Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters--including Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche, Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, and Mater, a rusty but trusty tow truck, who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.

Life is a highway... - Cars Reviews
A good "coming into your own" story about a hotshot up-and-comer who thinks he knows everything about life. What he finds out is that life is not a race that can be won - only experienced.
Although the story did slow somewhat during the middle it wasn't as bad as some have said. The visuals were great - those guys at Pixar know their stuff! The acting was good but where was Lee Ermey???
The story rounded out well but there were some lingering questions that still remain about the car world... like: where are all of the junkyards?
It was great fun for kids of all ages and adults - even those more adult than the rest of us will have a good time as well.
This will be a good one to own...
