Cars... A Classic

A man is what he drives!! And on that basic assumption - enjoy the ride.

I have fallen in love with this movie... its about a 'bunch of computer-animated vehicles who express emotion with eyes made from windshields and smiles from metallic front grills'.

Its got something for everybody. But what excited me most were the humour, adventure, racing, Route 66, and ofcourse Owen Wilson, who voices for Lightning McQueen, the hotshot race-car rookie. And Paul Newman features as a 1951 Hudson Hornet. Great support from Mater, the rusty tow truck, a hippy-dippy 1960 VW bus, and Sally - the holy Porsche!!

Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mario Andretti, and Michael Schumacher play animated four-wheel versions of themselves. As well.

A three-way finish of the opening race forces an elimination race for the Piston Cup in L.A. And as McQueen heads out to compete, an accidental detour strands McQueen off the interstate in Radiator Springs. This is a town forgotten.

This is where the fast living, 'I care for no-one' McQueen learns valuable lessons of life... that loyalty, community, humility, selflessness, friendship, respect, love and most of all identifying the priorities ahead... matter more than just winning a race or bagging an endorsement deal.

A great movie. Never thought I would be moved by cars - like this!!
