The horrible Lenticular cars continue with the newest travesty...Van with Stickers..but with no stickers!

You see, this specific Van is supposed to have a sticker on his bumper..instead it's just Van with creepy eyes!

The Idiocy of Lenticulars Continues


It seems all Chase cars in the Lenticular line will be Lenticular instead of Non-Moving. For those who don't know, Lenticular means eyes move. And I hate them. This just shows Cars mvoing further down the great totem pole.

First off, Cars World is dead. Sorry sbout that.

Now, as you know there are 36 racers in Cars. Some of them are released, but most haven't. The rest will be released through the Lightyear Launchers (above) and the Racer Launchers (below). I'll be on the lookout for View Zeen and Sidewall Shine.

Canadian & PIXAR Join Forces



PIXAR*Canada has been formed. This unit will produce short films and TV shows based on the 10 films that they have created. They'll be produced via their Youtube user which has posted the shorts George and A.J. and UFM (Unidentified Flying Mater).

What's exciting about all of this is a rumour that's flying around is that one of their first projects is a Ratatouille spin-off. I loved that film (heck, I love all of PIXAR's films) I would like to see the world be continued.

Beverly Wheels Cops



As a Cars collector, we have many jewels while gathering our cars. One is a race car that has the Apple logo on it. The other is a police car named Richard Clayton Kensington.

Above is him in the box. Here he is outside (apologies to Takefiveaday for both images):



He looks great. We'll have two more police cars next year: Marco Axlebender and Marion "Clutches" McKay. How a car has clutches I'll never know.
