* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Fender and Clutch (with a rocket launcher) save Sparky and Speedy just as they're done for, unfortunately]].

* DisproportionateRetribution: Near the end, [[spoiler: Diesel reveals that she killed Piston (Sparky's cousin) and she has her DumbMuscle tow truck crony Igor smash Sparky's friend Speedy (though Speedy, unfortunately, [[DisneyDeath gets better]]), yet she gets arrested for driving without a license?]]
** Happens again in the sequel: [[spoiler:Diesel is not arrested for [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trying to destroy Fender's gas station, extorting everyone, poisoning Bumper's gas or even trying to kill Sparky and/or Petoola, but for driving with an expired registration]]. Even Diesel herself [[LampshadeHanging comments]] that it's ironic, but not dramatic.]]

* ApologisesALot: Speedy SCREECHES LOTS OF APOLOGIES OBNOXIOUSLY after she gave a customer wrong tire(s).

* NoIndoorVoice: Speedy doesn't talk. No, she SCREECHES EVERY LINE OBNOXIOUSLY! One Website/YouTube commenter put it best, in that she sounds like an annoying version of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Harley Quinn's]] voice actress.

* PoliceAreUseless: Officer Clutch is one of the most incompetent cops in fiction. Throughout the sequel, he's absent for it and he doesn't have anyone else working in the office. It turns out to be a contrived coincidence as Diesel shows up and starts causing trouble. When he does return midway through, it's to arrest Fender on his sabotaged gas.

* TheSociopath: Diesel. However, in the sequel, everyone is so oblivious to her past crimes, and they continue to let her get away with blackmail, stealing, manipulation, ''and'' murder. Yet, when she is finally stopped, she's only arrested for simple felonies (driving with a revoked licence, having an expired registration). It doesn't really help that only one person is responsible for all the scripts.

In 2012, a sequel simply titled ''Car's Life 2'' (featuring Creator/SeanSchemmel [[WTHCastingAgency of all people]] as the role of Fender) was released. In 2013, ''Car's Life 3: The Royal Heist'' was released. Two years later, in 2015, a third sequel named ''Car's Life 4: Junkyard Blues'' was released.

* TheSociopath: Diesel. However, in the sequel, everyone is so oblivious to her past crimes, and they continue to let her get away with blackmail, stealing, manipulation, ''and'' murder. Yet, when she is finally stopped, she's only arrested for simple felonies (driving with revoked silence, having an expired registration). It doesn't really help that only one person is responsible for all the scripts.

''A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure'' is a low-budget AllCGICartoon by Creator/SparkPlugEntertainment released in 2006 (coinciding, [[TheMockbuster presumably intentionally]], with the release of [[WesternAnimation/Cars1 another, more well-known CGI film]] involving anthropomorphic cars. It's the story of Sparky, a young car who's at the "rebellious" stage of his life. From speeding to deliberately driving over potholes and using them to launch himself in the air to getting "tricked out", his antics have his father Fender at his wit's end. Diesel, a female (though she certainly doesn't look like it) UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era Jeep, is a bad influence on Sparky, encouraging him to trick himself out and sneak out to the movies at night, despite being grounded. But it turns out Diesel has a sinister plot at hand...
