Just want to take time to make a PSA:

Rod Anon, if you are still out there, know on behalf of the Cars fandom, we love and miss you!! <333

[askthecarscharacters]

Rod Anon: Weird request coming up! Can I have some wet Rod hcs since today involved rain and rain and swimming? And Jeff? What are they like when wet? What do they do on rainy days?

Sure thing!

Rod:

He hates being wet

Will not leave the house when it's raining

If his kids want to go outside, he'll supervise from the porch and make sure they're dry before coming back inside

He def drinks warm tea on stormy days and snuggles his widdle family <3

Jeff:

Opposite! He loves the rain!

In fact, he enjoys going to the beach on rainy days (as long as there's no lightning (strikes, not McQueen XD)

Sometimes, he'll race down the beach in his rain tires (he owns a pair!) since no one is ever there

Probably comes home filthy and Ingrid makes him stay outside until the mud is washed off of him or the rain stops

Rod Anon: Got a mixed platter of asks today. First--if I give a Rod an a) Bowl of wasabi, b) smack upside the head, c) blown tire, and d) a piano. Second, you said Agent Rodney B Redline---what's the B standing for? And third, if Rod and Hangman had a roast battle, who'd win?

Oh boy! *claps*

If you give a Rod a... Part III

Bowl of wasabi: He will find Mater (bc he's def met Mater at some point) and give it to him just to get a chuckle out of it.

Smack upside the head: He will laugh, bc he has a roof, not a head. Besides, human hands are small compared to tires, so it likely won't hurt too bad.

Blown tire: He will wonder if it's a full moon, bc why else would he be that unlucky? He used up his unlucky card in Towkyo, tyvm.

A piano: He will jam to Hotel California, though he can't sing very well.

What's the B stand for in Agent Rodney B. Redline?

"Bruce" for Bruce Campbell, of course! :D

If Rod and Hangman had a roast battle, who'd win?

First of all, asks melding Cars and TGM are the way to my heart, so you've won the jackpot with me friendo :) (though you would win more with Rooster (and maybe Jeff) asks O.o).

Anyway, the roast battle would look something like this:

Hangman: I didn't know secret agents could be fooled that easily. I'm embarrassed for you.

Rod: I didn't know Top Gun pilots that graduated top of their class were placed in reserve roles. I'm embarrassed for you.

Hangman, whispering to Coyote: Dang, this guys good.

Rod Anon: Totally didn't just bust my guts laughing. Okay, I'm gonna ask more for the If you give a Rod a thingie...I give him...a snail(they're cute you cannot tell me otherwise), the keys to his doors(cough cough), Ahhh gimme a second I'm still getting over the fact that Rod is currently smirking at me (*dies*), a potted tree. And...a video recording of the whole incident. IDK why they're so random...

Haha, glad me and our other fandom friendos could keep you entertained. Also, 'if you give a Rod a thingie?' That's brilliant. Now I'm bursting my guts laughing. XD

If you give a Rod a... (Part II)

Snail: He will promptly take the snail, name him Larry, and give Larry a tank to live in with a little house that looks like SpongeBob's pineapple.

Key to his Doors (I'm assuming his actual car doors?): He will smack you bc no one opens his doors thank you very much, but them smirk bc he knows we wish we could open them so we can finally get some answers to the wonderous Carsverse.

Potted Tree: He will take the plant (slightly confused) and put it in his front yard bc they need a tree there.

Video of his Torture (Again, I'm assuming?): He's horrified and subtly calls the CIA in for a favor, bc you must be in cahoots with the lemons to have footage of that particular ordeal.

[askthecarscharacters]

Rod Anon: Growling at my ask...let's try this again. If I gave Rod wings, what'd he do with them? Repeat with: Potato(just bc), a lemon(not the car the fruit), alinol(hmmm), and parking boots...

I wish I knew what I could do to help with the sending software issues, but I'm afraid I don't have an answer for ya. :| I got this ask, though! Thank you for sending it!

If you give a Rod a......

Pair o' Wings: He would fly high in the sky over The Great Lakes (or his enemies lol) and cackle like a madman bc he feels like a superhero then proceed to choke on his own laughter bc he's also a dork.

A Potato (I'm curious what the fascination with spuds are on this site when it comes to Cars characters? XD): He'd sarcastically remind you he lives in Michigan, not Idaho.

A Lemon: He would wonder if there's some kind of hidden message due to his time with the actual lemon cars, but he'd otherwise just make some lemonade with his girls.

Allinol: He'd yeet you into next Sunday bc why do you have outlawed substance? >:|

A Parking Boot: He'd mutter some expletives before attempting to use his spy training to free himself from the situation bc Agent Rod B. Redline does not get booted, dang it.

Rod Anon: I love your works, obviously!!(though I may favor the ones with Rod more). Okay, you said Rod had some sarcastic tendencies. What does he say? Like, examples? Ridiculous HC: Yeah, this is really ridiculous but WHAT IF Rod went to the real world. What would he say/do? How would he interact? To put in perspective, this still isn't my weirdest HC...I'm shy though.

Thank you! I'm glad you like my silly rants. XD

Rod's Sarcasm:

OK, so we see him in the movie bein' all like "your mother--oh wait, your sister" ya know? Things like that.

Lots of utilizing the word 'sweetheart' condescendingly

Rod has 2 'Sarcasm-O-Meters:' the one he uses on villains and one he uses lightheartedly with his family

Example (to a bad guy): "Sorry, sweetheart, I didn't know it was villains appreciation day." *starts shooting at them and chasing them* "Oh wait, that holiday doesn't exist."

Example (talking to Shelby): *Rolling up beside her to look in the mirror* "Hey, you look pretty good today." Shelby gives him a look, but her smile is evident. "Don't I always?" she replied. Rod smirks. "Huh? I was talking about me, sweetheart." *What follows is Shelby smacking him with Rod laughing in the background.*

My thoughts on your HC:

I think this is really interesting! There's never a weird HC in my opinion, so send 'em on in if you want to! :-)

If Rod went into our world, I'm sure his first few exclamations would be too explicit to put here XD

He'd definitely think he was dreaming, until some humans come up to him and start squealing (bc I picture us Cars fans finding him first ;D), then Rod really thinks he's lost it

All these young adults canoodling him and asking him about Towkyo and Shelby and all these funny things. Rod is a bit startled how much these fangirls and fanboys know about his life, but in true Rod fashion, he basks in the ego boost.

Send me a HC of yours and I’ll talk about it with you!

Rod Anon: What hobbies did Rod have at age 16? Friends? Social awkwardness? Thanks! (Yet again my last ask never made it through...)

RODNEY MY BELOVED!!!

He was really into intramurals, like basketball, hungry hippos, and volleyball

He was a math wizard, but challenged artistically

He had one best friend named George (he makes an appearance in this here fic; check it out if you haven't already!) that did everything with him; they're childhood buddies

Rod had a major crush on Danielle, a cheerleader that all the boys wanted, up until he was a senior in high school

Rod's the youngest sibling of three, the older two being his sisters; they were all 2 years apart, so Rod was in school with the middle sister when he was 16; she loved to poke fun at him like a good older sister during lunchtime ;P

[askthecarscharacters]

Rod Anon: Apparently they didn't show up again. Anyways, I was wondering this: I'm at Rod's wedding. What's happening? Hope this gets through! Thanks!

Hmm. I'm not sure why the asks are so temperamental? Sorry, Rod Anon!

Rod and Shelby are fairly traditional; they decide to marry at a local chapel, only with close family and friends

They're both blubbering messes, of course

Along with Shelby's pearl white paintjob is a flower crown of roses and whitewalls

Rod is painted navy blue with whitewalls, a single rose on his left mirror

They have hotdogs for dinner (the first meal they shared at an Eagles concert) and cheesecake for dessert (the dessert they had when Rod proposed)

Everyone throws cinnamon and sugar (Rod and Shelby's favorite flavors) when they drive away on their honeymoon

Good thing it wasn't raining, though it was super windy, so all the sweet and spicy granules blew into people's windshields more than anything XD

All in all, a fantastic day just the way Shelby and Rod wanted it <3
