That’s the title for this journal, mostly because I’ve had a lot of things to do with cars on my mind. Anyway, I’ll start at the beginning of the month. New obsession people: Pixar’s cars. I have two multi-chapter fics planned. One is up, ‘Forgotten Highways’ [link] , and the other is going to be called ‘I Haunt the Sherriff’ (mock title of the great song). If anyone else is a huge Cars fan I recommend Maji [link] . I suggest reading all her Cars fics. She is that awesome.

Another thing with cars … you know what it is: Revenge of the Fallen. As you may or may not know. To get all giddy about its release, I put out some sample fics of probable multi-chapters: All-Mother, Squeak, and Cabbie. I love them all, but Cabbie really got to me because Simmons has a HUGE part in the second movie. SQUEEE! Sadly, I was hoping that characters like Miles would get more attention … didn’t even mention him, which isn’t so terrible. The movie was good, but the only people that really got any character development in this movie were Starscream, Ron, Judy, Mikaela, and Sam. All the other original cast was either minimal or gone all together. Sad day … still love the movie though. A must see if you are a transformers fan … especially when you get to see Soundwave’s design. Can you say bow-chick-a-wow-wow baby!

Anyway, awesomeness, but it didn’t give me a whole bunch of plot bunnies and for that I’m glad. I still have too many leftovers from the 07 movie.

Lastly, last car is of the real kind … like car show kind. Hubba-hubba! Anyway, Elk Point had its lovely summer celebrations which include a car show, live street bands, and a cowboy show. I got obsessed with the pretty no-touchies so I forgot the cowboys. All the pretty Chevelles, Camaros, Stingrays, Roadrunners, VW’s (yes, there were some awesome VW’s there XD), Willys, and to many pretties to count. I took pictures, so as soon as I figure out how to get them off my sister’s phone I might put them up on my live-journal account. Yet, the best part was when the cowboys came to me!

Yep, the thieves robbed the town’s drug store, took a hostage, and faced off against the sheriff and his deputies. It was hilarious. Not because the actors fell out of character or anything like that, but because the crowd was yelling things like ‘shoot the hostage’. It was great. The fake shoot out was awesome too … but the best thing had to be was when the band started to play ‘I shot the Sheriff’ afterwards.

Yep, there’s my journal for this month.
