While talking with the cars in Radiator Springs, Lightning McQueen explains why he doesn't need headlights, to which one town member replies that his brother is always lit, much like the race track. Of course, his reference refers to a different kind of lit than Lightning's - one focused more on the over-consumption of alcohol.
