Wingo is a supporting character in Cars. He is also a body artist and a member of the Import Racers.

Background[]

In grade school, Wingo's outrageous, inappropriate paint schemes didn't comply with the school's strict paint code, and got him into a lot of trouble. These days, Wingo makes a good living designing paint schemes for an illustrious clientèle at his own custom paint shop. Now that his paint doesn't get him into trouble, Wingo and his gang find new ways to get into trouble.[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. Wingo then helps Boost nudge Mack onto the rumble strips on the side of the road and laughs away at the sleeping truck, but is forced to flee the scene when Snot Rod lets out an explosive sneeze, waking Mack up from his brief nap.

Wingo 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.

Cars Toons[]

Wingo makes a cameo in the short Tokyo Mater where he is seen drifting in Radiator Springs alongside Boost and DJ, leading Sheriff to chase after them once again.
