“ | Did you just ask me if I'm all right? You're so kind! It's been forever since the last time I spoke with a woman. Well, it's my first time. My first time to have a heart-to-heart conversation with a woman as staggeringly beautiful as you are! I'm very happy. Honestly. Someday, I hope to meet a girl like you and get the chance to live happily together with her. Of course... That won't happen because I'm a pathetic loser. And why would you want someone like that? It's all so pointless! ...I feel like dying. | „ |
~ Thunder McQueen to Ermes Costello before first attempting suicide. |
“ | Oh jeez... you're so great. I mean it! Your heart spoke to me! You have me feeling so inspired now! It really shows a guy how lucky he is! I'm getting the chance to meet an amazing person such as yourself right before the end! And for that, I'd like to thank you! If I can make sure to die with you, then we can stay together forever! I never realized I can be so happy! | „ |
~ Thunder McQueen before unleashing his final attack on Ermes, trying to kill them both. |

Biography[]
Before the events of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, Thunder McQueen was sentenced to eight years in jail for shooting a woman, a crime he says was a freak accident and a badly drawn conclusion after he mistakenly fired a gun while cleaning it as a woman tried to kill herself.
Regardless of the nature of the scenario, he was sent to Green Dolphin Street Prison. Working as a janitor, he is first seen trying to steal money from Ermes Costello. In the resulting scuffle, Ermes manages to snatch McQueen's memory disk. Later on, Ermes finds McQueen attempting suicide, causing his stand to activate and nearly killing her thanks to its power of damage sharing. Ermes attempts to talk him out of killing himself, but this only pushes him to want to kill himself even more, in order to have them both die together which is a fate he finds to be romantic. He tries to kill himself again, only for Ermes to use Kiss to save herself, defeat McQueen, and take his Stand Disc. Sometime after this, Ermes gives him his memory disc back, but not his Stand Disc.

Personality[]
“ | There are people who win biiillions of dollars in the lottery. But the opposite kind of people exist too... that's what I am. | „ |
~ Thunder McQueen describing himself. |
“ | Hey, McQueen. You're truly evil, aren't you? You worm your way through this world with no animosity, and worst of all, you don't think you're causing anyone any trouble. You also insist on playing the victim; although you have no interest in others, you're hoping that someone will come along one of these days and save you. You're what's referred to in certain circles as "the worst". Dragging others down with your misfortune is a truly evil approach, which makes me have to say I'm quite fond of you, McQueen. If you were to come across my enemy when you're moving about this prison, you'd be sure to get rid of them for me like a true friend. Isn't that right, McQueen? | „ |
