my favorite part of the movie was when lightning just yells at everybody "Doc has 3 piston cups" and then mater replys "He did what in his cups?" i thought that part was hilarious

He got his *RACING* tires for the RACE! The white tires aren't definietly made for racing, but to look cool. Also his paintjob was remaked because there were no sponsors on it, it's in his contract to have visible placed sponsors on him.

I like how half of these “Easter eggs” weren’t Easter eggs at all and just designs that he completely misunderstood

8:52 I'm pretty sure that the different paint jobs were 100% on purpose. For one, there's no way Lightning would be allowed to race under a sponsor without carrying the sponsor's name. also, in the scene where Lightning sees Doc out driving, he comments that Doc has changed his normal tires out for some of his old racing tires, indicating that cars have specific tires designed to withstand the extra strain of racing. Also, it's established in the first race that cars go through more than one set of tires per race (not changing his tires is what cost McQueen the opening race of the movie). Also, if you look closely, the paint job at the end of the movie is not the same one as he first got in Radiator Springs. And is it so inconceivable that a professional racing company would have the means to have Lightning repainted before the biggest race of the season? Like I said, there's no way that that is an editing mistake on Pixar's part. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I thought Lightning McQueen’s name was also a reference to Steve McQueen, the world famous actor and race car driver

5:03 pce= porsche and as far as i know the postal code of weissach, home of porsche, is 75301

I think the reason for reverting his look for the race was A. Sponsors, the paint job had no Rusteez logoing B. White Walls don't seem to be racing tires and there is likely some regulation that everyone needs to race using the same tires. Also Goodyear is the sole tire supplier for NASCAR I imagine that Lightning wanted to stay there for a while longer and also possibly make a flashy entrance with a new look

12:03 If you visit Radiator Springs in Disneyland, you will actually find out that the third blink of the light there is in fact slower. It was an Easter egg that they put in from the movie even though in this it doesn’t blink slower.

“The track is always lit” “Yeah well so’s my brother but he still needs headlights!” Must under-appreciated joke in the movie

Disney animators must feel very proud, they are so talented they put so many easter eggs in the movie without even knowing it!

the mountain behind the town is shaped like a radiator cap. hence radiator springs. its not an air cleaner. also the bugs life reference is actually VW beetles with antenna and wings. the cars were nicknamed "bugs".

Joes passing is why Red the fire truck doesn’t have any dialogue, just the crying clip that was taken from a bugs life. They didn’t recast red out of respect and love for joe

The Ferrari at 4:25 is voiced by Micheal Schumacher, a 7 time F1 world champion.

8:38 actually OMB means “one man band” the short from Pixar

8:55 he couldn’t use the whitewall tires, because these are the road tires. Racing tires are built different to regular ones(in fact they are so different you would have no grip on racing tires on your road car and vice versa). For start, the racing tires are slicks: they have no groove to filter out water(unless we are talking about wet tires which NASCAR doesn’t use). Also, they are made to stand higher temperatures as the friction is much higher. A regular road tire would explode after some laps, due to severe overheating and the fact that air expands when heated up which would cause to a rapid increase of pressure to the point when the tire literally cannot withstand it anymore(racing tires are filled with nitrogen, as it doesn’t expand that much under high temperatures). As for the livery, I’m guessing that racing in Cars works the same way as in real world, so Lightning would have a contract that says he needs to show sponsor logos during every session of every race weekend

13:34 is not a air intake, it’s literally a radiator cap, hence the name “Radiator Springs”😐

9:29 when you race for 400-500 laps and get no pitstops of course the tires are gonna blow up! They cant stand that much heat from the speed.

The sign isn’t not a symbol of the pixar ball... the star is the United States Army its all over their vehicles in WWII and since he’s from WWII era that’s his sign.

I really don't know how many times I've watched this movie I can almost remember every line

When you said if you don’t get the joke about McQueens biggest fans come back in a few years I took that serious and now I get it lol

Love how he connects cars to inside out even though inside out didn’t even exist yet

12:52 the freeway wasn’t there 20 years before which means that cars would go on that road instead

0:58 the twins names are mia and tia, and it's another little easter egg. mia and tia put together is miatia, which closely resembles miata which the cars are modelled after.

Pixar: lets “car” it out. Nate: Easter eggs. Me: on route 66!

the reason he had to get rid of paintjob was because it didnt have number or sponsor on it and in order to race you have to have a number and for the sponsor they pay him to represent them during all races

The rock formation outside Radiator Springs is actually...wait for it.......a radiator cap. But here's one that will really bake your noodle: The spark plugs on top of Flo's V8 Cafe flash in the correct firing order for a Ford flathead V8.

I just got this in recommended, and I knew everything 100% I am addicted to the Cars franchise. My throat still yearns for cars facts and I remain thirsty.

i love when he said “the 43 car is richard petty” expecting us to not know that already

Inside out got the waggen from cars. Cars didn't get it from inside out

"If there is no traffic in radiator springs then how is the road so beat up before Lightning ruins it" Have... have you literally never driven on a road before?

“If u don’t get what’s being implied here come back to the video in a few years” Me: literally coming back in a few years.

13:03 you know pavement and streets can get messed of up just by the weather itself and not necessarily by people driving on them?

4:56 Claire...? It's Sally, right?

Inside out came out after Cars by like 9 years. That's just a fuckn wagon, man.

Never did I think i would be watching a 17 minute about cars lore

5:30 Idk why but it always made me laugh so hard when I see McQueen raising his wheel 😂

"Dinoco" is actually a reference to "Sunoco" which is the fuel brand used by NASCAR.

The OMB on the truck could stand for Pixar's 2005 short, One Man Band, which was shown with Cars in the theaters.

With the Easter egg of when Lightning’s biggest fan flash their headlights with the joke you find out you don’t forget it

Never took notice of all these as a child obviously. Thanks for this. Really enjoyed.

I’ve realised I can just waffle at a point in every film and conclude it to be an Easter egg, just like what he’s done

Fun fact: Herb Thomas drove the Fabulous Hudson Hornet in NASCAR in 1951 and Doc Hudson’s number is 51 for 1951

I didn't get the twins that flashes "head light" until now. HAHAHA

Another fun fact - Flo's Diner is based on Pops, which is a diner on Route 66 north of Oklahoma City and they have 500 different types of soda to buy

He bought the white walls to help Luigi, the first customer he’s had in years.

I remember playing the cars video games on my ps2 when I was a kid

1:07 There’s someone with eyes on their headlights in the second cars movie. DEAR LORD

oh how i missed this channel watching this while i was a kid now im watching this to bring my childhood memory back

I think you’re overthinking all of the Easter eggs

the reason he changed his paint for the race is that he needs all of his sponsors for the race that are painted on him

I love how much thought and effort is put into these movies (:

10:51 If you look hard enough, you can see that Mack is wearing a hat similar to those worn by truckers.

"BiNg BoNgS wAgOn MaDe It FrOm InSiDe OuT tO bOtH rAcEs" inside out wasn't made or even thought of untill years after the first cars movie was made

no wonder people "missed" them at least half are not even easter eggs

I was so Obsessed with this movie i had the entire film memorized.

i love this series… HOW DID I MISS ALL THE EASTER EGGS,PIXAR YOU SLY SNAKES

12:00 or maybe it's a reference to flo the car that owns the gas station....

The biggest Easter egg is his new paint job, it’s a classic corvette type pain job (C1), a nod to the fact that originally he was going to be a C6 Corvette

The deal with Lightning switching from his Radiator Springs makeover to his Rust-Eze paintjob (and wheels/tires) can easily be explained due to sponsorship. Even though he trained in RS, he still had a contract with Rust-Eze. The commentator mentions that Lightning showed up at RS wearing those whitewhall tires, yet nobody mentioned him actually racing in it. The Cozy Cone motel is clearly a reference to the "Wigwam Motel", which was a motel chain founded in the 30's and 40s, of which one was based at Route 66.

12:35 there’s a reference to this in the original Cars video game. In the game there is 2/3 locations with oversized balls of wire/yarn in Radiator Springs.

In a NASCAR schedule there's 36 race weekends (that's the referencw explanation to the" 36 weeks to see results" thing)

5:44 fast and furious

Fibber: I knew every one! Me: Who voiced Darell? Fibber: UHHHHH-

Crazy nate I love yours easter eggs vids and I subscribed

“Easter eggs you missed!” **Me who already knew all of these because I have watched this movie 15 times already in 2021**

1:24 this movie came out way before inside out

The "pixar ball" on sarges sign is actually a representation of high prestige in the army

I missed this channel so much now that I started rewatching

"He crashed in real life too" Yeah every NASCAR drivers has at least one wreck

Wasn't McQueen's name a node to Steve McQueen, famous actor AND racing driver?

Delinquent Road Hazards is not an Easter Egg but the best clip of the movie.

There was another detail where when mcqueen enters doc's garage and doc shows his old news of his crash...and the newspaper title was "the daily exhaust"

The thermometer in Town Hall Window is more likely a reference to World's Largest Thermometer in Baker California. A major Rt 66 landmark, which was recently saved and restored to operation.

"How many easter eggs do you want in Cars?" "Yes."

2:07 Darrell Waltrip's famous quote "Boogity Boogity lets go racing!!!"

Remember this part 1:00. I watched this video about 3 years ago, saw that part and didn't get it. I actually came back about 3 years later and I understand it now.

Sally's Numberplate is reference to the 996 Porsche she is based on (I think) 301 = 301bhp the engine produced PCE = Porsche

9:43 They said that they found Lightning wearing white wall tires. They didn’t say that he is in the race with white wall tires. So maybe it was changed off screen.

1:09 I was young when I first watched this and didn’t get this, and I came back and now I’m laughing my head off

I did already know the miata reference before this video, but I always find it hilarious how blatant this stuff was and that I completely missed it

What about the Michael Jordan reference when lighting McQueen stuck his tongue out in the air

The symbol on the radiator springs court/fire house at 13:07 is actually a referrence to the "Boyce Motometer". Before cars had cooling systems with water pumps on them like they do today, they used a "thermo siphon" system. The Motometer was basically a thermometer inside the radiator cap, if the red was somewhere in the middle, you were ok. Too high and it's overheating, nothing to do with a pokeball or deathstar. The mountain resembles an older radiator cap. Roads naturally deteriorate in the heat and sun of the desert... you need to do a bit more research.

1:08 When this video came out I didn’t know what the joke meant and came back 4 years later and I understand it now and it hilarious 😂

im not the only one watching it and finding my own easter eggs

Actually that so called "neon Pixar ball' really isn't a Pixar ball, instead it's a military badge in reference to Sarge.

~40% of these "easter eggs" are just obvious references meant to be recognised by everyone

The thermometer is a reference to a radiator in an engine. I DIED🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

I'm really surprised that Andy and the rest of the modeling crew figure it out a way to reuse their library of models in a creative way putting this is a really cool video

13:23 you are overthinking this too much this video couldve been 5 min long if you only had the easter eggs those arent pokeballs those are normal windows and its not the death star its just the thermometer

1:21 how is that Bing bongs wagon

Last year I didn’t get the adult humor but now I do 😂😂😂😂😂

Its all making sence now! I can understand all of it now!;

He went back to normal tires cause they're race tires, but idk why he wears them around normal, they're slick

To answer your white walls rant, no car can race in white walls! They're for street use and would blow up way faster than the lightyears, which are special race tires. They're for style more than anything, and for Lightning's look after the race with Sally, it's a combo because he still needs his racing number on him and his racing tires.

Wow , the pixar animators must feel really proud of themselves for putting refrences of their future movies!

9:34 the makeover they mention is when they found mcqueen on radiator springs, when he still got his wheels and makeover

Cars is my favorite Disney/Pixar film!

u have awesome Easter eggs vids. thx for making them.

Did you notice that all the characters in the movie were cars? This is a reference to the fact that John Lasseter himself drove in a car back and forth from the studio every day!

thats so cool i was not expeting for that thx!!
