Wingo had always stayed in the background when he was in school. He didn't like being noticed, since being noticed might lead to being bullied. Then his mother had died, and his father had sent him to a very strict boarding school. In an act of rebellion, Wingo had painted himself pink and orange tiger striped.
He never attempted to blend in again.
Ever since he was just a little car, Boost had hated his shape. He looked so, well, ordinary! He had begged his parents to turn him into a limousine or a heavy duty pick-up truck and had been crushed when he learned that such operations were still the stuff of science fiction. Instead, he had gotten himself a gorgeous silver and violet paint job the day he turned eighteen.
After Snot Rod found a medicine which actually made his allergies less severe, he was asked out on three dates. By three different cars. In the same week.
Snot Rod was so freaked out that he stopped taking his medicine until he had written a suitably polite but firm "no thanks" script to recite for his unwanted admirers.
DJ was heartbroken when his brother had stolen and destroyed his CDs. Even now, thinking about it still hurt. His only comfort was knowing that he had ripped every one of those CDs and had all the tracks and information stored on his computer... And that his brother hadn't ever ripped the CDs DJ had stolen from him. Pain could certainly make revenge sweet.
When Finn McMissile first met the Delinquent Road Hazards, they had just been spying on him. Finn had been fighting for his life against a couple of amazingly fast Volkswagen Beetles and the Road Hazards had seen his weaponry. He had no choice but to bully them into being his informants.
Not long after Mater and Holley stopped dating, DJ asked Holley out. She refused. DJ saw Holley and Finn kissing during a visit to Radiator Springs a few months later.
Life was so unfair sometimes.
Notes:
I don't think any of these are drabbles. They're just little memory-thingummies to help get my imagination start running again, and maybe make you smile. Maybe.
Whatever they are, I hope you liked them!
Oh, and I posted them here because I didn't think they were good enough to get their own story post thingummy. If you think they should be moved, please tell me! :)
