==History==
===''Cars 2''===
In ''[[Cars 2]]'', he breaks down on the way to Radiator Springs, having done so nine times before in the same month, but this time only halfway to the county line. He is towed by [[Mater]] for the rest of the journey to be taken to [[Ramone]] for repair, feeling glad that at least one car respects lemons like him. When Mater sees that [[Lightning McQueen]] has returned from winning the [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]], he forgets that he is still towing Otis as he quickly heads over to greet McQueen, causing Otis to get scraped against the road as he goes. At the moment Mater finally stops, Otis is inadvertently let go straight into [[Ramone's House of Body Art]], where Ramone is waiting for him.
 
At the end of the film, Otis has broken down again, but Mater, with a pair of rockets that [[Finn McMissile]] and [[Holley Shiftwell]] gave him, tows him all the way to Ramone's House of Body Art at a high speed.

Otis also appears in the ''[[Cars Daredevil Garage]]'' app via his diecast.
 
==General information==
===Physical description===
Otis is painted light blue, with a rusty tan bumper and gray headlights. He has chrome rims. He is a 1972 [[Shyster]] Cremlin. a model based on the Lada Riva 2107 (despite Otis being American), with a license plate reading "06 05 62", which represents his voice actor, which is [[Jeff Garlin]]'s birthday (June 5, 1962). He has a chrome grille. Ironically, the front end heavily resembles a retro-modern version of the 2007-2013 GMC Sierra (albeit continuing production by two years later after the events of the film, and different inner grille bars), despite Otis being actually classified as a supermini car ([[Fred]] also shares this too).
 
===Personality and traits===
Unlike other lemons (especially [[Grem]] and [[Acer]]), Otis is not involved in their plot and has no evil intentions at all whatsoever. He is generally kind and compassionate, as he always thanks Mater for his service no matter how he was dragged to repairs (despite the carnage ripped on him on the way). He appreciates how Mater always treats him with respect.
 
==Bio==
==Bio==
Otis is no stranger to the tow hook in [[Radiator Springs]]. He's broken down more times than [[Mater]]'s cousin [[Betsy]] after he got left at the altar. He's an old jalopy who wasn't quite up to snuff even when he left the factory, and life's been a challenge ever since. New parts are not available, and he's reached the limit on his roadside service card. In fact, [[Ramone]] has repaired him almost weekly for the past few months. Poor Otis just wants to spend some time on the open road ... trouble free.

In [[Cars 2]], he was first seen broken down on the side of the road on his way to Radiator Springs. Then Mater comes by and gives him a tow. He apologizes to Mater that he couldn't make it. He really thought he could make it. When Mater sees that [[Lightning McQueen]] is back home, he rushes to go see him, forgetting he was towing Otis, and Otis was getting dragged causing some sparks. When Mater finally got to McQueen, he accidentally let go of Otis, sending him spinning out into [[Ramone's House of Body Art]]. [[Sally Carrera|Sally]] and [[Flo]] got out of the way so he wouldn't crash into them. In the shop, Ramone asks how far he made it, and Otis says he made it halfway across the county line.

He appears a final time at the end of the movie. When Mater uses his spy rockets that [[Holley Shiftwell|Shiftwell]] and [[Finn McMissile|McMissile]] let him keep, he speeds right by Otis (who is broken down yet again, which he was seen lying on the side of the road), picking him up immediately with his tow hook and towing him again, but this time he's going so fast, Otis is actually having a nice time. Mater then sends him speeding into Ramone's.

Otis is a rusted lemon who often breaks down.

History

Cars 2

In Cars 2, he breaks down on the way to Radiator Springs, having done so nine times before in the same month, but this time only halfway to the county line. He is towed by Mater for the rest of the journey to be taken to Ramone for repair, feeling glad that at least one car respects lemons like him. When Mater sees that Lightning McQueen has returned from winning the Piston Cup, he forgets that he is still towing Otis as he quickly heads over to greet McQueen, causing Otis to get scraped against the road as he goes. At the moment Mater finally stops, Otis is inadvertently let go straight into Ramone's House of Body Art, where Ramone is waiting for him.

At the end of the film, Otis has broken down again, but Mater, with a pair of rockets that Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell gave him, tows him all the way to Ramone's House of Body Art at a high speed.
