Snot Rod is a supporting character in Cars. He is also a muscle car who suffers from severe allergies and a member of the Import Racers.
Background[]
Snot Rod took his doctor's advice and headed west to find some clean, crisp mountain air to relieve his chronic allergies. On the way he met up with Boost, DJ, and Wingo. The highly modified car group set him as the gang's head of security and crowd control. He still has allergies and explosive sneezing attacks, but his ability to clear the road of pesky traffic is unmatched and much appreciated by his buddies who like the road all to themselves.[1]
Appearances[]
Cars[]
One night while driving on the interstate, the Tuner Cars notice a drowsy Mack and decide to prank him for their own amusement. Snot Rod then watches his gangmates put Mack to sleep and joins in taunting the sleeping truck after Wingo nudges the latter onto the rumble strips on the side of the road. It is at that point, however, that Snot Rod lets out an explosive sneeze, forcing them all to flee the scene and jolting Mack awake from his brief nap.
Snot Rod is later seen during the epilogue alongside the other Tuner Cars when they speed past Sheriff, who chases and eventually captures them. He then punishes the gang for their reckless actions by forcing them to use Bessie to repair a road.
