message: Does anyone think that the scene where McQueen has to pave the road and tries to do a rush job of it mirrors the scene in Cool Hand Luke in which Luke and the chain gang have to pave a stretch of road and then race to finish? McQueen is scolded for his work, so I'm going to watch for a more specific reference in that scene.

*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)

replies: text: If you're referring to , I added the word "distinct", but only as a reword. I felt the word "unique" () was not the best choice of wording. 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. It does seem a bit WP:OR-y, though (not to mention that the whole Trivia section, especially one so long, is generally frowned upon here), so I won't complain if it's removed. --Fru1tbat 13:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

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.  It's clear (given that Sally is an '02 Porsche) the cars are "born" adult, so the usefulness of knowing that Sally is a 3-year-old model is virtually nil.  Powers T 20:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Then what is the best way of dealing with it? You can't delete the age category, because it still appears on the character box.

text: I've created a new template, Cars character, which is more customised for them, and doesn't have an age category.

RMS Oceanic 12:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

text: My sister, Ann Turner, has proved that Mater is NOT 19 years old. He is at least 41, because Sally's flashback of "40 years ago" showed Mater giving someone a tow. And in that flashback, he was at least 1 year old. And everyone else in Radiator Springs (except Sally and Doc and Lizzie) is at least 41. Doc Hudson is at least 55, since the movie takes place in 2006, and Doc's earliest Piston Cup has an engraving of the year 1951. Sally is at least 3, because she was a 2002 Porsche Carrera and Lizzie is at least 82  despite the fact that she is a 1923 Ford Model T. Chick is at least 5, because at least five times he has been in an annual Piston Cup race. And finally, Lightning McQueen. I hate to say this, but he is at least 1. If The King strip weathers has won lots of piston cups he must be at least 12. Does anyone else have any more to say? Please? Thank you. ANNAfoxlover 19:54, 12 January 2007 (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!".

message: In the "Other references," someone says that "Lightning was NOT the first rookie to win a Piston Cup."

replies: text: The differences themselves need to have been published in a reliable source - putting the movie and the NASCAR handbook side-by-side and comparing the differences is the very definition of original research. Another argument against them would be relevance - how are the differences relevant to the movie? ARE they relevant? The article doesn't make any case for this. CovenantD 03:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I wouldn't say that comparing them is the very definition of original research, at least not as done here, which is not proposing a new theory or argument.  This would be closer to WP:SYN instead.  However, I would say the problem is that it's lacking sources right now, but it is very possible that such sources do exist.  It's just difficult to find them, given the lack of any distinctive keywords.  Perhaps when the Collector's edition DVD comes out?  I do think they exist.  See for example  which in the review mentions accuracy for that movie.  If I could find one there for Cars, I suspect it would also cover the subject, maybe in greater detail, maybe not.  Unfortunately, looking for "Cars" on Nascar.com is silly, and even adding Pixar gets me drowned in their store pages.  If I read racing magazines, maybe they'd mention something.  I'll add the unreferenced tag, perhaps it'll get somebody's attention.  Still, I don't consider the section a problem right now, it's not defamatory in any way, so no need to act quickly.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Sally Carrera.jpg

message: This first paragraph contains the following line:
The documentary is considered by many to be a condensed version of the longer "Route 66: Main Street America" produced in 2000 by Todd Baker for TLC (TV channel) and starring Peter Fonda.
Which is not referenced.  A quick google search had nothing stating anything like this, so I am going to remove the line.  AleBrewer 07:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, we're sure that more blogs will be talking about it over time (as some already have).  Many of us here have the same sources they have and you claim to have; unfortunately it's a matter of getting the official 3rd party verification references that wikipedia requires before any information like this can be included as fact in wikipedia.

message: Why would Pixar make a sequel to their least well reacted movie? is it cos it done well at the Box office?
Pixar, unlike other companies, isn't so shallow as to make sequels to their movies just because they were a success at the box office (If they were like other companies, they would have made sequels to everything by now!). It's because someone thought of a premise as good as or better than that of the original. All of their movies have been at least reasonably successful, anyway, it's not like Cars was a box office flop and panned by critics. 74.33.174.133 (talk) 03:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The article no longer addresses the origin of the name "Lightning McQueen." I know the animators say that it's a tribute to Pixar animator Glenn McQueen but that sounded a bit suspicious to me and made me wonder if the character was originally called "Speed McQueen" (which I think is a much better name) and there was some issue with the Steve McQueen estate for some reason (his Wiki article says they like to limit licensing). Is there anything actually known beyond what the film makers say in the commentary track? --Tysto (talk) 20:21, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

message: In the settings section you only breifly mention Auto Club Speedway as the setting for the tiebreaker race. In the movie, the track is refered to as California or California speedway, Auto Club Speedway before it sold its naming rights to the American Automobile Association was refered to as California or California Speedway. As a NASCAR fan, when watching the movie I immediatly picked up that it was refering to California Speedway in Fontana (the movie was made before the naming rights to the track were sold)also the track in the movie seemed somewhat similar to the reallife track. With the many NASCAR references in the movie I think that Auto Club Speedway deserves more of a mention esspecially when the first race shown in the movie is on a track based on Bristol Motorspeedway (also a NASCAR track).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.188.189.79 (talk) 05:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says: "Related merchandise, including scale models of several of the cars, broke records for retail sales of merchandise based on a Disney·Pixar film, with an estimated $5 billion in sales." But that was 2009. A newer article has this to say: "Since the first movie five years ago, Cars has made $10 billion out in the world. You know,” he pauses in wonder at the figure, “$10 billion! I’m very proud of that. And the reason I’m proud of that is not the money; it’s that everybody who buys a toy, they like this movie, they like the characters, they want to be with these characters."
