## His Good Ranking

### His Heroic Deeds

#### *Cars*

* He helped The King finish the last lap of the Dinoco 400 tiebreaker race after Chick severely injured him by ramming him off the track.

#### *Cars 2*

* He both mentally and financially helped the Radiator Springs residents by moving in with them, being one of their first customers in years and helping them become popular again.
* He helped Mater save both London and the World Grand Prix racers by helping to get to the bottom of the identity of the boss of the Lemons.

#### *Cars 3*

* He let Cruz get her chance at being a race car, nearly sacrificing his career in the process.
* He in general cares a lot about his friends and is willing to make risks for them.
* Although he had a lot of corrupting qualities in the first film, he shreds nearly all of them in the sequels.

### Why He Doesn't Stand Out?

* He fails the admirable standards of *Cars* too much.
	+ Although Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell had more resources than him, he still fails the standards to Mater, who was the main source of rescuing many from the Lemons' antics, and arguably Sarge, who saved McQueen by switching out McQueen's fuel and bringing his affiliates along to defeat the Lemons.
	+ Furthermore, his best act was helping a retired racer win out of selflessness and saving a race track, with stopping Miles Axlerod being shared with Mater, making him very bog-standard.
* Despite shredding most of his corrupting traits, he still maintains his arrogance on occasions. Two good examples of this include *Cars 2*, where he snaps at Mater and said he did not want his help, and *Cars 3*, where he acted very ignorant towards Cruz who wanted to be a race car and took most of the help, she gave him for granted.

## Trivia

* He is one of the few protagonists to fail the standards too much, along with Snow White, Dumbo, and Aurora.
* He is one of the few Heroic Benchmarks who is an object that are modes of transportation, along with Casey Jr, Luigi, Guido, Mack, and Cruz Ramirez.
* Coincidentally, his arch-rival, Chick Hicks, is Villainous Benchmark (VB).
