Barry Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hey Bill, did Mack have something to do with getting their name in the movie, or did Disney do it on their own? Just curious how that works??

Mack 3P Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I am assuming Mack had to agree to allow the use of the logo. None of us knew about it till today. As part of the movie promotion some of the cars from the movie will be visiting WHQ on the "Disney/Pixar Road Trip '06". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris88 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I went to see the movie last night and it really was a funny movie. The people I went with thought I was nuts when i saw "mack" and didnt stop talkin about how they used a superliner in the movie. I didnt think the movie was going to be as good as it was. Larry the cable guy was a pisser in it. Everyone that went with me was into NASCAR including me so I think we got the movie more than anyone else in the theatar. We were laughin our @$$'s off at things when everyone else had no idea what was goin on. But thats because I live in Jersey and to people in Jersey NASCAR is just a bunch of stupid rednecks goin in circles all day. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
