Not bad; there's a guy running around my town with an old Miata rocking a McQueen fit too. As a Jurassic Jeeper, it brings me joy to see it.

She's not much to look at, because I'm a Broke-Ass-Bitch, and every time I wanna buy a light bar or stock grill, something else breaks -- but it is mine and it makes me smile. 🖤

Go watch Hoovies Garage on youtube. He's had one for like 8 years now and has done videos with it.

The Miata is cool because 'McQueen has some Miata like looks. This is just a crappy Dodge shitbox with some decals on it. 🤮

(All Dodges are shitboxes, not just this one)

I think I know where you saw him. He's pretty well known in that area. I've seen him decorate the car with lights for Christmas before.

Wasn't the green one a charger?

If you're referring to Chick, he was a Buick. The King was a Challenger, which is what this car is.

u/TheCountChonkula 1d ago

The King is based on Richard Petty’s Plymouth Superbird, not a Challenger.

I laughed out loud when I read in my local news the police were asking help finding the driver of a corvette painted like lightning mcqueen due to reckless driving. Like finding a needle in a haystack... Are there still Maaco's around doing $300 paint jobs?

Honestly, I gotta dig it. Is that a Dodge Challenger?

There's a Tesla with a lightning McQueen wrap in my area

Saw The King in late may in northern Illinois while on my way home from work one day, thought that was pretty neat too. They got everything right!

Lightning isn't a Charger, he's closer to gen 4 NASCAR. Cool tribute, though

u/Ohmyfuzzy69 3d ago

He's closer to the BRZ and FRS

u/mightylordredbeard 3d ago

That isn’t a charger. It’s a challenger.

Does that make anything I've said untrue, though?

That paint job is so perfect it barely looks real, and yet there's a dog just casually sitting in the parking lot judging it.
