Motorcity Factoids!

Roth is The Burners helper. His name is taken from "Big Daddy" Ed Roth (March 4, 1932 – April 4, 2001) was an artist, cartoonist, custom car painter, and pinstriper who created the hot-rod icon Rat Fink and other extreme characters. As a custom car builder, Roth was a key figure in Southern California's Kustom Kulture and hot-rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. He spent the final years of his life in Manti, Utah.

Mutt's logo on the side is a stylized dog driving a car. This is an homage to Ed Roths Rat Fink character.

Mike Chilton is The Burners leader. His last name comes from the Chilton Auto Repair Manuals.
