The Delinquent Road Hazards are the secondary antagonists of the 2006 Disney•Pixar animated film Cars. They are a group of four cars who intentionally cause danger on the highway.
Background
Physical appearences
Boost (purple neon/silver Nissan Silvia (S15) with a custom body kit resembling JGTC cars, voiced by Jonas Rivera), Devon "DJ" Montgomery Johnston III (blue customized/slammed Suzuki Sidekick/Geo Tracker three-door SUV, voiced by E.J. Holowicki), Wingo (green and purple 2004 Acura RSX, voiced by Adrian Ochoa), and Snot Rod (orange Dodge Challenger with a blower, voiced by Lou Romano).
Personalities
They like to intentionally cause danger on the highway, speed and do reckless driving. They also seem to like rap music as DJ played rap music while speeding along the Interstate. Also, when Snot Rod sneezes, it causes him to naturally speed up.
Appearances
Cars
The Tuner Cars catch Mack nodding off to sleep on the way to California. They amuse themselves by playing a prank on a drowsy Mack, by putting him to sleep with soothing music (Kenny G's "Songbird"), and nudging him onto the rumble strips along the shoulder. The resulting vibration inadvertently causes Mack's trailer door to open and a sleeping McQueen to roll out of the trailer. When the chronically sniffly Snot Rod sneezes, Mack is startled awake and the Tuner Cars accelerate away, leaving the still-sleeping McQueen behind out on the highway near Radiator Springs, thus making the Tuner Cars mostly responsible for McQueen's disappearance.
The gang ultimately gets their comeuppance during the end credits of the movie when they make the mistake of speeding in Radiator Springs, causing them to be apprehended by the Sheriff for reckless driving and destruction of property and remanded to the impound yard to do their time. It is then later revealed that Doc Hudson himself sentenced the Tuner Cars to messy roadwork of towing Bessie for their actions. It could be implied that they would be released from Radiator Springs for good behavior if they fixed the road.
Other appearances
The Tuner Cars later appear in the short Tokyo Mater with the exception of Snot Rod. They did another reckless driving causing Sheriff to chase them.
Video games
Cars: The Video Game
In the Cars video game, two specific levels relating to the Tuner Cars are called "Delinquent Road Hazards" and "High Speed Heist".
In Delinquent Road Hazards, McQueen tries to enter Tailfin Pass only to find them blocking the road. Boost tells McQueen that the road is closed but McQueen believes its okay. DJ then responds that its closed to McQueen, in which he finds out that the word meant to get lost. McQueen then challenges the tuner cars that if he wins, they let him pass.
