If you love cars, then you gotta love Cars, the animated film trilogy from Disney Pixar. Lightning McQueen is the star of the franchise but there are hundreds of other unique car characters in the Cars cinematic world. In this video, Nolan gives us a little background on the making of the films and dissects the logic of a world where cars are people and people don’t exist. But most importantly, he ranks ALL the cars in Cars.

93.14 -> - Hey can you tell me what this does?
94.91 -> Is that French?
97.726 -> (demon slurps)
98.61 -> - Just a quick note up top.
99.63 -> This list excludes tractors, boats, planes,
102.69 -> and background characters.
104.38 -> The cars on this list are ones
105.78 -> with notable speaking roles,
107.34 -> plus one or two fun ones that we couldn't leave
109.16 -> off the list.
109.993 -> Our amazing writer, Laurie compiled all the cars
112.03 -> into a list.
112.9 -> I rank them, and Joe is going to bring me
114.92 -> the list right now.
118.5 -> Let's get started.
119.41 -> Starting off our list of number 80
120.69 -> is Stanley the founder of Radiator Springs.
123.28 -> Number 79 RV Arvy Motorhome.
125.3 -> It's a play on words, RV.
126.43 -> Just named him RV.
128.45 -> Kind of lazy.
129.38 -> Number 78 though three 74 is the lemon gang.
132.578 -> Number 73 Faregame I think is a fair lane.
135.81 -> Ford Fairlane, maybe.
137.05 -> Number 72, Roscoe.
138.813 -> Number 71, Miss Fritter.
143.24 -> Number 70 is Sir Harley Gassup.
146.55 -> He hangs out with the queen
147.73 -> and he's actually modeled off of a Tatra '87.
150.57 -> That's a pretty unknown car
152.46 -> that took some pretty deep knowledge.
154.48 -> Number 69, the queen based off of
156.2 -> a Rolls Royce Phantom Four,
158.48 -> number 68 and 67 are Professor Z's henchman
161.51 -> named Grem and Acer based off of AMC Gremlin
164.5 -> and AMC Pacer.
165.85 -> And number 66, we got two cars sharing a slot.
168.44 -> Professor Zundapp and Miles Axlerod,
171.31 -> the villains of "Cars 2."
172.9 -> I thought the reveal of Miles as the real villain
175.44 -> was really weak and kind of predictable,
177.44 -> and Professor's Zundapp is very interesting concept,
180.56 -> but just didn't really work for me,
182.88 -> just like the "Cars 2" overall didn't really work for me.
185.49 -> So that's why they share number 66.
188.45 -> Number 65 with Leland Turbo.
190.428 -> Weird name.
191.77 -> Number 64, Ivan the tow truck,
194.52 -> and at number 63 is Otis.
196.82 -> He's the only lemon in "Cars 2"
199.08 -> that isn't a bad guy, either.
200.36 -> Continuing on our list at number 62, Luke Pettlework.
203.63 -> He's the King's pit guy.
205.7 -> All right. Number 61.
207.895 -> We've got Mel Dorado obviously based off
209.823 -> the 1967 Cadillac El Dorado.
210.85 -> He's one of the only characters that wears glasses,
212.77 -> which I really like.
214.876 -> Next up on the list, number 60 is Sterling,
217.5 -> who is voiced by Nathan Fillion.
219.74 -> Great actor.
220.573 -> He's based on the BMW 2000 CS.
222.98 -> His side profile is actually very recognizable.
226.01 -> I'm not even a BMW guy,
227.1 -> and I knew right away that it was a Beamer.
228.99 -> Number 59 we got Pope Pinion IV,
232.1 -> he's based on a US-spec BMW.
233.863 -> He's the Pope.
235.11 -> He wears a big old mider,
236.47 -> I like to take a moment here
237.83 -> to talk about the confusing and flawed logic
240.84 -> of the world of "Cars," okay.
242.85 -> It's a hotly debated topic
244.71 -> and there are several theories out there
246.21 -> regarding the dark truths of the humanless world
249.38 -> Lightening McQueen and his pals live in.
251.65 -> So let's start there with the lack of humans.
254.16 -> John Lasseter was determined that in this world,
257.14 -> the cars are the humans,
258.56 -> but it's clear from context clues in the movies
261.36 -> like door handles, human built landmarks,
264.16 -> and the presence of a Catholic Pope and TSA lines
267.79 -> that humans were a part of things in this world,
271.31 -> at least to some point.
272.47 -> So what happened to them?
273.69 -> Creative director of the "Cars" world, Jay Ward,
276.49 -> who also wrote a top secret document
278.45 -> called "The World of Cars Owner's Manual"
281.01 -> offered a theory in 2017 and it's pretty dark for Disney.
284.34 -> He stated quotes, "If you think about this,
287.17 -> we have autonomous car technology coming in right now.
290.45 -> It's getting to the point where you can sit back in the car
292.99 -> and it drives itself.
294.36 -> Imagine in the near future where the cars
297.01 -> keep getting smarter and smarter
299 -> and after one day they just go,
300.772 -> why do we need human beings anymore?
303.569 -> They're just slowing us down.
306.179 -> It's just extra weight.
308.534 -> Let's get rid of them."
310.32 -> But the car takes on the personality
312.38 -> of the last person who drove it.
314 -> Whoa.
314.833 -> - It's a conspiracy, man!
316.69 -> - One flaw in that theory is that
318.03 -> there are a lot of old cars in the "Cars" universe
320.59 -> that are not self-driving at all.
322.15 -> So that doesn't really make any sense.
323.64 -> There's a lot of crazy theories about "Cars" out there
325.71 -> of you want to get sucked into it,
327.34 -> including like their anatomy and the fact that they pee oil
330.19 -> and eat sushi and all that.
331.77 -> I don't really want to talk about it on this video,
333.5 -> but it's certainly out there
335.07 -> if you're interested.
336.34 -> Now back to the list.
337.62 -> Number 58 is Kori Turbowitz.
339.86 -> She's just based on the 97 Ford Puma,
343.06 -> she's spunky and upbeat, and has that press sticker.
346 -> And number 57, we've got David Hobbscap like hubcap,
350.27 -> but voiced by David Hops, commentator,
352.81 -> he was a former F1 driver, he's based on a Jaguar E type
356.18 -> and his voice is super recognizable.
358.18 -> - Well, I think you need to clean your windshield.
359.92 -> - Then you've also got Brent Mustangberger
361.86 -> right next to him.
362.73 -> He's a 64 and a half Mustang coupe
364.307 -> voiced by Brent Musburger, also a sports commentator.
367.41 -> Very funny.
368.243 -> Then we've got Natalie Certain, Shannon Spokes,
370.94 -> Tomber who's based on a reliant Regal three wheeler.
374.64 -> Number 52, we've got Danny Swervez
377.46 -> voiced by Daniel Suarez.
379.39 -> He's a next gen driver in "Cars 3."
381.52 -> Then we've got Brick Yardley, Bobby Swift,
383.56 -> Cal Weathers voice like Kyle Petty at number 49.
386.48 -> These are all stock cars that get blown out
388.53 -> by the next gen cars in "Cars 3."
390 -> Three, even in "Cars" one, it's pretty amazing
392.38 -> that they're able to get so many car personalities
395.05 -> for the "Cars" franchise and by "Cars 3,"
397.05 -> It had grown so much that getting drivers
399.26 -> like Kyle Petty and Daniel Suarez, kind of a no brainer.
402.19 -> Number 48, we got Mama Topolino.
404.11 -> And then right in front of her it's Uncle Topolino,
406.32 -> who's based on a 1937 Fiat 500 Topolino.
409.43 -> He's a great character.
410.648 -> It's super fun.
411.481 -> Number 46, we've got Mia and Tia which what does that spell?
415.79 -> Mia Tia, or Miata.
417.91 -> They're NA Miatas, huge Lightning McQueen fans.
421.363 -> - (together) We're like you're biggest fans!
422.93 -> - They come back through the franchise.
424.54 -> Oh yeah, they flash their pop-up headlights.
427.053 -> I don't know if that's an adult joke or something.
430.57 -> Kind of weird.
431.403 -> And number 45 and 44, we've got the minivan couple
435.2 -> that comes and goes throughout the franchise.
437.02 -> It's Van and Mini.
438.41 -> Van is based on a Ford Windstar
440.368 -> and Mini is based on a Dodge Caravan.
443.81 -> Number 43 it's Jay Limo with an enormous chin
448.15 -> kind of looks like a Lincoln Town Car a little bit,
450.16 -> voiced by Jay Leno.
451.46 -> Probably wouldn't have been in a Pixar movie
453.07 -> if it wasn't about cars.
454.18 -> He wouldn't come out of that garage
455.84 -> unless it was for more cars.
457.45 -> Next up we got Junior at number 42 voiced by who else,
461.12 -> but Dale Earnhardt Jr.
462.4 -> You can kind of always tell when an athlete
464.26 -> is doing a voiceover line
465.48 -> because their delivery is super flat.
467.11 -> - Good luck in your last race.
468.44 -> You should have been an inspiration to me.
469.96 -> - But you know what?
470.793 -> Dale did his best.
471.626 -> Next up at number 41 is Sven,
473.82 -> obviously influenced by Arnold.
475.73 -> Sven is a Humvee.
477.5 -> He's got like a Mohawk on top,
479.35 -> which is super funny.
480.25 -> At Number 40, we have Mater.
482.95 -> And yes, I know Mater is like super iconic.
485.34 -> Kids love him.
486.49 -> He's got a funny voice.
487.849 -> - He did what in his cup?
489.58 -> - I think he's kind of obnoxious.
491.75 -> I think he works great as like a side character,
494.21 -> but to base the entirety of "Cars 2"
496.26 -> around Mater was such a misstep.
499.73 -> Number 39, you got Red,
501.37 -> who I don't know if he has any lines in the movie,
503.53 -> but he's the firetruck of Radiator Springs.
505.96 -> He's always watering his plants,
507.43 -> and I think that's just cute.
509.04 -> Number 38., you got the Sheriff
510.7 -> who's based on the 1949 Mercury,
512.78 -> it's got a Flathead V8, which is sick
515.05 -> and he's a little ornery.
516.36 -> One of my favorite details of Sheriff
518.08 -> is his grill is also as mustache, which is great.
520.52 -> Next step at 37, Sarge, who is of course a Willys Jeep,
524.81 -> his license plate reads 41WW2,
528.095 -> which is the same year that the US involved itself
530.59 -> in World War II.
531.423 -> Speaking of Easter eggs, I'll talk about more.
533.86 -> One of the coolest things about this franchise
536.21 -> is the sheer amount of Easter eggs packed into it.
538.75 -> The leading tire company in these films is called Light Year
541.69 -> and it's both a nod to Buzz Lightyear and Goodyear.
544.15 -> Take a closer look and you can see etchings
546 -> on the side of the tires that read
547.637 -> "sector forward gamma quad,"
549.74 -> which is where Buzz Lightyear himself is from.
551.98 -> They're actually a few "Toy Story" shout outs in "Cars"
554.52 -> like Dinoco, it's the gas station in "Toy Story,"
557.71 -> And it's all over the "Cars" movies,
560.05 -> and you can catch the Pizza Planet truck,
561.98 -> which shows up in almost every Pixar movie,
563.8 -> outside the track on race day in the first "Cars" movie.
566.44 -> Lightning McQueen's number, 95 is a reference
568.98 -> to the year "Toy Story" was released.
571.16 -> The car's license plates also contain
573.02 -> a lot of fun Easter eggs.
574.31 -> Luigi is a diehard Ferrari fan and his license plate
577.18 -> reads the coordinates for the Ferrari plant in Italy,
579.74 -> and Fillmore's plate is the birthday of George Carlin
582.47 -> who voices our favorite stony VW van.
585.33 -> The VW beetles in this world are little flies.
588.19 -> In "Cars 3" the character Smokey is named
590.24 -> after legendary auto mechanic and team owner
592.6 -> Smokey Yunick.
593.66 -> Could also be interpreted as a nod to Smokey Ngata,
596.87 -> but I think Yunick is probably way more likely.
599.11 -> These are just some of my favorites,
600.59 -> ff you know any other coolest Easter in the "Cars" movies,
602.57 -> let me know in the comments.
603.68 -> Now let's get back to the list.
604.513 -> - C'mon! Let's go!
605.757 -> - Number 36, one of my favorite characters
608.63 -> of Radiator Springs is Lizzie.
610.84 -> Of course, the Tin Lizzie, the Ford model T two-door sedan.
615.77 -> She knew Stanley, was in love with Stanley,
619.01 -> she suffers from a bit of memory loss.
621.01 -> Number 35, Fillmore the Volkswagen Type 2 Bus.
624.54 -> He makes his organic fuel man,
626.61 -> and he has some funny bumper stickers
628.436 -> like "Save 2D animation."
630.84 -> Number 34, Ramon voiced by Cheech Marin.
633.98 -> The low rider changes his color all the time
636.23 -> based off of 1959 Chevy Impala.
639.18 -> Number 33, we got Flo based on 1957 Motorama Show Car
643.91 -> with also some elements of a 1951 Buick LeSabre.
647.16 -> Flo has like the best business in Radiator Springs
649.15 -> in my opinion, she's got the cafe.
651.05 -> At number 32 got Michael Schumacher as a Ferrari.
654.73 -> I put him at number 32, not at a disrespect,
656.82 -> but because 32 was his racing number
658.58 -> when he first started formula one in 1991.
661.76 -> 31 through 28 is the tuner gang in "Cars" One
665.42 -> that pretty much put the whole plot in motion
667.35 -> after they like scare Mack off the road.
670.7 -> You have DJ who's like the SCion xB.
672.27 -> You got Boost, who's kind of like an S14.
674.95 -> He's kinda like an amalgamation of a bunch of Nissans
676.81 -> mixed together.
677.643 -> And you got Wingo, who kind of like a Eclipse,
680.673 -> like a second gen Eclipse.
682.51 -> He's a kind of like a reference to "Fast and Furious."
684.47 -> And then he got my favorite of that tuner gang,
686.632 -> Snotrod, who is basically like a Challenger,
689.83 -> and when he sneezes, his exhaust comes out of his headers
692.475 -> and he's got a big old blower.
694.29 -> I love that.
695.123 -> I wonder if cars are born with blowers
696.55 -> or if that's like a nose piercing or something.
698.22 -> I dunno.
699.053 -> 27 and 26, you've got the Rusteaze reps,
701.84 -> these guys are voiced by Ray and Tom Maglizzio
704.46 -> AKA Click and Clack from NPR's Car Talk,
706.92 -> iconic radio program, still the number one car podcast
710.414 -> in the world.
711.69 -> I will be chasing them for the rest, I guess.
713.791 -> Check out Past Gas.
715.46 -> Dusty is a Dodge A100 van and Rusty is a 63 Dodge Dart.
720.48 -> So, you know, I love those guys.
721.92 -> I'm a huge Mopar guy.
723.28 -> Number 25, you got Mario Andretti
725.7 -> as his Holman-Moody Ford Fairlane.
728.06 -> This is what Andretti drove in the 1967 Daytona 500.
731.47 -> Super cool that they also got Mario in here.
733.35 -> Cool guy.
734.183 -> He drove me one time.
735.06 -> (cars revving)
738.38 -> Can't believe that happened.
739.47 -> Number 24, he got Rod Redline, voiced by Bruce Campbell.
743.1 -> He's kind of like a Mustang Challenger hybrid
745.81 -> Challenger in the front, Mustang in the back.
747.86 -> Oh yeah.
748.693 -> I've kind of wished this guy had more screen time,
750.09 -> cause he looks really cool,
751.19 -> and Bruce Campbell is kind of a legend,
753.27 -> but he dies are horrific death in a children's movie,
756.36 -> so cool.
758.32 -> Number 23, Holly Shiftwell.
760.116 -> She kind of looks like a Jaguar XJ 220.

787.64 -> Then we got Louis Nash,
789.19 -> voiced by esteemed character actress, Margo Martindale.
792.4 -> She's in 1950 Nash Ambassador, she's based off Luis Smith,
796.29 -> who is the first woman to be inducted
798.06 -> in the Motor Sports Hall of Fame.

803.94 -> She also had some crazy crashes.
805.83 -> One crash, she had 48 stitches and four pins
808.65 -> in her left knee, pretty gnarly.
809.97 -> This car shows just how much research
811.916 -> the team did while making "Cars."
814.3 -> So let's talk more about that.
815.986 -> While I was rewatching all three of these movies
818.35 -> back to back, one thing I couldn't help but wonder
820.69 -> is how Pixar animators tackled this gigantic task
824.2 -> of creating an entire world for anthropomorphic cars.
828.2 -> In the early stages of bringing his concept to life,
830.59 -> director John Lasseter knew that he wanted
833.46 -> the cars to be expressive like humans,
836.05 -> but still move and look like real cars.
838.87 -> In order to make this a reality,
840.6 -> the animators had to employ
842.33 -> some never before seen techniques.
845.18 -> One of the biggest challenges they faced
846.98 -> was creating the shiny gloss texture of the cars.
850.48 -> They needed to be reflective of the environment around them
853.28 -> to bring the world to life in a very visually appealing
856.43 -> and realistic way.
857.77 -> Pixar had never had to do that before.
859.94 -> So for the first time Pixar used a rendering technique
863.41 -> called Raytracing that would add accurate reflections
867.1 -> to the characters in "Cars" to every scene of the movie.
870.06 -> A similar yet primitive version of Raytracing
873 -> was what made the original Gran Turismo so unique
875.58 -> back in the mid nineties.
876.51 -> John Lasseter also wanted the movie
878.54 -> to be accurate and authentic
880.06 -> for all of us cars and racing enthusiasts out there.
883.37 -> All the animators spent a few days at race tracks
885.94 -> with real race cars and went on guided tours
888.25 -> of the historic Route 66, which sounds
890.87 -> like heaven for Boomers.
892.66 -> Sound engineers also visited racetracks
894.9 -> all over the US to catch authentic track sounds, awesome.
899.24 -> When it came time to cast the movie,
901.37 -> they really pulled out the big guns, real racers,
903.76 -> sports broadcasters, and reporters were cast
906.21 -> to make the movie feel authentic for all the racing fans
909.13 -> that would inevitably watch the movie.
911.03 -> I mean, as we said, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was in there.
913.86 -> We had Mario Andretti, Jr Johnson.
915.499 -> They got ahold of everyone from the racing world.
918.3 -> Even if it was just for one line.
919.86 -> Yes, we all love Owen Wilson,
921.44 -> and some of us loved Larry the Cable Guy,
923.55 -> even though Mater is very annoying,
925.87 -> but the real heroes of "Cars" are the folks
928.53 -> behind the scenes.
929.82 -> Back to the list!
932.92 -> Number 19, you have Smokey who was Doc Hudson's mentor,
936.28 -> a 1946 Hudson pickup, which I love.
939.31 -> All right, we're getting closer.
940.54 -> We're at number 18.
941.61 -> It's Luigi, who is a 1959 Fiat 500.
945.629 -> He owns the tire shop.
947.47 -> He's bilingual in Italian and English.
949.849 -> Love Luigi.
951.26 -> Number 17, Cruz Ramirez from "Cars 3,"
953.57 -> she's got a lot of different sports car elements to her.
955.413 -> She's kind of like a FRS almost.
959.21 -> She's Lightning's trainer in "Cars 3,"
961.69 -> And I think she's actually a really great character,
963.54 -> starts off kind of like overeager and all that,
965.86 -> but as the movie progresses,
967.263 -> you really start to like her and then she wins
970.17 -> that last race and it's a great moment.
972.51 -> Number 16, Bob Cutlass and number 15 Darryl Cartrip.
975.72 -> These guys are in every "Cars" movie,
977.88 -> of course voiced by Bob Costas and Darrell Waltrip,
981.29 -> two legendary sports casters.
983.26 -> Number 14, 13, and 12 are the other cars
985.59 -> competing against Lightning McQueen in the World Grand Prix
988.5 -> in "Cars 2."
989.37 -> You got Miguel Camino, which is a hilarious name.
992.94 -> He's kind of just like a generic sports car,
994.75 -> and he got Raul Caroule who's based on
997.56 -> a Citroen C4 World Rally car,
1000.24 -> particularly Sebastian Lobe's Citroen C4 WRC car,
1003.78 -> and then you've got Jeff Gorvette, he's a C6 Corvette.
1006.6 -> It's pretty lazy pun, but he's also voiced by Jeff Gordon.
1009.83 -> Pretty awesome.
1010.663 -> Number 11, you've got Lewis Hamilton.
1012.85 -> In "Cars 2," he kind of looks like a McLaren,
1015.2 -> and then in "Cars 3," he's like voice assistant.
1017.309 -> - What about Hamilton?
1018.344 -> - [Hamilton] Hamilton here.
1019.222 -> - Who's Hamilton?
1020.3 -> - I love that they have Lewis Hamilton.
1022.08 -> I put him this high on the list because he's the GOAT.
1025.382 -> You know what I'm saying?
1027.076 -> All right, we're down to the final 10 cars
1028.31 -> of the "Cars" franchise.
1029.84 -> I think if you take all 10 of these cars
1031.48 -> and put them together in a single image,
1032.82 -> you're like, Oh yeah, that's the essence of "Cars."
1035.54 -> So let's get into it.
1036.9 -> At number 10, you got Guido, pit guy of Radiator Springs.
1041.21 -> He's inspired by a BMW Isetta,
1043.58 -> he's got little forklift arms,
1045.58 -> which isn't very Isetta of him, but anyway,
1047.37 -> he can do anything.
1048.41 -> He's a one man pit crew, fastest little hands in the west.
1052.3 -> And I just loved Guido so much.
1053.97 -> The only English that he knows is pit stop,
1055.92 -> which I think is great.
1056.753 -> - Pit stop!
1058.27 -> - Number nine is I think the strongest antagonist
1060.96 -> of the car series, Jackson Storm,
1063.99 -> the next gen car that comes in and changes the entire game.
1067.4 -> He's not evil.
1068.233 -> He's just really good, and just kind of pushes
1070.71 -> Lightning McQueen to his limits.
1072.87 -> Sure, he's a little gaslighty,
1074.124 -> but I think he's just really cocky
1076.06 -> cause he knows he's the best.
1077.74 -> I mean, he's voiced by Armie Hammer
1079.47 -> and he's kind of like a Lamant car,
1081.49 -> kind of resembles a Cadillac Cien.
1084.09 -> Number eight, you got Finn Mcmissile
1086.03 -> who is voiced by Michael Kane,
1087.33 -> he's a Aston Martin DB5, is a classic Bond car,
1090.43 -> he's got guns for some reason,
1091.87 -> but he's also got a lot of gadgets.
1093.32 -> He's a really likable character.
1095.08 -> Michael Kane really brings a lot of presence
1097.116 -> to Finn Mcmissile.
1098.87 -> Number seven, you've got Sally Carrera.
1101.23 -> Lightning's love interest.
1102.83 -> She's always supporting him through everything.
1105.1 -> She's based on a 2002 996-series Porsche 911 Carrera,
1110.12 -> hence her last name you can tell Porsche
1111.84 -> had a lot of control over her appearance
1113.83 -> because Sally of all the cars in the series
1116.58 -> probably looks the most like the car
1118.51 -> that she's based off of.
1119.59 -> She was originally going to be a Mustang,
1121.28 -> but then they opted for a more like feminine look
1124.11 -> of the Porsche over a Mustang.
1125.84 -> Number six, one of the best characters
1127.57 -> in the entire franchise, Chick Hicks.
1129.45 -> He's based on the Buick Grand National,
1131.45 -> voiced by the amazing Michael Keaton.
1133.83 -> He's just so cocky.
1135.4 -> And I just love him.
1136.52 -> Great character and great design.
1138.17 -> Really captures that old school NASCAR look.
1140.4 -> Number five, Lightening McQueen.
1142.54 -> Very generic looking stock car.
1144.11 -> He's not number one, even though he is the main character
1146.71 -> of the series because not a lot of growth
1149.32 -> throughout the series in my opinion.
1150.87 -> He's kind of just the same kind of jerk to Mater
1153.04 -> in every movie and never really learns.
1155.18 -> So that's why he's at number five,
1156.28 -> but of course we couldn't have this franchise without him.
1158.188 -> - Kapow!
1159.07 -> - At number four, my favorite character from "Cars 2"
1161.59 -> and one of the funniest in the "Cars" series,
1164.02 -> is Francesco Bernoulli, voiced by John Turturro.
1167.38 -> He's an F1 car.
1168.8 -> He's named after the Bernoulli principle,
1170.59 -> which basically lets cars be sucked to the ground
1174.13 -> or lets planes fly.
1175.57 -> Just a great character.
1176.41 -> I kind of wish they didn't make him
1177.68 -> like fully Italian colors,
1179.47 -> cause that's kind of stereotypical, I think.
1181.69 -> Bernoulli is a great name because it's an Easter egg
1183.61 -> that kids probably don't understand and maybe some adults,
1185.63 -> but it shows the team's attention to detail.
1188.18 -> - My mama is right here.
1190.09 -> Mama!
1191.545 -> - All right, our top three cars.
1195.4 -> At number three is Mack.
1198.09 -> I love Mack, voiced by John Ratzenberger,
1201.2 -> based on like an 80s era Mack semi-truck.
1204.53 -> He's got some of the best lines in the series
1206.97 -> and he's just so lovable,
1208.34 -> like he's this big lovable goof.
1210.31 -> He did fall asleep on the road,
1211.66 -> but that was Lightning's fault.
1212.91 -> Just incredibly loyal to Lightning McQueen
1214.537 -> and a very positive guy
1216.32 -> and just great character design as well.
1218.42 -> John Ratzenberger has been in pretty much every Pixar movie
1220.68 -> as demonstrated at the end of "Cars" One
1223.08 -> when he's watching Pixar movies at the drive-in theater.
1225.957 -> - What kind of cut-rate production is this?
1228.35 -> - Number two and number 2.5.
1230.978 -> Number 2.5, we got Lynda Weathers,
1233.63 -> and at number two, you got the King AKA Strip weathers.
1237.53 -> Linda is a 74 Town and Country station wagon,
1241.52 -> and the King is of course a 1970 Plymouth Superbird.
1244.81 -> One of my favorite cars in the entire world.
1247.864 -> I think it's amazing that they got Richard Petty
1250.44 -> to be in this movie,
1252.1 -> and I wouldn't have chose a better car
1254.24 -> to demonstrate a legendary character like Richard Petty
1258.59 -> or the King in the "Cars" universe.
1260.85 -> He's a seven time piston cup champion.
1263.11 -> The King's crash seems to be based
1264.66 -> on Richard Petty's Daytona 500 '88 crash,
1267.29 -> which is a cool detail.
1268.7 -> And I just loved the grabber blue paint job
1271.38 -> and that his wife matches and they're together
1273.46 -> because they're always together on screen.
1275.36 -> - I would be nothing without you.
1277.204 -> - All right, number one.
1279.01 -> My number one pick
1281.73 -> is Doc Hudson.
1284.21 -> Voiced by Paul Newman, he's based off
1286.46 -> the 1951 Hudson Hornet, which is a real car.
1289.59 -> He's just like a great mentor to Lightning McQueen.
1292.38 -> Turn left to go right, such a great piece of advice.
1294.84 -> Paul Newman himself was a very accomplished race car driver,
1297.84 -> loved racing.
1298.673 -> So it's very appropriate that he voiced Doc.
1300.9 -> I just love Doc so much.
1302.24 -> Maybe it is my fifties car patina love
1305.94 -> that influenced that pick,
1307.05 -> but I really think that he is certainly one
1308.48 -> of the most complex characters in the "Cars" franchise,
1310.937 -> but also has one of the coolest designs as well
1313.14 -> and just imports a lot of knowledge on Lightning McQueen.
1315.45 -> And for that reason he is number one.
1317.17 -> - You got a lot of stuff, kid.
1319.74 -> All right.
1320.573 -> So that's my list.
1321.406 -> I hope you guys liked it.
1322.239 -> Let me know what you think of it in the comments.
1323.63 -> I had a lot of fun making this one.
