    Just a place to put my humanized cars stuff. All somewhat related but can stand alone. Not in any kind of special order.

    Summary

    As the years went by and she completed her accelerated degrees, she grew accustomed to being an island surrounded on all sides by boats that would never dock. She filled her time studying, working hard to become the first person in her family to graduate college. By the time she graduated early from her bachelors degree, she had her sights set on law school. Sally knew she would find people who understood that self-driven ambition was the other side of the coin to a bone deep desire for connection. They had to understand. She just had to become a lawyer, had to become more than she was and they’d find her. She thought she found it, with Warren. They’d sat next to each other in a lecture during their second year of law school. He asked her to compare notes and actually seemed interested in what she’d highlighted. Comparing notes quickly became study sessions which became partner work which turned into pizza nights with less note taking and more talking.

    Or; Sally's lonely and doesn't think anyone will ever match her until some hothead in bright red proves sometimes your best match is just the person willing to learn.

    Summary

    “It’s not Lightning, by the way” the kid nearly whispers, picking at the frayed hem on the ankle of his sweatpants.

    Doc turns to look at him fully, “What’s not?”

    “My name.” He doesn’t make eye contact, refuses to even let Doc try to catch his blue eyes, “Harv had me change it when I started racin’ with him.”

    Doc knew Lightning probably wasn’t the kid’s god given name. He’d been around racing long enough to know the different monikers often helped give the racer a break from being the racer when they wanted a second away from it all. He hadn’t known Lightning to share that desire. Lightning McQueen was written in all the court documents from their first meeting, on every check the kid signed to revitalize the town, even the kid’s credit card held the moniker. He’d assumed somewhere along the line, the kid had changed whatever his birth name was to his chosen name. Never really felt the need to question it.

    “It’s Montgomery.” Lightning whispered.

    Or; Lightning may have bitten off more than he can chew with his new found fame. He thought he was ready to be THE Lightning McQueen, but will he ever not be Montgomery?

    Summary

    It all started with a zipper.

    Growing up as poor as he did, whatever meager food he managed to squirrel away was never enough. His old man would sooner spend whatever money he made on booze instead of groceries for his own son. The fast metabolism he was born with didn't help maintain whatever weight he had managed to gain either.

    So when Lightning slipped on one of his only pairs of jeans to head to Flo's with Doc, he realized something.

    The zipper was stuck.

    Well. Fuck.

    (Lightning enjoys eating Flo's delicious food a little too much in Radiator Springs. He handles it okay- as in not handling it well at all. Thank God for Doc.)
