- In Lightning's trailer -

Mack: California, here we come!

Lightning: Dinoco, here we come!

And Mack starts off with a trailer. And when Lightning turned on the lights, Kevin was startled when there were a lot of dolls, figures, trophies, stickers, self-portraits, and more things.

[ Lyrics ]

Life's like a road that you travel on

When there's one day here

and the next day gone

Sometimes you bend,

sometimes you stand

Sometimes you turn your

back to the wind

There's a world outside

every darkened door

Where blues won't haunt you anymore

Where the brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

To break down the garden gate

There's not much time left today

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long

If you're going my way

I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities

and all these towns

It's in my blood and it's all around

I love you now like I loved you then

This is the road and these are the hands

From Mozambique to those

Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again

You're in my blood

I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold

Road so rough this I know

I'll be there when the lights comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long

Lightning is relaxing with a massage machine and Kevin is reading a comic book.

Lightning: I needed this... Hello?

???: Is this Lightning McQueen, the world's fastest racing machine?

Lightning: Is this Harv, the world's greatest agent?

Harv: And it is such a honor to be your agent and it almost hurts to make 10% of your winnings and merchandising and ancillary rights in perpetuity anyway. What a race! Hot champ?! I did- I didn't see it, but I heard you were great.

Lightning: Um... Thanks, Harv.

Harv: Listen, they're giving you 20 tickets for the tiebreaker thing in Cali. I'll pass 'em on to your friends. You shoot me the names. You let Harv rock it for you, alright, baby?

Lightning: Right! Friends! Yes, there's, um...

Harv: Okay, I get it, Mr. Popular, so many friends you can't even narrow it down, hey, when you get to town, you better make time for your best friend, you gotta break bread with your mishpocheh here.

"Yeah, yeah, that would be great! We should totally-" "Okay I gotta jump, kid. L-Let me know how it goes. I'm out."

"A friend you just called, do you know him?" Kevin asks.

"Uh... Yeah, He's named Harv. My good friend." Lightning replied. Then they hear some melodies, and Lightning and Kevin look at the window and a minivan passes by the trailer.

"What?! A minivan?!" (on radio) Oh, come on, Mack, you're in the slow lane, this is Lightning McQueen you're hauling here!" Lightning grumble to Mack, "Just stopping off for a quick breather, kid. Old Mack needs a rest." Then Mack goes to the rest area.

"Absolutely not. We're driving straight to all night till we get to California, we agreed to it!" Lightning asked Mack.

"All night?! May I remind you, federal DOT regs sta-" "Come on, I need to get there before Chick get hang with Dinoco." Lightning cut off Mack.

"But McQueen, he needs a break!" Kevin says good for Mack, but... it's too late. Mack then sees the trucks sleeping in the rest area. "Oh... All those sleeping trucks! (On radio) Hey, kid, I don't know if I can make it." Mack asks.

"Oh, sure you can, Mack. Look, it'll be easy, I'll stay up with you!" Lightning replied. "Really?" Kevin asks. "Of course!" Lightning replied again.

Mack: All night?

Lightning: All night long.

Kevin: How anxious...


Is it really okay?
