Summary
"All right, I wanna know who's responsible for wrecking my town, Sheriff. I want his head on a platter! I'm gonna put him in jail 'til he rots. No, check that... I'm gonna put him in jail 'til the jail rots on top of him, then I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that jail rot. I'm..."
Doc cut off as he looked down, sitting on the bench below was a kid who looked no older than 16 in a red firesuit. He had honey-blonde hair swept back from his face as he looked up at the man sporting a confident, flashy smile that was cracking at the corners, revealing how nervous he was. Taking a glance at the papers that lay on his desk, the name he read had a slightly familiar ring to it. 'Lighting Mcqueen,' Doc thought, letting it roll around in his head for a moment before returning his gaze to the courtroom, which was now sitting in silence as they waited for him to speak.
"Throw him outta here, Sheriff! I want him out of my courtroom, I want him out of our town! Case dismissed!"

Doc had a routine.
The same one everyday.
Hearing the sharp knock on his front door at 7am and listening to Sheriff shout his name was certainly not part of his routine.

"Hey Doc, you might want to come down to the station," Sheriff suggests to him over his clinic's phone.
"There's some suits here asking for you specifically, said they dropped by your house.”
"What do you mean people with suits are looking for me? Why would they need me? You're the Sheriff." Carefully pulling the next looping stitch through the small laceration on the little boy's arm.
"Yeah.. well they have some official looking files with them, so I would hurry up what you're doing and get here before they sniff you out at your clinic.”
Finishing another stitch, he grumbled, "Give me ten minutes and I'll be there, just stall them Mike. You're good at that."
Mater's green eyes lit up as he ripped the ruby red lollipop out of Doc’s hand.

Summary
“Finn, I want you to meet Doc Hudson, otherwise known as the Hudson Hornet,” Mater announced loud and clear, his voice reverberating from the walls. Excitement and anticipation could be heard.
Finn looked at the man in front of him. He was taller, definitely older. The years plastered onto his face. His hair was silver-blue. Navy eyes were trustworthy and patient. Finn, the ever-good agent, thrust his hand out for him to shake. “Finn McMissile. British Intelligence.”
Hudson gave him a weary smile. It wasn’t welcoming, but it wasn’t unkind either. Finn understood why he didn’t shake his hand. “You can call me Doc. There’s no such thing as formality here in this town so you better get used to it.”
OR,
In which Mater really wants his two dads (Disclaimer: Not actual dads) to meet and he makes a “foolproof” plan to get them to like each other. Lightning thinks it’s a stupid idea, Sally and Flo are amused and the others watch on quietly as two disasters finally meet.

Summary
McQueen is tired
Since he can remember the only language of affection he received was abuse, first his father, he wasn't a bad father but when his mother left them everything became horrible, he started to drink and luckily for him he looked too much like his mother, his father barely saw him in his drunken state and didn't hesitate to hit him, although he wasn't such a bad father when he was sober, I would just prefer him to be like that always.
then Harv arrived
Harv was much, much worse, there was never a moment in which he wasn't a good person, there was never a moment in which he didn't receive a reprimand from his manager who ended up being his tutor, how lucky he is, his father next to Harv was Jesus himself, his skin has multiple scars that show it, his father at least never left him physical scars
In the end, he was alone in a world where you have to be strong to survive, at least he was fulfilling his dream, running towards making his life less bad
and he thought it would be like that until he got lost in that crappy town
and it was the best thing that ever happened to him.
