Lightning Mc Queen
Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, and occasionally called "Stickers" by his girlfriend Sally (a light blue Porsche roadster), is an anthropomorphic racecar and is the main protagonist in the 2006 animated Pixar film Cars, and the secondary protagonist of its sequel Cars 2. He was named after Pixar animator Glenn McQueen (who died from skin cancer in 2002), not actor and noted racing buff Steve McQueen. He is based on generic NASCAR vehicles, but with design influences from the Mazda Miata and Dodge Viper . Late in the film, he is painted much like the Chevrolet Corvette C1.

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or queen:
“The lightning there is peculiar; it is so convincing! When it strikes a thing, it doesn’t leave enough of that thing behind for you to tell whether—well, you’d think it was something valuable, and a Congressman had been there.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
