OT: Tractor tipping in Cars movie

I thought this movie was a blast, lots of fun and lots of attention to realistic detail in the races.

The "tractor tipping" though is based on the urban myth of Cow tipping.

Still, I don't think I have seen an audience have such a good time in a movie theater in a really long time.

(Perhaps since that police car took off in American Graffiti, after getting its rear axle chained to a wall...)

I almost wet myself (ooops TMI) with the tractor tipping. Things like the all of the car hoods in the rock formations like Monument Valley and other details items kept me going. The caddys in the Stone Henge formation like the real Car Henge was great. I am old enough to have seen a lot of old Route 66. The Wig-Wam motel killed me. Other folks looked at the traffic cone motel and wondered if I was on drugs to be laughing so hard.

Cars is gooood enterainment. I was as happy as a tornado in a trailer park. Get ur done!

"tractor tipping" that was a nice touch. Made me think of another comedy hit where cow tipping was used, but pissing on an electrical fence was one of the better scenes,( among many).

Cow tipping is not to be confused with Fainting Goats.

It's due to some genetic disorder that causes leg muscles to freeze for a few seconds when the goat is frightened.
