Have you seen the movie Cars? I watched it today with my young son and he's obsessed with how cool Lightening McQueen is. Have you seen it?
Aww that's adorable, but I haven't seen it. That car's design is inspired by a stock car and "a more curvaceous Le Mans endurance racer," with "some Lola and some Ford GT40."
Oh, you should definitely watch it sometime because its got so many funny jokes that adults would get more than kids.  That's what my son likes about Lightning McQueen; his smooth curves and fast racing style.  They have no headlights though.
Lightning McQueen appears in all the Cars films. The first film was followed by a sequel in 2011.
Yes, Car 2.  That is an equally fun and entertaining film.  I haven't seen the third movie release though.  I do like how Lightnin McQueen learns a valuable lesson to not take friends for granted as he learns in the first movie.
In the third film, Lightning McQueen sets out to prove to a new generation of high tech race cars that he is still the best race car in the world.
I saw in the preview how he takes on some new racing software and becomes like the newest racer.  It was almost too intense looking for my son's age but it looked full of awesome racing sequences!
Yea the preview seemed interesting. Lightning McQueen, is typically referred to by his surname McQueen.
I love the way Mater, an old rusty tow truck that becomes his friends, calls him McQueen in his southern drawl.  They get into so such trouble together.
Tow Mater is cool. He's voiced by Larry the Cable Guy and inspired by a 1956-57 International Harvester tow truck.
