Tow Mater (Cars, Cars 2: The Video Game, Cars 3, Cars on the Road)

Sir Tow Mater (see Trivia below), commonly known as just Mater, or full normal name Tow Mater, is a rusty tow truck. He is the deuteragonist of Disney/Pixar’s Cars, the main protagonist of Cars 2, a major character in Cars 3, and one of the two protagonists of the Disney+ series Cars on the Road (along with his best friend Lightning McQueen, who is also the protagonist in the said newest series). He is actually a major character in the franchise overall.

Why He Gits-R-Done

 * 1) He is friendly, loyal, funny and big-hearted.
 * 2) He is the only car in Radiator Springs who never had any animosity towards Lightning (not even after his unintentional mess).
 * 3) Much like Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants, he is dimwitted and even dumb, but in a hilarious way. An example of this is where he drives backwards, and tips tractors.
 * 4) He is a great friend of Lightning McQueen and is one of those who changed him for the better.
 * 5) Larry the Cable Guy handles his voice perfectly, and even so by Adam Burton in Cars 3: Driven to Win decently.
 * 6) He was so popular that he got his own short series titled "Mater's Tall Tales", which included a variety of several episodes. Or otherwise, it was also known as "Cars Toons".
 * 7) He has some fun catchphrases, like "Git-R-Done!" (Which is actually Larry's own catchphrase), "Shoooooooot...", "That's funny right 'der." and of course, "DAD GUM!".
 * 8) Aside from being dimwitted and a simple folk, he has great knowledge on engineering and is skilled with repairing other cars. Even in Cars 2, he was still clever enough to defeat Miles Axelrod in the end of the story.
 * 9) Similar to other equally amazing comic reliefs, such as Donkey, Mushu and Sid, Mater manages to occasionally steal the show with his comical disposition.
 * 10) A funny moment: For example, in the epilogue of the first film, he finally "found" his lost hood, which he hasn't seen in 20 years.
 * 11) *More examples are, in the episode "Salt Fever" of Cars on the Road, when he gets his rockets on, he copies McQueen's very iconic lines "I'm faster than fast, and quicker than quick!" and "I am speed!". Another example is, in the currently final episode of the said series, Gettin' Hitched, when he and Mato both do a staring contest at each other, a lightning bug flies on his eye.
 * 12) He loves to go Tractor Tippin'!
 * 13) Even though despite him getting flanderized in the film of Cars 2, he can still be likable to some fans of the film or just the entire Cars series overall.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unfortunately, as said above, he was poorly flanderized in the film of Cars 2 where he turned from a hilarious, cuckoo tow truck to an unlikable, annoyingly foolish and immature moron. But thankfully, he wasn't all bad there and it was the only case.
 * 2) He is not exactly the smartest vehicle in Radiator Springs. It was actually noticeably Doc Hudson to be exact.
 * 3) His hobby of going Tractor Tippin', while not really entering animal abuse territory, still causes him to get in trouble sometimes (whether with Frank or Sheriff).
 * 4) *However, the reason why he loves Tractor Tippin' a lot is because he is obsessed with fart jokes (this was even mentioned on the trivia of his Fandom page; see #7 pointer).

Trivia

 * Mater is named after the construction superintendent Douglas Keever (who worked on the first Cars movie), whose nickname was "Mater".
 * According to Cars 3, he has mudflaps to use on multiple occasions, like going to church and fishing.
 * Despite receiving knighthood and being dubbed as "Sir" in Cars 2, only anyone from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand can receive knighthood in real-life. However, non-Britishers can receive honorary knighthood, but they cannot be referred to as Sir.
