Boost (Pixar's Cars)

## Possession And Paraphernalias

**Boost** is the leader of the Delinquent Road Hazards, an antagonistic gang of street racers with a collective affinity for body modification. According to his ***Car Finder*** biography, Boost once worked in a garage for the elderly, where he befriended a drop-tank racer who turned him onto the unorthodox practice of racing with nitrous. His newfound interests led him outside his hometown of ***Nitropolis***, where he eventually met DJ, Snot Rod, and Wingo, with whom he formed a gang. The four cars are known for their obnoxious lifestyle, and have a recurring habit for bringing trouble wherever they go, especially for Lightning McQueen and his friends. He does so by speeding and reckless driving which he likes to do. He has a love for rap music much like the other Delinquent Road Hazards.
Boost is recognizable for his standout appearance, sporting a sleek, black spoiler and an elaborate network of exhaust pipes, as well as, most notably, the three nitrous boost canisters fastened above his roof. He is a ***Kyoku*** Jitsu, which, in real life, is based on the 1999 Nissan Silvia S15.

## History

### *Cars*

 File:Boost5.jpg  In *Cars*, Boost, DJ, Snot Rod, and Wingo are carelessly weaving through traffic on the ***interstate*** as a sleepy Mack is trying his best to transport Lightning McQueen through an all-nighter. After DJ and Boost pull up beside him and start pushing him around, Wingo turns his lights on to discover that they are actually next to Lightning McQueen's hauler. Meanwhile, one of Lightning's toys fall of the shelf and onto the footplate, causing Mack's trailer to open, leaving him hanging on the edge. Snot Rod begins to prepare a sneeze, causing the others to speed away to get out of the blast radius. The noise causes Mack to jolt awake and McQueen to fall out of the trailer.

Later, he and his gang appeared in the epilogue, where they were speeding past Sheriff and starts chasing them. They were eventually impounded and paving a road with Bessie, much like how Lightning McQueen was.

## General information

### Physical description

 File:Boost3.jpg  Boost is a ***Kyoku Jitsu***. This design seems to inspire his ***Tokyo*** counterpart, ***Kabuto***'s. He also has a high resemblance to a 1999 ***Nissan*** Silvia (S15) with a custom body kit that closely resembles the Japanese Grand Tour Championship cars. He sports carbon fiber panels. His paint job looks like a million dollars. His wheel rims compliment sleek body style. He spends a night booted in Mater's impound lot.

His license plate simply says his name, "BOOST", and it also states that his hometown is ***Nitropolis***.

Boost is painted a faint purple color, on his doors and the outside of his rims. He has a big grey spoiler, and three boost tanks mounted on his rear windshield. His name is painted in purple along both of his side doors, and his license plate reads the same thing.

### Personality and traits

Boost is a delinquent that appears to not pay attention to the rules, as he and his gang are constantly getting arrested for breaking the law. He also likes to speed like the rest of his gang. He has a love for practical jokes, as he and his friends put Mack to sleep in the middle of the highway.
