Cars[]
In Cars, when Lightning McQueen wakes up in the middle of the highway after falling out of Mack's trailer, Lightning attempts to find Mack, and notices a truck turning on one of the exits. Lightning, believing he is Mack, starts rushing towards the truck, only to discover that it is actually Jerry. The Peterbilt scolds Lightning for mistaking him for a Mack truck, and grumpily drives off.
