuck by Lightning" as well for Christmas, but I'm not sure about that yet 🤔😅

Hope you like it ☺️

I need to make a post on this little guy cause he’s too good

I got Mac so long ago, I don’t remember it. Probably ‘06 or ‘07. But he is iconic. Let me take y’all on a little tour.

Mac’s trailer opens up into a whole mini condo for cars. There’s a bathroom, game room, kitchenette, and workout room. It’s funny but it also gives some pretty cool insight into what living quarters look like for cars.

I’m gonna show y’all around with Francisco demonstrating the different amenities because I still haven’t found my lightning mcqueen yet so improvisation!

First we see the shower. It’s fully equipped as a mini car wash with rolling sponges, a shower head, and a water-proof, anti-slip mat. The car can drive through as many times as they need to get squeaky clean, with the rollers a perfect hight except Francisco is a shorty so doesn’t reach-

Next we have a vanity with cold and hot water levers built into the floor that Francisco can’t reach properly because of his dumbass low front bumper and a low, accessible sink, complete with a hands free toothbrush and a mirror that Francisco can see himself in.

Then there’s the game room with a fully positional (sofa? Bed? Mat?) cushioned parking spot.

If he pulls forward, there a tv/game controller for his front tires. And of course behind there is the phone. (Harv’s phone number yall)

Next is the kitchenette where we find a water tank and gas pump positioned to be accessible for Francisco. There’s some products which I can only assume is McQueens pantry. The labels are kinda hard to read but he’s got Nitroade™️, shiny wax, and transberry juice. Hehehehehehhehe 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️Then there’s the fridge that has a single product inside labeled “ENERGY.”

Then there’s the whole work out zone which I’m going to need to add in the reblogs.

[house-of-past-lives]

I think more people need to acknowledge the fact that the sponsors in Cars actually have SLOGANS and theyre adorable

"We found something in the ground that makes you go go go. So, go Dinoco!" - Dinoco

"You won't leave your garage without us!" - HtB (Hostile takeover bank)

"My IGNTR Liquid adrenaline will make you faster than lightning." - IGNTR

"Feul full of vim and vigor... with Vitoline! For older, active cars!" -Vitoline

"A quart a day keeps roadside assistance away!" - Octain Gain (my personal favorite)

"Guarantees you Leak Less with our Adult Drip Ban protection!" - LEAK LESS (THEY HAVE 2, THE OTHER IS MY FAVORITE- "WATCH YOUR WHEELS!" @teeful-corner 's suggested the first one)

"Do long drives make you want to crash? Keep awake with Nitroade." -Nitroade (TIM TREADLESS IS MY FAVORITE your never changing my mind)

IGNTR and Nitroade's slogans further prove my theory and headscannons that Tim and Jackson are hooked on energy drinks 😭

And as for HtB's slogan, that just... makes a lot of sense on why Chick is the way he is- it's practically a criminal law group. It's a banking company for hostile acquisitions-... yeah. And his Next-gen racer replacement popped up in my view? Oh, absolutely it makes sense. (For those who don't know HtB got a diecast for a Next-gen racer- His name is Rowdy Revvin' Busch.)

Vitolines also made me laugh bc its basically vitamin water for cars 😭 its so cute- Chase and Brick having to say that in commercials makes me giggle,,

Octain Gain's my favorite- thinking of Danny and Bobby having to say thay makes so much sense to me

Dinoco having that's also cute because it's just imagining Cal and Strip in their little accents- and Cruz later on-

Anyways

News of the day: Sponsor slogans

[cars-and-planes-dork]

So I did something crazy yesterday. I tried my damnedest to analyze all of Chick Hicks' fucking sponsor stickers. Now the images are not very high quality and I also resorted to pausing and unpausing the movie, but still, I tried. Also in some cases he has multiple stickers for the same brand.

Here's the list:

Shiny Wax

Vitoline

Octane Gain

Nitroade

Mood Springs

No Stall

Leak Less

Clutch Aid

Tank Coat

Fiber Fuel

Shifty Drug

Bumper $ave

View Zeen

Easy Idle

RPM

Motor Oil

Transberry Juice

Spare Mint

Gasprin

Lil Torquey Pistons

Sidewall Shine

Trunk Fresh

Retread

Faux Wheel Drive

Sludgee (I think that's what it says? I can't quite tell)

Stop (there's more words on the sticker but I can only make out the word stop)

Tow Cap Hitch Protectors

Texas Tea

I don't think I even got them all. This is just what I could make out. Feel free to add on if you caught any I missed. God he's such a sell out (and yet I enjoy him immensely).

[bootleg-cal-weathers]

There are so many more slogans that are just a little funky and weird- HtB (Hostile takeover bank) who sponsors Chick Hicks, and later Rowdy Revvin' Busch: "You won't leave your garage without us!"

Vitolines who sponsors Chase and Brick "Feul full of vim and vigor... with Vitoline! For older, active cars!"

Octain Gain who sponsors Bobby and Danny "A quart a day keeps roadside assistance away

Then IGNTR who sponsors Jackson?! (like this is a direct hit to Lighting?!) "My IGNTR Liquid adrenaline will make you faster than lightning."

Nitroade who sponsors Tim Treadless! "Do long drives make you want to crash? Keep awake with Nitroade."

This is proves so much that Jackson/Tim are hooked on energy drinks and I find this all so funny. Please-

PLEASE-

HtB sounds like a threat ngl 💥

there all so funny 😭

[aurora-ze-aquarius]

IF YOU LIKED DINOCO'S, THEN THERE IS SO MANY OTHERS I CAN SHARE WITH YOU!! (Literally I spend my life trying to scrounge for all the cars content I can)

htB (Hostile Takeover Bank) - Chick Hicks, Rowdy Revvin' Busch "You won't dare leave your garage without us."

Octane Gain - Bobby Swift, Danny Swerves "A quart a day keeps roadside assistance away!"

Leak Less - Claude Scruggs, Brian Spark, George New-Win "Watch your wheels!" "Guarantees you Leak Less with our Adult Drip Ban protection!"

Nitroade - Aiken Axler, Joltsen, Phil Tankson, Tim Treadless "Do long drives make you want to crash? Keep awake with Nitroade"

IGNTR - Jackson Storm "My IGNTR Liquid Adrenaline will make you faster than lightning!" (Literally a direct hit towards Lighting McQueen, DInoco, and Rusteez?!)

Lil' Torquey Pistons - Ralph Carlow, Lee, Jr., Spikey Fillups "Gets rid of that embarassing cylinder gas the Lil' Torquey way!"

Vitoline - Birck Yardely, Chase Racelott "Feel full of vim and vigor... with Vitoline! For older, active Cars."

AND LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY MORE?? IT'S JUST- ALL SO FUNKY AND SOME OF THE SPONSORS HAVE TWO SLOGANS IT'S ALL JUST- AAAAA

THESE ARE LITERALLY SO FUN OMG

I wonder if there are any clips of the guys saying that. I highly doubt it, but imagine, it would be so cool to see their advertisements and stuff.

ALSO

YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME JACKSON DIDN'T WRITE THAT SLOGAN HIMSELF LMFAOO

[strawberrylapin]

“Did you see the state of Chuck’s car? The insane pile-up you caused? You could’ve killed somebody, y’know that?!”

“But I didn’t.”

[whipplefilter]

Here's another one of those business-of-racing asks: What do you think are the best-selling concession item and best-selling piece of merchandise at any given Piston Cup race? Does it vary from track to track, or how far along the current season is, or is it pretty consistent?

Anon, I'm going to be honest with you, the first question that came to mind was "...do they have raced sheet metal in the Carsverse," after which I never recovered.

I think it could go either way, canonically. Mater sleeps in a junkyard with a bunch of car parts, and this is explicitly not creepy/very normal. We also have the Cars 1 deleted scene with Lightning's engine swap nightmare, but I think that was less about the literal metal than the ways the ghost in the machine traveled with it. (My headcanon is that major repairs carry the risk of untethering your ghost, but getting an engine swap doesn't automatically carry your ghost with your engine. The WGP cars with blown engines didn't die, and especially for racecars you're getting overhauled on the regular--to an extent a regular car would likely find frightening, but that racecars understand as par for the course.)

We also have the alleyway headlights-for-sale scene in Cars 2, but again, I think the horror of that came from the headlights being in the wrong place than it did the fact that a car was selling used headlights in an alley.

It's one of those things where the cars are cars and are not 1:1 analogous to humans, where selling like. Souvenir arms or skin would be creepy. (Though frankly, ymmv on that, too, maybe--across the world and across history humans do keep bodily mementos.)

Anyway, they probably do have raced sheet metal, and it's probably not creepy. They probably also have guys who make raced win and/or checkers-or-wreckers diecasts, and those are also very popular!

But since cars don't wear shirts and vinyl wraps are a good deal more expensive than T-shirts, I think the merch tends more towards homegoods than human NASCAR stuff. Mudflaps, for instance. Lightning McGrills. Honestly, the stuff Sterling had mocked up in Cars 3 had the energy of a Big 10 sportsball merch store, so if you're not a car who's into diecasts or sheet metal, there's probably some Piston Cup-branded Nitroade or a rally tent or something with your name on it!

Cars character of the week

Tim Treadless

Hi guys, sorry for being inactive lately but I am back.

So a while ago I said I would focus on some obscure characters for cars character of the week, I still plan on doing this.

So for this week I have chosen the Nitroade next gen, Tim Treadless! I pick him because he is probably one of my favourite next gens. I just love his design and the choice of colours. I love the way the orange fades in to the black.

[hunty627]

This is my custom Joltsen from Cars the video game. He’s a race car who’s sponsor is Nitroade hi energy drink. I made him out of a second Aiken Axler, who he looks like. Unlike Aiken who has the number 28, Joltsen has the number 52. He was seen passing by Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks at Smasherville Speedway, who were arguing about Chick Hicks paying off DJ, Boost, Wingo and Snot Rod to steal McQueen’s gear from Mack’s trailer. Chick was the one who wished Joltsen good luck at the race. He said "Oh hey, how you doin' guy, didn't see ya - hey, best of luck to ya." That made Joltsen smile.

[eliana55226838]

Yo, Prince K. If you were a Piston Cup Racer, what would you race for?!? (Dinoco, Nitroade, Bumper Save, etc).

-”Kalub: I'm sorry, I'm not a runner and because of my size and design, I doubt I will be one day, but I've always admired Dinoco.”

[the-kings-tail-fin]

So In the trailer for cars 3, Treadless is the only one that looks at LMQ fly, and then there was this head cannon you wrote where Tim brought LMQ an anonymous gift when he was hospitalized. Do you think they ever became acquainted or something? How would they ever have a convo? Could you do a small snippet or smthn? Thanks!

Man the amount of asks I’ve gotten lately about headcanons I came up with a very long time ago is impressing me. Y’all’ve been digging through the archives! I love you guys

Tim never planned on a real, conscious encounter with Lightning. He could have made it happen, had he wanted, but he’s not that sort of guy. Sometimes, and he knows this personally, the best thing you can do for a celebrity is leave them alone.

“What do you think about Treadless?” Cruz asked after practice. “He’s really been picking it up here lately. Think he’s a threat?”

Lightning looked over to the Nitroade stall, and for a fleeting moment remembered Aiken. What’s he up to nowadays? Probably retired up in the mountains of Japan, avoiding all the Nitroade he could, giving it away in gift baskets…

“Team’s definitely been on the up-tick,” McQueen answered. “I wouldn’t worry about him. Anything he can do, so can you. Might just have to try a little harder.”

“Yep, that’s what I thought you’d say.”

Cruz shut her engine off and waited in the pit stall. They were game to make a few more laps before practice time ran out. The cool down felt good.

Treadless ran lap after consecutive lap. Four minutes before the timer ran out, he posted the fastest time.

“Huh, look at that.” Lightning pointed to the scoreboard.

Cruz frowned and cranked her engine. “Time to get after it then.”

“No, no, actually, wait.” Lightning had an idea. “Save it.”

“What?”

“Let him think he’s the best now. You’ll get him in qualifying.”

“Oh.” Cruz shut her engine back off. 

Qualifying was the next day - what would a little more practice hurt? 

“Okay.”

Lightning backed off the box when the time ran out. Cruz joined him as he cruised toward their team tent.

“Wanna say what’s on your mind?” Cruz prodded.

Lightning smiled. “Oh, I just like to play little games every now and then.”

They passed behind the Nitroade pit stall as their competitor wrapped up, celebrating their hold of the quick time. Cruz squinted in suspicion as Lightning slowed to a crawl.

“Oh, you’ve got it in the bag now, Cruz,” Lightning exclaimed in an obnoxiously fake, loud voice. “Practice is a joke these days anyway. Qualifying, now that’s your specialty. These guys won’t see you coming, what with the new changes and all.”

Cruz started to wither in embarrassment. McQueen tapped her on the side in encouragement. She perked up stiffly, awkward as it felt.

“Uh, sir, yes sir!” she exclaimed equally loudly and twice as off key.

Lightning saw Tim staring at him over the pit wall, confused. It was working. 

Cruz ushered him on their way. She couldn’t get away fast enough.

“Why did you do that?” she squeaked.

“Oh, come on now, that was fun! Sometimes you gotta get in their heads and play a little game. For fun!”

“You and I have different ideas of fun.”

“But Tim doesn’t know that.”

“What was that about?” Tim asked.

“Oh, don’t worry about it, he used to do that to his competitors when he raced,” he crew chief explained. “He knows you’re a threat now.”

Me? A threat? ME?

Tim flashed back to that time he snuck into that hospital in L.A. and left the legend a gift. A stupid gift it had been. A gift basket full of Nitroade stuff. Might as well had left a banner saying “FROM TIM TREADLESS��. Lightning had never approached him about it, but he had to have known. This was it. This was payback for gifting stupid obvious anonymous gifts.

“I’m doomed.”
