"'Cars' Road Trip '06"
"'Cars' Road Trip '06" stopped in Salt Lake City today, in fact just down the street from my house. So I just had to take the family to see the real live Lightning McQueen and Sally the Porche.
The weather was perfect, and we got there before most people got off work, so not much of a crowd.
My wife and I had a great time looking at all of the details on the cars, and talking to the truck drivers hauling these masterpieces all over the country. Really nice guys. They were happy to shared some fun facts with us and help take pictures. A perk for them is that they were able to see the final touches of the creation of Lightning and Sally, and they've already seen the film.
Lightning's body is completely fiberglass, so pushing him out of the truck is quite a trick, nowhere to grab except the roll bars inside. His tires are racing prototypes and Lightning has 4 of the 5 ever made. He is driveable, but not street legal.
Sally is an actual Porche, but her front is fiberglass. Not as much work done on her, but features added to characterize her.
They were passing out free trading cards and posters as well.
