Lightning McQueen is a humble hero. At the end of the 2006 film Cars, the animated racecar hero voiced by Owen Wilson has the opportunity to fulfill his dreams, join his hero Strip “The King” Weathers, and level up his sponsorship deal with a new blue paint job and support from Dinoco. McQueen stays with his Rust-Eze squad, but the sliding doors moment has been on Cars fans' minds ever since.
