E.J. Holowicki

DJ (full name Devon Montegomery Johnston III) is a recurring character in the Cars video game series.

Cars: The Video Game

DJ first appears where he and the other Tuners are beaten in a race. During the High Speed Heist minigame, DJ is assigned by Chick Hicks to steal Lightning's gear. he helps by putting Mack to sleep by playing a song so Boost can get onto his roof. He is later caught by Lightning and arrested. He is only playable in High Speed Heist, except in the PSP version, where he is playable in all events.

Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures

DJ must be caught by Sheriff in level 2 of "Speed Trap".

Cars: Mater-National Championship

While DJ does not appear in the second installment, a non-playable character listing for him can be found within the game's files, suggesting that he was intended to make an appearance in the game.

Cars 2: The Video Game

DJ appears only in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions as a playable character that must be purchased in a $3 DLC along with Boost, Wingo, and Snot Rod.

Cars: Fast as Lightning

DJ is a playable character, unlocked once Wingo's track is completed. Completing his track will unlock Boost.

Livery

DJ is blue with a lightning bolt on his side and a subwoofer installed into him, with loudspeakers covering most of his body.

Personality

DJ is highly aggressive and confident, and although friendly towards the other DRH, Chick, and Ramone, he is extremely rude towards most other cars, especially Lightning, and also can get goofy around cars he considers "victims" like Mack.

Abilities

DJ's main ability is the fact that he is a boombox on wheels. He will usually play rough punk music when driving or blocking a road with his gang, but in certain situations, he will play a soft, soothing melody, which can make any other car (except Sheriff, who somehow isn't affected) who hears it fall sleep in a matter of seconds. The meter on his rear that picks his CDs will usually determine which songs are on, it is usually turned right, but turns left in order to play the song that puts his foes to sleep.

Trivia

  • DJ's ability to put others to sleep with a song could be a reference to Pokémon, where Jigglypuff can make others fall asleep by singing.
  • In the PSP version of Cars: The Video Game, DJ is oddly treated in the same way Snot Rod is (being the slowest DRH member, and usually considered the back of the group).
