Trivia
- In real-life airports, security gates scan people for anything metal they have on them. Cars being made of metal, it is surprising to see they make use of such security gates.
- The security gates (including the one Alex goes in) and the conveyor belts have changed in the Cars world so that cars will be able to use them.
- He is named after Pixar employee Alex Mandel.
