Cars/Errors

This is a list of errors from the movie Cars.
==Errors==
===Dash Boardman's color===
While the paparazzi are taking pictures of Lightning McQueen at the winner's circle, Dash Boardman is among many of the photographers and is depicted in his correct green livery. However, once the two security SUVs arrive to take Mia and Tia away from McQueen, Boardman's colors are switched with another cameraman.
===Tractor Tipping===
When Mater and McQueen sneak out in the middle of the night to go Tractor Tipping, Mater demonstrates how to play by tipping two tractors. Mater tells McQueen to try, and then, he revs his engine, which, in turn, tips all of the tractors, including the ones Mater tipped, even though they should still have been lying down.
===Televisions===
Darrell Cartrip announces that McQueen has blown a tire, which is then shown on the Motor Speedway of the South's television screens. Three seconds after the first shot of the screen, a clip of the other TV is shown, which is airing the same footage as seen before.
===Confetti===
When Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks and The King drive out onto the victory stand, the confetti start to fall down in their direction. Despite that, not a single flake is shown hitting any of them, despite pouring down on them. Additionally, more flakes of confetti can be seen under them.
===Disappearing Delinquents===
Snot Rod and Wingo are shown on Mack's left while McQueen's trailer door begins to open. Once a close-up of Lightning beginning to slip is shown, Wingo and Snot Rod are no longer beside the trailer. Once the camera pans back to them, they are seen again.
===Snot Rod's engine===
When close-ups of the Delinquent Road Hazards are being shown, a shot of Snot Rod's engine is shown. As he revs it, the throttle butterflies are closing, when they should instead be opening.
===Reflection===
Before the final race begins, Chick Hicks is bragging to Lightning by showing off one of his stickers, a design with a "C" in the center of a thundercloud. The "C" reflects onto McQueen, although the C is displayed forwards, whereas it should instead be displayed in a "mirrored" way.
===Misplaced Wheels===
What appears to be a rendering error can be seen during a pan of the crowd at the Los Angeles International Speedway. Vern's wheel can be seen going through his fender.
In a later point in the movie, Guido can be seen juggling tires while Luigi is offering service to Minny and Van. One of his tires appears to "overstep" his bodywork.
===Mack's Headphones===
When the camera shows the Radiator Springs townsfolk as McQueen's pit crew for the very first time, Mack is seen wearing headphones. Once the camera displays a close-up of them, Mack is no longer wearing headphones. The next few scenes of the race have Mack wearing his headphones again.
===Piston Cup position inconsistencies===
Winford Bradford Rutherford is the first car that was involved in the crash caused by Chick Hicks, and was slammed towards the wall into Murray Clutchburn. After Chick said, "Get through that, McQueen!", James Cleanair is actually shown in Murray's place.
During the final lap of the first race, the last two cars continually change from Kevin Racingtire and Slider Petrolski to Todd Marcus and Claude Scruggs, despite the fact that the four cars are nowhere near each other, as Todd was in 13th place, Kevin was in 22nd, Slider was in 23rd and Claude did not finish. Still in this scene, Ernie Gearson appears in place of Ryan Shields and Winford Bradford Rutherford appears in place of Todd Marcus.
Before Chick Hicks hit Winford Bradford Rutherford, Murray Clutchburn was on the side of Floyd Mulvihill and Mac iCar and Crusty Rotor was seen behind them. But after Chick Hicks hits Winford Bradford Rutherford, Floyd, Crusty and Mac disappeared.
When Lightning rides on the wall to pass Rusty Cornfuel and Floyd Mulvihill, he passes Winford Bradford Rutherford and Sage VanDerSpin, and goes to Slider Petrolski. Past him are Todd Marcus, Ernie Gearson, and Winford is strangely on the front of the pack.
When the car crash starts, after the camera zooms out, the viewer can see that Eugene Carbureski made it through the wreck, clearly, but in the next few frames, it shows Eugene in the wreck, clearly slamming on James Cleanair's bumper.
Chuck Armstrong and a few other racers can be seen in the restarting lap despite being all badly damaged to continue racing.
Aiken Axler was seen in the Shiny Wax pit stop.
When McQueen's tires blow up and the camera shows the back of the pack, Eugene Carbureski appears in the place of Aiken Axler and James Cleanair appears in the place of Kevin Shiftright, this error can be seen at full screen version of the movie.
During the crash, Todd Marcus can be seen very briefly in the left of the screen just he was seen roof-to-roof with Claude Scruggs. In some moments later again, he was seen crashed with Claude Scruggs.
During the crash, McQueen passes many racers, but they are still seen in the next shots.
===The King's eye color===
During the beginning of the film, The King's eyes are brown, but during and immediately after the wreck caused by Chick Hicks, his eyes are instead the same color as his paint. Later, during the film's epilogue, The King is seen at the racing museum with his correct brown eyes.
===Amount of Piston Cup Racers===
In the very first scene of the film, Lightning is talking to himself before he exits his trailer, and claims that there will be "1 winner, 42 losers", implying that there will be about over 43 cars, when in reality, there are only 36 cars competing in the actual race. In the scoring pylon, the numbers 2, 3, 5, 9, 27, 44, 65, 100 and 113 are shown (somehow making it 45 cars). There are no officially known and/or named actual Piston Cup racers in around 2005-2006 to use these numbers.
===Chief RPM===
In the close-up shot of "Petrol" Pulaski giving Winford Bradford Rutherford a bottle of Nitroade, Chief RPM is depicted in a yellow color. But he is later shown in his correct white livery in the shot of all of the pit crews.
===Mater's wheel color(s)===
In some scenes, both of Mater's rear wheels are brown. But in other scenes, they are yellow on the right, and silver on the left.
===Duplicate Characters===
During the scene when a few Piston Cup racers are in the pits, two James Cleanair's can be seen in the same scene, still in this scene, there's two Claude Scruggs' in the scene. Billy Oilchanger was in front of Davey Apex and Dale Jr. and when they pass there is another Billy Oilchanger behind Crusty Rotor.
===Darren Leadfoot with yellow rims===
In the scene where Darren Leadfoot is following Sage VanDerSpin, his rims are yellow, but for the rest of his scenes, his rims are black.
===Wrong Race Track Stadium ===
During Lightning McQueen's third Dinoco Daydream, when Frank chases The King, Chick Hicks and Lightning McQueen the race takes place at the Dinoco 400 even though it should have taken place in Los Angeles International Speedway. 
===Transparent racers===
Crusty Rotor can be seen behind the motorhomes, even though he was supposed to be blocked by them.

== Trivia ==
* The number 113 appearing on the scoring pylon is likely a reference to A113, which was the studio code for the animation classroom at the California Institute of the Arts.
