Question

Car paint repair?

Answer

In the beginning of the film, Lightning McQueen, the Rookie of the Year, is extremely cocky, arrogant, disrespectful, and selfish towards his pit crew, and cares little for others aside from himself. A rookie in the Piston Cup race, he hopes to be the first newcomer to win the trophy, and gain a lucrative endorsement deal from Dinoco (the gasoline company from Toy Story), but forms a three-way tie with perennial runner-up Chick "Hicks" Murphy and veteran Strip "The King" Weathers. En route to California for a tie-breaker race, he is detoured off Route 66 by The Delinquent Road Hazards and winds up in Radiator Springs, a nearly abandoned town whose livelihood was largely destroyed by the construction of Interstate 40 decades ago. McQueen inadvertently destroys the city's main road, and is made by the townsfolk to repair it. Over the course of his stay in the town, he comes to form friendships with the residents of the town, including Mater, the town's buck-toothed tow truck (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy), falls in love with a former city-dwelling attorney Porsche named Sally Carrera (voiced by Bonnie Hunt), and gains a deep respect and reverence for the town's judge and doctor, an ex-race car named Doc (voiced by Paul Newman). These experiences lead McQueen to understand the importance of friendship and love, and how winning is not the most important thing in racing. When he eventually gets to the Piston Cup tie-breaker, with his friends from Radiator Springs as his pit crew (relieving Mack, who had volunteered to be his pit crew, of the duties), McQueen manages to make it to the finish line before Chick Hicks and The King, but after seeing The King spin out of control and crash onto the pit (Chick deliberately took The King out), and remembering how a crash had ended Doc's career, McQueen, sitting right in front of the finish line, refuses to cross, instead allowing Chick to cross and win the cup, and decides to help The King cross the finish line in order to retire with dignity. McQueen gains a large measure of respect from the public for this act, and although he is offered the Dinoco endorsement after Chick is jeered by the crowd and denied the opportunity for his reckless cheating act, he decides to stay with his original sponsor, Rust-eze, and moves to Radiator Springs, along with all of his racing operations. Thanks to Lightning's endorsement, Radiator Springs sees a huge boost in tourism and the town is saved.
