    The second movie is all about spies, which means there was a Cold War, and if there was a Cold War, there was a Russia, and if there was a Russia, there was a Stalin and a Lenin, which means there were communists, and eventually a Red Scare and a McCarthy, which means there was a nuclear scare and, naturally, nuclear weapons.

    The Porsche girl character, I can’t remember her name because I’m 40, had one of those lower-back tattoos, which opens up a whole other series of “which means” implications that I absolutely do not want to get into.

    This rabbit hole goes much deeper than Pixar intended.

    Reminder that Cars is a pro-eugenics franchise, and probably would have depicted the smashing of “lemon” cars as a heroic act.

    I wonder how the nonexistence of horses in the Umamusume franchise affected war, and how Hitler viewed the horse girls.

      Yeah they may have made those jeeps for a war against Car Soviet Union instead.

      I can easily understand why cars would be opposed to Car Stalin.
