Speedy (A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure)

Speedy (not to be confused with Speedy from the later series Tayo; formerly only in seasons 1 and 2) is Sparky's wife and is one of the main characters in the Car's Life series. She is noticeably based on a 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera (996).

Why She Shouldn't Survive

 * 1) First of all, much even like with "Bumper" (the purple Hummer customer), she is very extremely unlikable, her voice actor is very incredibly annoying, and she is absolutely unbearable to listen to as well, since she yells and squeals every time she speaks (though almost; not all the time). She is an obnoxious girly-type character who is also often whiny and over-excited about everything! She sounds like scratching fingernails against someone's brain (which Bobsheaux had even described in the review), and/or nails on a chalkboard! She is also insufferable too as well.
 * 2) * In addition, it's also literally as if everything she says would end with an exclamation mark (!) symbol because of how high-pitched she yells!
 * 3) * Also, to add the insult of the injury, her crying of death shown ON-SCREEN is painfully even worse to listen to when the tow truck Igor (one of Diesel's minions) gets a wreck from her.
 * 4) * Her voice in general sounds like a bad imitation of Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory, except even more high-pitched, whiny and screechy beyond belief that it gives Fred Figglehorn a run for his money.
 * 5) It is worth noting that her design explains that she is an actual rip-off of Sally from the Cars series, but except with eyes as the headlights (just like all of the other characters in all of the entire Car's Life films), painted in pink, lacking badges/emblems (of course most likely due to copyrighting and licensing), and doesn't have a rear spoiler. Also, if you have NOT even noticed, not to mention she also even more closely enough actually resembles a foreshadow (or prediction) of "Candice" from later other content. The 2009 Cars-related game Race-O-Rama, as she looks very extremely similar to Speedy, who is (ironically) also based on a pink Porsche (although slightly different), but unlike with Speedy, she is WAY better.
 * 6) Countless plot holes involving her:
 * 7) * How could she not notice she was using oil instead of wiper fluid first, but Norbert did notice it after?
 * 8) * Why couldn't she and Sparky use the robot arms seen in the other cars to get off their parking boots?
 * 9) * Why didn't she and Sparky notice Igor head for them?
 * 10) * If Diesel did kill Piston, then why does she want to kill Sparky and Speedy?
 * 11) * MAJOR PLOT HOLE: Of course, how did Speedy somehow survive when she got chopped into pieces?
 * 12) Lackluster modeling similar to most other characters. Despite Speedy being a female character, she has a strange outline on her mouth, given off an impression that she has a mustache!
 * 13) Three animation/rendering errors: After the gas pump Norbert is set on fire, her front left wheel rotates itself even though she and Sparky weren't even in motion. When she finally notices the flashing light up ahead far away (which later actually turns out that it was Diesel), her rear left wheel stops a bit while in motion. And when Diesel puts the boot on her, the boot clips a bit through the ground.
 * 14) The character as said in #1 pointer. Arguably an extremely pointless scene is that she "helps" the purple Hummer customer Bumper, accidentally smearing oil on Bumper's windshield, mistaking it for wiper fluid at first, and Bumper "can't see", then drives in reverse lasting for over two minutes!
 * 15) It's nothing more than a Sparky and Speedy torture moment as Diesel captures them and has Igor attempt to kill them.
 * 16) While it's nice to see herself redeemed and redesigned until in the second film, the writers ruin it by having her survive.
 * 17) And to top it all off, as said in plot hole #5, she somehow managed to survive anyways shortly after the events of the first film!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite her sadly getting survived coming back alive during the wreck from Igor in the first film, thankfully, she later still decides to redeem herself right in the second film, Car's Life 2, giving her a much better, tolerable, and more serious voice actor, which wasn't as annoying as in the first film. Also worth noting is a better and more "cartoony-like" design, to look like the lovechild of Holley Shiftwell from Cars 2, or a mutant Chevron car.
 * 2) There was an unintentionally funny moment involving her, which is her shrieking "GAS LEECHES!".
 * 3) Seeing her getting killed on-screen was considered an awesome moment in the entire film to most Cars fans, and even Car's Life fans and non-fans.

Trivia

 * By far, she is the only character out of all in the Car's Life series to show wreckage. But sadly though, there was no visible wreckage when Sparky ran into Fender during the beginning.
