replies: text: Wally B. was the first ever PIXAR animated film (when it was owned by Lucas).  The style and animation features of him are now too crude to be of any use in today's film standards.

*When I first read about the project, I was aprehensive at first -- especcially with the disapointment I got from THE (not so) INCREDIBLES.  But knowing PIXAR, I still had my fingers crossed.  I wasn't disapointed.  The movie was a lot better than TnsI. -- Jason Palpatine 07:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The film is so close to release, we need more characters and models listed in the "cast" section of the article.
We need these characters and their voices and car models.
* Wingo (I'm surprised no info was revealed about this character, he is the most complex)
** That must be a joke.  Wingo takes up maybe 60 seconds total in the movie.

* Boost
* Turbo
* The Ferrari (on the French Trailer, he randomly sees Luigi and Guido)
** The Ferrari is Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher.  *spoiler* He stops in to buy tires from Luigi near the end of the movie.

* The Hummers
* The lowriders

Since I don't have the DVD yet, I can't verify the original editor's comment about the chirps being heard. Since several editors here, though, say the sound is there, I trust it's there.

message: Nascar has a green, white, checker (G-W-C) rule now. The drivers are given one chance to finish the race under the Green Flag if under 10 laps to go a caution flag comes out. Once the race track is cleared for racing, they are given the green flag, then the white flag, then the checkered flag. If, at any point with this rule in effect, the yellow flag has to come out once again, the race will then be finished under the yellow flag. This rule was brought about because of fan reaction and acceptance from the Craftsman Trucks Series, then gradually moved up to the now Nextel Cup.
Another rule for Super Speedways (like Daytona or Talladega), is if just over 5 laps to go, the race can be red flagged, but, if under 5 to go, the the race must try to continue with the G-W-C rule. Along with that rule, Super Speedways are the only tracks with an out-of-bounds rule, where the drivers are not to advance their position going under the yellow line to the driver's left. If forced, the rule is usually ignored, but if intentional, the driver is black flagged and must perform a drive through penalty through pit road at pit speed (around 45 MPH). This rule was brought about to control the wild fanning out on backstraights of Daytona and Talladega, which usually ended up in a large wreck in or before Turn 3.
As far as I know, there isn't a rule against a car pushing another car over the finish line. I'll do some more reasearch on it.

message: According to Richard Petty, in the reference cited at the end of the paragraph, the crash was an exact recreation of his crash in the 1988 Daytona 500. After viewing the video of Petty's actual crash it's obvious he is giving some artistic license (mainly, in the real crash the car stayed on the track and there was a pretty nasty secondary collision in the real crash). However the general motion of The King in the film crash is pretty close to a frame-by-frame recreation of the motion of Petty's car in the first half of the real crash.  
I removed the reference that the crash may have been Rusty Wallace's 1993 crash mainly because Petty says the crash was his. Unless Rusty Wallace comes back and says "no, that was my crash" Petty's opinion should stand. Rsduhamel 16:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know what your talking about, and the thought of the 1988 crash never crossed my mind.  I was personally thinking it was a replication of his crash in Darlington in 1970, or the said Rusty Wallace crash. PYLrulz 08:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The crash 

message: According to the trivia section for Cars on www.imdb.com, The King's crash is a frame-by-frame re-creation of Petty's crash at the 1988 Daytona - I added that to the Trivia section here with the Spoiler warning either side of it.  Looking through the article here again, I see this contradicts the information in the Individual Character section for The King, where it is described as a re-creation of Rusty Wallace's crash at Talladega in 1993.  One of these facts is correct - which one is it?
Whichever is correct, I think the spoiler warning should be used wherever talking about the crash happens - it is quite a pivotal moment in the film.StephenBuxton 06:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Not to tread on another writer's work, but the article refers to the song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" as a blues song.

Sure, it's been sung by the likes of Chuck Berry and the Stones, but even the Wiki article Route 66 (song) refers to it as a pop standard.

replies: text: I'm not sure the concept of "ages" is useful for this article (or List of Cars characters, or any of the individual character pages), since "age" appears to be based on model year, making Sally 3 and Lizzie 82.

* The Individual Character Section - Most of this information can be (or already has been) said on the individual character articles.

If there is a diecast model of a real car character, a license of the dealer appears at the bottom (for instance, The King has a Chrysler License under it). But the four tuners don't have a license under them so therefore they are lookalikes of the models you all think they are. Imax80 21:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: So far I've noticed two small changes between the theatrical release and the DVD release of this film:
*When the "For The Birds" birds go by on the telephone line, in the DVD release they now make a squeaking noise. In the theatrical release, I don't recall a sound effect for them.
*During the end credits, Sarge is shown putting four SUVs through boot camp. One of the SUVs has two lines. In the theatrical release, I remember it sounding like Arnold Schwartzenegger; on the DVD, it definitely does not sound like Arnold - it's more of a slacker kind of voice.
Can anyone verify these changes, and do you know of any others? - Brian Kendig 05:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're wrong on both counts. In the theatrical versions I attended, the birds did indeed make a squeaking noise. As for the SUV, you might be thinking about the Montage of press reports after Lightning McQueen goes missing, where a Yellow German-Sounding Hummer states "Lightning McQueen must be found, at all costs!". The green Hummer at Sarge's Bootcamp always sounded like a slacker. RMS Oceanic 08:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There's a fairly comprehensive illustrated list http://route66news.com/2006/06/09/a-route-66-guide-to-the-cars-movie (en français: http://webstern.e-monsite.com/pages/la-route-66/le-film-cars-et-la-route-66.html ) which matches the fictional characters and locations to whatever real-life people and places inspired them (for instance: Cozy Cone Motel is primarily based on the Wigwam Motels, with the "100% Refrigerated Air" neon slogan from Blue Swallow Motel and the office based architecturally on Roy's Motel and Café). It might be worth checking any character or location lists in this article against that one to see if any notables have been omitted? 
It looks like we're missing many (or most) of the Route 66 references... for instance, the Wheel Well Motel is based primarily on Wagon Wheel Motel (or to some degree the Wishing Well Motel, Illinois, demolished 2007). It would seem far more is being done here to match Route 66 people to movie characters than to match Route 66 landmarks to movie locations. 66.102.83.61 (talk) 05:16, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

message: In Cars_(film)#Development "Wallis then led eleven Pixar animators in rented white Cadillacs on two different road trips across the route to research the film.[citation needed]" requests info already cited in other articles. 
Stops on this tour included "Doc" Walter S. Mason Jr.'s former Best Western in Clinton OK, Dawn Welch (Sally's) Rock Café in Stroud OK and Fran Houser (Flo's) Midpoint Café in Adrian TX. The US Route 66 research for the film is mentioned in the WP:RS on those pages:
*  from Midpoint Café
*  from Rock Café
*  from Walter S. Mason Jr.
Just steal one or more of these (as they're all already cited in en.wp) and use them. There was also extensive research at NASCAR tracks and auto manufacturers; those sources would likely be in the pages on Mater (Cars) and Lightning McQueen if you need them.

message: * The section of this article (removed and now restored) would fall under WP:TRIVIA, and in generaion, unless a fact is sourced by a reliable source, it should be removed as original research.  An example of how such a section should work is at Wreck-It Ralph, where "Video game cameos and references" has a source for every reference made. I do think some of this can be done for Cars, but the sources must be there or else this is TVTRopes-style material, not appropriate for WP. --MASEM (t) 07:04, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

However, the reference that's provided to back up those two statements, an article from the Huffington Post, does not say this anywhere; it doesn't discuss the release of the film anywhere but simply talks about the creative changes.
