So I'm watching Cars....again....

And just noticed that "The King" has actually got a name in the movie...other than The King, or Mr The King...

It's


"Strip Weathers"

Too funny....



And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....

 

I realized I need to watch it again too...after just getting back home to AZ from Tulsa (we drove it in one day, over 1000 miles)....we drove on 66 a few times...

 

There tippin tractors now....

 

Strip Weathers? I'd better watch my copy of Cars and catch this tidbit. Wonder why for the name.?

But we ALL know that the US has had only one King in it's 231 years of existence and he did the voiceovers of the #43...

Jan..Doc Hudson rules!

 

I think the best was snot rod .He was the blown cuda, im still amazed every time i see that movie with the detail in it.

 

Weatherstrip.....Its funny as hell!!

And Mrs The King was voiced by Richard Petty's wife....

Ka Chow....

 

OK, since you brought up the movie, where the hell is Elvis? He's listed in the credits, but I have never found him in the movie. Just got back from the G.C. and rt.66 a few weeks ago. We found the TeePee Motel and a few other places copied in the movie. IS Luigi's garage in Williams,Ar.? I found a Cooper tire store there that looks just like it.

 

There is an RV at the first race with a big pomp like Elvis, I wonder if that is him. My kid still watches that movie just about every other day. I still get a kick out of the tractor tipping when the combine comes, Mater "that's Frank" then when there being chased "He's gonna getcha" damn funny stuff....

 

Watch the stands at the end of the movies, during the big race. I've seen 4 or 5 of the same make and models I've owned over the years.

 

I Watched It Again The Other Day To.... I Love That They Payed Tribute To Mr. Petty.

 

Did anyone else find the Toyota pizza delivery truck that makes a cameo in all the pixar movies?

Flatman

 

I'm Mia. I'm Tia. heh-heh

 

how many noticed that the flys buzzing around are vw bugs?

 

Or the mountains are cool looking hoods and fenders?

 

BTW, Boulder City is a cool looking little town.

 

One of the mountain ranges is the "Cadillac Ranch" in Amarillo, TX.

 

Got a Cars poster on my living room wall

 

Luigi's Tire Store is based on a Texaco station in Oklahoma.

 

Maybe we can ask Jive-Bomber nicely if he will spill some more secrets about the movie!

 

Actually if you look close a lot of the mountains are cadilliac fins and go in order from around 56 to around 62. can't remember exact years.

My son has seen this movie about 1000 times. I still think it's a good movie but if I never see it again it won't hurt my feelings any.

i can remember as a kid taking vacations heading along hwy 66 and all us kids begging my mom and dad to let us stay in that tee pee motel .

 

I have yet to see Cars. I must be missing out...

 

That's Un-American!!

 

Geez Josh.....

You ought to be ashamed.....Maybe you should buy it!!

Or come over Monday with George & we can educate you!!

 

Great movie. My daughter and I have seen it many many times. I think the tractor tipping has to be one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

 

This is one movie I hope they make a sequal to. My daughter and I love it.

 

It's still there...The Wigwam, Holbrook AZ

 

In my house it is the opposite, the kids are tired of me watching it. Kaaaaaa-Chowwww

It's ok Thunder.

 

I watch it at least once or twice a week, my hobby room(guest bedroom) is done up in cars bedding, wall art, the happy meal cars, and more. My wife and I love the movie, and our 7mo old daughter watches it too..

If you happen to know any State Farm Agents hit em up for memorabilia..............they did some neat stamped tin signs...........I scored some for the little dudes my wife babysits........................and sorry Jay, I haven't watched the film yet either...too busy building the shop/no dvd player set up yet.
