Lightning McQueen is a statutory rapist

    The age of consent for cars is "As soon as they come off the lot".
    Epic Film Fact: Lightning McQueen, star of the 2006 blockbuster film "Cars" is a statutory rapist. In the film Lightning meets and falls in love with a car named Sally Carrera, a 2002 Porsche 911. This makes Sally only 4 years old during the film (which takes place in 2006). Lightning on the other hand is a stock car and while his age isn't expressly given, we know that an average stock car can race for 20 to 30 years. Because lightning is the best we can assume that he is 30 years old at the end of "Cars 3", which takes place in 2017, 11 years after "Cars". This would make Lightning 19 years old when he meets Sally. As the majority of the films take place in the United States, which has the age of consent set at 17 years old, every time Lightning sticks his engine shaft in Sally's exhaust pipe he is committing statutory rape.

    Broken legal system of the Cars universe

      Lighting may have a serious lawsuit on his hands.
      Can we talk about the broken legal system of the Cars universe? In the film, Lightning McQueen is speeding down route 66 when a cop car starts chasing him. Just as he's about to pull over, the cop car starts blowing gaskets. Lightning assumes this is gunfire and freaks out, resulting in him accidentally destroying the town. Lighting was under the impression that he was being fired upon unprovoked, giving him a valid legal argument for his reckless driving. The next day, Mater is assigned to defend him in trial, despite Lightning making it clear that he has his own attorney. He isn't even given a phone call, or a chance to pay bail, the trial takes place the very next day. Of course Mater blows the trial because he's a dumbass, leaving Lightning stranded in this town before the biggest race of his life. Hell, they wouldn't even let him make contact with the outside world, leading to everybody thinking he's missing. Lighting may have a serious lawsuit on his hands.

      Did 9/11 happen in the Cars universe?

        ka-chow
        The thing I really like about Planes is that we learn that WWII happened in the Cars universe. Which means there was a Cars Hitler, a Cars holocaust, a Cars Pacific War, a Cars D-Day, a Cars nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a Cars Rape of Nanking, a Cars Battle of Iwo Jima...
        This leads to so many important questions, like: were the Cars Little Boy and Fat Man nukes sentient? Was it a suicide mission? Are ALL Cars nuclear weapons sentient? Did Tsar Bomba have a personality?
        What kind of car was Car Hitler? A VW? A forklift?
        Was there a Cars 9/11? Were the planes hijacked, or were the planes themselves radicalized?
        I could go on
        Edit: I just realized a Cars 9/11 gives a whole new layer of meaning to the phrase "let's roll"
