This Cars Rip-Off Will Make You Question Everything
These days, nothing is immune from being ripped off - even films. All sorts of shoddy, just-about-safe-from-the-copyright-lawyers knock-offs exist, and they’re often hilarious. Case in point? Spid the Racing Car.
Spotted by a CT colleague searching for information about Pixar’s Cars - the franchise it’s, err, riffing off - Spid the Racing Car looks to be an adorably cheap attempt to emulate Lightning McQueen. Made by someone who knows squat about cars.
Watching this for the first time brings up so many questions. Like why does Sid struggle to keep up with a bulldozer? Why does he have a V-twin, and a V-twin which sounds like a V8 at that? What in the hell is a ‘turbo button’? And how can new wheels “grip the road better”?
Perhaps I’m over-thinking this, but kids TV shows are supposed to be educational. But it hit me earlier: this is educational. If you have a child, a neice/nephew, little brother or sister, sit them down to watch this, give them a note pad, and get them to write down everything that’s wrong. Their future depends on it…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Not just cars, they ripped off Star Wars to!
I only lasted 2 minutes and 20 seconds watching this.
I want my youtube suggested to stay sane so I’m not watching this
I would point out all the wrong things in this video but I think all the people in this website know what they are and plus I don´t want to break the comments section with a big ass comment.
Just watch the little cars series.
Always nice to have a mechanic who can use the force to change tyres
More cars than The Fate Of The Furious.
Found out, Spid is also a pod rIcer!
I need to caption this lmao
Thoughts:
Also thought about 4th, but what if: They’re made out 90% carbon fiber and had a tetra-turbo V16 with 5k hp… And a spoiler?
bulldozers with ken block behind the wheel
