* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: only two major instances, both of them being Stinkbert.
** In "Stink Positive", after learning that his signature stench was the reason a surprise party he planned for Clutch went lopsided to start, Stinkbert sadly leaves and announces that he's taking a bath. This shocks the other Turbo Dogs, who pass it off as mishearing him until they see that he was good on his word the following morning, where both Stinkbert and his car are clean and pristine.
** In "Everyone's a Winner", Stinkbert decides to quit racing for good after losing one-too many races, a decision which shocks not only the other Turbo Dogs, but everyone else around town.



* ThePigpen: Stinkbert, as his name suggests isn't the cleanest guy around, especially given his love for garbage.

Deleted Five Man Band example - too many characters.


* FiveManBand: The six Turbo Dogs neatly form such a group.
** TheLeader: Dash plays this role, being a NiceGuy with a fiercely competitive spirit, a strong sense of fair play, and a big Number 1 on his uniform that clearly signifies his position on the team.
** TheLancer: Strut, in contrast to Dash, will do anything to win even if it means taking shortcuts or breaking the rules, even though the results backfire on him more often than not.
** TheSmartGuy: GT, a natural-born inventor and mechanic who can fix just about any car and "could probably make an engine out of a leash and some empty dog food cans".
** TheBigGuy: Stinkbert, who is infamous for his terrible odor and love of garbage, but makes up for it with his relaxed attitude and culinary talents.
** TheChick: Mags is the only female member of the Turbo Dogs, known for her calm and confident attitude, as well as her tendency to be the voice of reason when things go awry.
** SixthRanger: Clutch, the klutzy best friend of Strut who is often haplessly dragged into his win-quickly-and-easily schemes.
