'''Tommy Joe''', also known as '''T.J.''', is a competitor in the [[Rustbucket]] series and one of [[Mater]]'s six cousins. Originally appearing in ''[[Cars: The Videogame]]'', Tommy Joe has become a recurring character, and appears in the first four ''[[Cars (franchise)|Cars]]'' video games. He is a dirty and rusty car painted in cream livery, with the number "83" painted on his sides, and a license plate that reads "TJ". He is shown to have more nerve than the other cousins, as he does not react to when Mater says to "act natural" in ''Cars: Mater-National Championship''. He appears to be a 1983 [[Dodge]] Aries Coupé or 1983 [[Plymouth]] Reliant Coupé. | |||

Tommy Joe, also known as T.J., is a competitor in the Rustbucket series and one of Mater's six cousins. Originally appearing in Cars: The Videogame, Tommy Joe has become a recurring character, and appears in the first four Cars video games. He is a dirty and rusty car painted in cream livery, with the number "83" painted on his sides, and a license plate that reads "TJ". He is shown to have more nerve than the other cousins, as he does not react to when Mater says to "act natural" in Cars: Mater-National Championship. He appears to be a 1983 Dodge Aries Coupé or 1983 Plymouth Reliant Coupé.
History
Cars: The Videogame
In Cars: The Videogame, Tommy Joe appears as an opponent in the race Rustbucket Race-O-Rama, where he is usually found as the fastest competitor. He also appears in the event's respective cutscene, where Lightning McQueen asks Mater why he is ramming into a stack of obstacles. Mater explains that he is practicing for the upcoming Rustbucket derby, which attracts the attention of Tommy Joe. McQueen is introduced to Tommy Joe, who gives him a "hoodbutt" as a way of greeting him. He only has dents in the Xbox 360 version of the game.
Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures
In Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures, Tommy Joe and the rest of his cousins appear in the mini-game Tow the Line, in which they must be towed to the other side of Mater's junkyard. His red pinstripes are darker and wider in this game.
Cars: Mater-National Championship
In Cars: Mater-National Championship, he appears as one of the opposing competitors in Rustbucket Races #1, #2 and #3. In the cutscene for the Rustbucket Race #1, he informs Mater that he and the rest of the cousins were sitting for the last hour to watch Emma, who begins to drive towards them, causing Mater to shout "Act natural!" and they immediately get up and jump on Mater, presumably to keep Emma from seeing him. Tommy Joe is slammed into by Buford and trampled by Lewis in the process. He has dents in the PC version of the game. In the PlayStation 3 version of the game, he has his appearance from Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures (darker and wider pinstripes), along with the font of his "83" being different.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
In Cars: Race-O-Rama, Tommy Joe appears as a competitor in all four Smash Ups (except on the Playstation 2 version, in which he only appears in the first one), along with Lewis, Sarge, Tater and Fred.

- In the Russian translation of Cars: The Videogame, Tommy Joe is said to be Mater's brother-in-law, instead of his cousin. This suggests he is either married to Mater's sister or is the brother of Mater's wife, despite Mater being single, and most likely not divorced or widowed either.
- It is most likely a mistranslation.
