Fillmore

Fillmore is a 1960 Volkswagen bus with psychedelic symbols and liberal/environmental bumper stickers on his body. Fillmore is a strong advocate of natural products and makes his living by selling organic fuel behind his neon dome, painted similarly to himself. His lawn is allowed to grow free with no mowing or pruning, and he also creates his own lawn ornaments from scrap. He believes that organic, renewable fuel would be more widespread were it not for a conspiracy involving the major oil companies controlling the government. Fillmore was originally going to be named Waldmire, after a Route 66 resident, but Waldmire, a vegan, did not want his name used because Fillmore toys would be featured in Happy Meals at McDonalds. Fillmore is a fan of Jimi Hendrix, and plays his version of the Star Spangled Banner every morning, much to the frustration of his neighbor Sarge. Despite their differences and frequent arguing, they appear to be close friends. As revealed in the video games, Fillmore is both a pacifist and a Pisces. In the Cars movie, Fillmore is voiced by the late George Carlin, who based the voice of the bus on his stand up character Al Sleet the Hippy Dippy Weather Man.

"Fillmore is Radiator Springs' resident hippie. A believer in individuality and all things natural, he brews his own organic fuel and preaches its many benefits. Visitors can try Fillmore's special flavors in the tasting room behind his love-bead and tie-dye-covered geodesic dome. His many conspiracy theories and "naturally" unkept yard drive his neighbor Sarge absolutely crazy."
