Minny and her husband [[Van]] love to go out and see the world. Unfortunately they rarely see their exit. Getting lost on vacation has become somewhat of a tradition for the couple.

She just wishes that her husband could enjoy that time to stop and smell the roses, and if not, then at least stop and ask for directions.
 
   
Minny is the wife of [[Van]]. She is seen in the Customers! scene of [[Cars]]. She tells Van that maybe they should ask for a map but he says he has a GPS and never needs a map again. When [[Sally Carrera|Sally]] tells them she has a map inside the [[Cozy Cone Motel|Cozy Cone]] (said this to get them to stay), Minny suggests that Van read the map. Van says no. Minny is last seen at the end of the film with Van while they are stuck in a desert and want to find an off-ramp.

Minny mentions that Van did the same when they were heading up to the "Crazy Days" (a parody of Derby Days) in Shakopee.

""Oh, for the love of Chrysler, can we please ask someone for directions?""
Minny, Cars, [[{{{3}}}]]

Minny, sometimes referred to as Mini, is a van who enjoys traveling. In the Cars series, Minny and her husband Van make frequent appearances as tourists that visit Radiator Springs and other locations around the world.

History

Cars

Vans

Van and Minny drive through Radiator Springs.

In Cars, Minny and Van are first seen driving towards Radiator Springs while looking for an on-ramp to Interstate 40. Minny tells Van that maybe they should ask for a map, but he says he has a GPS and never needs a map again. Minny mentions that Van did the same when they were heading up to the "Crazy Days" (a parody of Derby Days) in Shakopee. When Sally tells them that she has a map inside the Cozy Cone Motel, Minny suggests that Van should read the map. Van says "I don't need a map! I have the GPS." When they are about to leave, Lizzie puts a sticker on Van's bumper as something to remember the residents, and Sally tells them to spread word of the town by telling their friends. After Lightning McQueen begs Van and Minny to call for help, they stand for a few seconds of silence. Then their car alarms go off, and they quickly leave the town, but not before cautiously locking their doors.

They are later seen in a post-credits scene, where they are lost in the middle of the desert, still looking for an on-ramp. They are covered in dust and have tumbleweeds stuck to their tires, as well as inside Van's luggage carrier. Minny arguably asks Van if they can ask someone for directions, but Van, almost driven to insanity, still refuses and says that there is an on-ramp close ahead.
