As it looks now, I will be at WHQ for the "Road Trip". I will certainly have a camera with me and will get photos to share. Doug

It has been postponed from the 4/21 date and will be rescheduled with date TBD.

I will try to let you know of the new date.

I work for State Farm Insurance and we have been advertising that movie like crazy. State Farm is very proud to be sponsoring this movie and it is the first time the company has ever participated in the promotion of a movie!

It looks like a cute movie too!

Mack facilities will welcome the “stars” of the new Disney-Pixar animated film “CARS” on April 20 and 21, as part of CARS Road Trip ’06 -- the national promotional tour in support of the film.

The tour features life-size replicas of the movie’s lead characters – Lightning McQueen and Sally – and is powered by a 2006 Mack CH Rawhide Edition tractor loaned by the company in celebration of another character in the movie: Mack the truck, voiced by JOHN RATZENBERGER.

Tour stops at Mack:

Friday, April 21 – 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Mack WHQ Parking Lot

(open to the public)

It doesn't sound like the "Mack" character is going to be there. I'm going to check it out at lunch time and take some pictures.

I found this web page Featuring "Mack" It says that he is a 1985 Super-Liner! Click on Mack's photo to bring up the 360 deg spin option and other features!

Well, I took the kids to see the movie Yesterday! It was really cool! MACK the 1985 Super-Liner had a pretty big role and lots of screen time! It was cool to see the Mack script on the side of the hood and even the Bulldog on the hood! Good job Disney/Pixar!

I give it 2 thumbs up! Even for an animated movie...take the kids and go see it!! You'll be glad you did.

I went to see the movie last night and it really was a funny movie. The people I went with thought I was nuts when i saw "mack" and didnt stop talkin about how they used a superliner in the movie. I didnt think the movie was going to be as good as it was. Larry the cable guy was a pisser in it. Everyone that went with me was into NASCAR including me so I think we got the movie more than anyone else in the theatar. We were laughin our @$$'s off at things when everyone else had no idea what was goin on. But thats because I live in Jersey and to people in Jersey NASCAR is just a bunch of stupid rednecks goin in circles all day.
