Topic: Officially Done-To-Death Themes, Part MCVIX: Lightnin' McQueen

Sure, your kids loved the movie... but other Lemons teams have already extracted every last trace of ore from the Lightnin' McQueen theme mine. How about a Muppetmobile theme instead?

In point of fact, isn't there a fourth hella shitty lightning McQueen themed car in Houston?

"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

It's the same Talon with a blue Lightnin' McQueen paint job instead of the red one we saw last time. They felt that a new paint job would expunge the bad luck that makes their terrible car keep breaking. This tactic proved unsuccessful.

Exclaimed by multiple people during the last race... "A DSM without transmission problems. Who would have guessed?"

That would be a Dinoco McQueen theme. I think I stepped on one of those in my kids room last night.

The General Stroessner theme can never be done to death.

there was this 50s Dodge pickup in the parkinglot of our motel during Southern Discomfort. I thought that would be hella fun to paint Petty blue and put a wrecker arm in the tail box, then dot-paint the windshield with eyes (remember those cheesy 80's pepsi glasses that did the same thing?)
