Cars - Page 8

My son keeps referencing different parts of Cars that I don't even remember. He siad he liked that the bugs flying around were mini cars, huh, I don't remember that. We went to McDonalds today so he could get a toy. We got Mater.
He says the next toy is going to be Pirates of the Caribean. I wondered how he knew, so I ask, he rolls his eyes and says "It's printed on the bottom of the box Mom!" Gosh, I feel old and dumb sometimes!!

They weren't Minis. They were VW Bugs, of course.

I should have known, I get it now! Thanks GD. Now I don't have to wait until I see it again to understand what he was talking about. He's laughing, I told him what you said about the bugs.

I had to go to imdb for that, as I didn't catch it in the movie. It's Carrera.

We saw a Hudson Hornet on TV last night during a show called "Million Dollar Auctions". Beautiful car.

Did you all see Sue Kruse's write up of her viewing at the El Cap on Mice Age. Check out what they had parked out front!

Going back to my earlier thought of a 50s era Route 66 town theme for main street...as I thought about it, I revised it and think it would have made a perfect Main Street for DCA. I mean, to me, nothing is as iconic to California as the car, and nothing says "I'm taking a vacation to California" like Route 66.

Aww, should have gone to the El Cap.

Those cars are (or were) touring the country for the last six weeks or so and will be going until mid July.

The schedule lists them as being in LA until the 18th so they may still be parked out at the El Cap. Here's the rest of their tour:

June 11-18 Los Angeles, CA
June 19 Phoenix, AZ
June 21 San Antonio, TX
June 22 Dallas, TX
June 23-24 Tulsa, OK
June 26 St. Louis, MO
June 27 Erlanger, KY
June 28 Cincinnati, OH
June 29 Lexington, KY
June 30 Columbus, OH
July 5 Battle Creek, MI
July 6 Oakbrook, IL
July 7 Bloomington, IL
July 8-11 Chicago, IL

I think that's a great idea. They could still do it, there are elements of the style right there already. The diner shaped like a train car comes to mind...
