Sarge (Cars)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sarge

Model	Hybrid Willys Jeep
Gender	Male
Color	Military Green
Voice Actor	Paul Dooley

Sarge is an anthropomorphic jeep, appearing in Pixar's animated feature 2006 film Cars, voiced by Paul Dooley. A veteran with a military green paint job, he appears to be a cross between a Willys MB and a Willys CJ-2A. He bears a slightly stylized Sergeant Major (E-9) insignia on his sides. Living in Radiator Springs, a quiet town on Route 66, next door to Fillmore, he runs a surplus store, named "Sarge's Surplus Hut" and mows his lawn twice daily.

At the end of the film, he runs an SUV boot camp, called "Sarge's SUV Boot Camp", where he is briefly seen bickering with a poser SUV who has never actually been off-road.

Every morning, he wakes up to Reveille and saluting the American Flag. This ritual is nearly always drowned out by Jimi Hendrix's Star-Spangled Banner, playing from Fillmore's house. The resulting argument always goes as follows:

Sarge: Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!

Fillmore: Respect the classics, man! It's Hendrix!

Sarge is the second to being the rarest in Mattel's die-cast lineup because of low shipments and collectors wanting a Willys Jeep character.

[edit] Trivia

Both Sarge and Fillmore were the earliest characters to be created for Cars, as precursors to both characters were in the original concept for the film, Yellow Car, in which an electric car tries to live in a gas-guzzling world.
Sarge has been released in Movie Moments recently.
There is a moment in the film which may suggest Sarge and Fillmore are actually Father and Son. At the end of the tiebreaker race that serves as the climax for the film, Fillmore says, "There's alot of love out there, you know man?", and Sarge replies, "Don't embarrass me, Fillmore...". Some fans go even futher by suggesting that Sarge and Fillmore are actually boyfriends.
