Lightning McQueen gets into a nearly fatal accident at going just below 200 mph, but Mater can break the sound barrier and doesn’t get completely obliterated in an accident? The plot armor is strong with this tow truck.

The drivers wear helmets and their bodies are protected by special safety harnesses for both the torso and neck. The suits they wear are also fire resistant. Perhaps McQueen's insides are protected from what would be instantly fatal to normal vehicles.
No matter how annoying certain things in this series got, the good stuff was enough for me to really enjoy it. Mater is absolutely at his funniest, and most relatable here.

Fun Fact: The original Godzilla movies were never stop-motion. They were actually the first to use and create suitmation. Suitmation is where an actor in a suit interacts with either green screen or an actual live action model layout. Just a little fun fact I thought you'd find interesting.

With what Tug said about Cruz, I'm pretty sure McQueen said he was going to keep racing. So after Cruz's first season was over, McQueen went back to racing the very next season.

I don’t think he meant full-time racing. He probably just meant in spirit, because he knew he couldn’t equate to that of the modern racers. What I mean by in spirit is that he went on to be Cruz's crew chief and continued training with her. He most likely even raced around Willy's Butte in his spare time, similarly to what Doc did.

I personally feel they should have had more episodes relating to car culture. Would have loved to see one about tuner culture (bringing back the delinquent road hazards), the muscle car culture with some cars from the video games, or even the rat rod culture with some of the Americana cars from the first movie

This is honestly the best Cars on the Roads review. You list off all the shows pros and cons, and offer a treatment that's actually better the original! I'm so glad it's back up!
Honestly, Cars: On The Road was a missed opportunity. I appreciate what it was trying to do with the concepts, but some of the stories and how the characters are treated at the end don’t impress me. Which is a shame because I was excited for this series. And while watching it, I felt bitter about it.

Humans don't need wash everyday? We demand it since were in a modern society and nobody likes to be dirty and stinky, but outside of that everyday shower isn't really necessary, for most of the history if we washed, it was like once a week/month
If I were to make a Cars show, I’d just base it off of Cars 3’s end credits, it’ll be purely episodic with maybe a few themes tying things together, we’ll see the triumphs of Cruz’s first season in the Piston Cup, we’ll see what happens to prominent locations after the events of the movie such as Radiator Springs possibly becoming popular again cuz of Cruz, and the Rusteze Racing Center’s state after Tex’s buyout, and we’ll even get to see what Mater has been up to and his shenanigans at Thunder Hollow and Thomasville, would’ve been way better and much more satisfying to see as a Cars fan than McQueen and Mater going on a random road trip that kinda comes out of nowhere, but if we were to go with that concept, it could’ve been handled a lot more better, even better than your purposed rewrite, overall Cars on the Road is a show that had the potential to bring me back into the Cars world and see the classic friendship of McQueen and Mater as they embark on this laid back road trip, but ended up leaving a bad taste in my mouth due to rushed writing and production, and concepts that they either didn’t go far enough with, or were completely flawed from the start and handled poorly in execution, this show is something that’s been on my mind only because it’s sorta recent, but something I definitely won’t be thinking about as much in the future, it doesn’t add or remove anything from the franchise, it’s just sorta that one rushed mini-series for Disney+ that they just put out for the sake of putting out a new Cars thing, it’s very, very mediocre
Also, in The Legend, the Hunters say they are looking for "Bigfoot", who, I didn't realise when I first heard the mention, is also a real-life monster truck. It took me not too long to find that out.

Let alone some of the other THQ Cars characters. If Tug ever gets into game reviewing (unlikely but I can dream), I'd love to see him review the OTHER Cars trilogy: the THQ games.
I remember seeing cars on the road in late September or early October and I enjoyed the show.
Here is what I would change: First of all, McQueen has his blue Hudson themed look. Ramirez is also in the first episode and she lives in radiator springs. She doesn't show up in the other episodes and she just shows up in the last as she suddenly got invited. That's what I would change
First time I saw Incredibles 2, I felt like I was eating a favorite dish that was missing a spice. It's like it had the ingredients I loved from the first dish, but it was off. I realize now that secret ingredient was integrity. Good job.
I honestly mostly felt like watching this because 1. I always liked Cars (unpopular opinion: I only thought Cars 2 was bad by Pixar standards which is a really high bar anyway) and 2. This show had Steve Purcell heavily involved which sold me as someone who happens to be a big fan of Sam and Max, and so much of this kinda reminds of Sam and Max Hit the Road a bit!
We have seen Mater backwards drive in the night forest and we have seen LMq utilize driving backwards AND learn how to drive in a hostile forest at night. I'm surprised that not even once does someone utilize the open road aspect of it all and use these two things in conjunction. They have so many options.

I was actually quite surprised when I heard that Buena Vista (Walt Disney’s distributor) was to do a Cars television series.
When you say stop motion monster movies, I hope you mean King Kong because Godzilla is all suit-mation. The original King Kong used models for stop motion animation.

Good video man I just rewatched all three movies and cars on the road
McQueen didn’t retire from racing at the end of cars 3, he just took a break to mentor Cruz. He said so himself to sally at the end of the movie, he said “I’m going to keep racing, but before that, I got something I wanna do.” That thing being to mentor Cruz until she found her footing as a racer, then he would go back to racing. That’s why in the first episode he’s back in his racing colours
I get wits you mean with the 50’s monster movie bit but unfortunately godzilla was not a good choice as he was 99.9% of the time never done with stop motion baring one small moment in the original and one moment in the original kong vs Godzilla
Enjoyed this series, I actually did!
It sounds Like A Good Series 🎉🎉🎊
Finally I'm so glad that you decide to make the video on this❤❤❤
20:39-20:48-It would be nice and appealing if Disney included expanded universe characters in Cars on the Road just like how they included Grand Admiral Thrawn and Rukh in Star Wars: Rebels or Cobb Vanth, Black Krrsantan, and Brendol Hux in The Mandoverse.

Haven’t seen the series yet but love your fixes Would love to see your thoughts on the other shorts specials and spin-offs like Planes
Technically Godzilla was not stop motion it was suit Mation 3:30
Fun fact: this is the first time where he doesn’t mention or show, anything relating to Thomas & Friends
5:57: Okay, that edit didn't annoy me at all. That just scared me if anything.
Here's my opinion mcqueen and mater could meet some of the piston cup racers and their pit crew teams from cars 1
I don’t care for Cars on the Road as much as Mater’s Tall Tales, but it was pretty good.
Why is lightning not blue?
My new favorite nobody asked facts: "Did you know Mater died in the series" and "Did you know Mater is the fastest car in the Cars Universe?"
This was a great video. I really want to see you do the same style of video on the incredibles
Those scenes when lightning and mater are driving together, reminds me one of the first teaser of Cars where we met lightning and mater for the first time driving and talking along side in the road
If Season 2 of Cars on the Road ever happens on Disney Day (A.K.A. Disney's Birthday...?) Let's hope it shows McQueen, Mater, Cruz and Ivy have new destinations and return home afterwards

I loved it it was a nice good little show that put me in a good feel also it's short so it was fun. I don't need every show to have some story and plot cause mater and mcquuen are good characters and they shine on the road together to enjoy it.
I haven’t seen this yet, but I can agree that some of these things are basically in the Cars 2 universe
I would have loved to see Mack in the Trucks episode, sure it wouldn't make sense why he is there but I feel like Pixel would have animated him as a cameo in Mater's fantasy
Bro, the old faces also counted as the demolition cars in cars 3
So if youre ok with there being bug cars as shown in Cars 1 why arent you ok with all animals being some variant of a vehicle?
I see the main point of cars as an "imaginary story about wehicles" . . and because of that is why they can get away with with things like: the weird biomechanical anatomy , or , how can a character a machine from one angle and not from another and other stuff like that , whitch wouldn't make sence irl but works as an imaginary concept

Yeah, Unlucky Tug Actually has Valid and Reasonable Points I agree with. Unlike where in Gamingmagic13’s Video where He just doesn’t ever stop Nitpicking about how there are ghost Cars and how “mUst, NoT, LaUgH, aT, ThE StuPid-“, like literally stfu. Also the whole part where he talks about “How the Finale Destroyed everything” and how the Characters got “Assassinated” made me put my entire face into my hands because of how stupid it was. Also I wonder how Gamingmagic would react to this moment Unlucky Tug Says “At the same time though, Mater is still the Go-Lucky, Wide-eyed Happy Tow Truck that we all know and love” And then Gamingmagic13 Says “WHAT? NO! SHUT UP YOU RUSTED PILE OF BALONY! MATER HAS BEEN ASSASSINATED! HE MADE FUN OF MCQUEEN’S PHOBIA, AND TOLD HIM TO GET PICKED!! THIS, IS, NOT, MATER. STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!!!” All in total, Gamingmagic13’s Cars on the Road Video is an absolute Nightmare to get through.

You say Cars 2 makes no sense, however Cars 2 is the only Pixar movie aside from the incredibles to use guns, which is to me, a very bold move to do in any movie rated under PG 13, considering that Cars 2 came out in 2011, and many Animation studios quit using guns a long time before then.

Cars 2 is a guilty pleasure for me. Probably because I loved it as a kid and Larry the Cable Guy is one of my favorite comedians. I'm not gonna say this guy's wrong to dislike it, but I look back on it fondly
Did you know that the whale car wash was going to be in cars 1 and salt flats in cars 3 there are some concept arts of them!
Number one! Good review!
Mcqueen became cruzs crew chief for at least one season we know this becuse of the line "Oh i want to keep racing thers just something i want to do first"
15:39 The licensed models stood out even more like the Nissan Figaros and Pugeot 206s, those were never sold in the US so I don't think they would be native to the US in that universe. I'm sure the cars immigrate but the amount of times those models were used were a little excessive.

I love your revision! ,🔥🥳
It's been said that water is mad hard to animate & CGI. So perhaps the technology & they're skill with that before wasnt as advanced as they needed it for to have a car wash implemented earlier.. I think a good idea for a Series.. would be to have Lightning & Mater do a job-hop hunt.. similar to how reality stars outgrow,(or get fired) from their original show.. and then they make a show out of them finding a new job amongst trying out diff'rent jobs.. 😄.. & With that. They could've set up a few plots & task & races.. & introduced new characters.. fleshed out one or two of those characters & implemented A Car Dealership (which in my mind could be adapted for Car use as an Adoption Adjacency), Car Wash, Bumper Cars, & impound lot.. Do som'n with Garbage Trucks (talk about Pollution).. Mater does better in the workforce than Lightning.. Juss a few of my Rough draft ideas without have seen the series myself. 😄
When i heard of a cars spinoff show i thought of the other racers lightning ran with, really from any of the movies, having their focus in individual episodes to further flesh them out. The focus being on Lightning and Mater dissapointed me a bit. I have not watched this yet, but the announcement of what the show would be distanced me from watching it
About the human items, McQueen could grip maters tow hook with his tires in cars 2, so a cars front tires could be their hands in this universe.
