Mia and Tia are identical twin sisters in the movie Cars (film). They are Lightning McQueen's self-proclaimed #1 fans. However, after Lightning's disappearance, the twins quickly become the #1 fans of Chick Hicks. This would best characterize Mia and Tia as being groupies or fairweather fans. At the end of the movie, they are seen booing Chick along with the rest of the crowd over Chick's act of cheating which nearly killed Strip "The King" Weathers. The twins soon become #1 fans of McQueen once more. In the film's end credits, they have become volunteers at Flo's V-8 Cafe. In the video game, the twins are challenged by Sally Carrera to a race for a drive with Lightning as the prize. In a deleted scene from the DVD, the two appear as waitresses at a truck stop where Mack stops at briefly, where in they sport a yellow paint scheme. At beginning of the movie Mia and Tia introduce themselves by showing their headlights (possibly a parody of women lifting their shirts to expose their breasts at sporting and racing events) and saying "We love you, Lightning!" to which Lightning replies: "I love being me."

During the film, the twins are seen in five paint jobs, a number second only to Ramone, who is seen in six. These are:

• An imitation of Lightning McQueen's Rust-eze paint job (also seen in the video game)
• An imitation of Chick Hicks' HTB paint job
• A Dinoco paint job, seen in both McQueen's and Chick's fantasies
• Pure gold, in both McQueen's and Chick's fantasies
• Plain red, seen during the end credits while they work at Flo's V8 Cafe.

[edit] Trivia

• Mia and Tia's names are a play on the model of car they resemble, the Mazda Miata.
• According to the video game, Mia's license plate number reads MIA and Tia's TIA. They are, however, never seen from the back in the movie.
• In the Swedish version of the movie, Tia's name is changed to Pia.
• In the original script, Mia and Tia were waitresses at a truck stop where Lightning and Mack stopped for a break. They appear to reprise that role during the end credits, only at Flo's this time.

The Miata in front most closely resembles the twins.
