The strength and will that these families with kids fighting illness or cancer gave me the idea behind it. Life is far to short to just sit back and do nothing with it. Why not change lives and give these kids a fighting chance!

Great story and you and your wife are special to give to kids who need so much. Puts a lump in my throat reading it. I travel a lot in third world countries and it's not until you have a 4-6 year-old child ask you for your empty plastic water bottle so they can use it for a soccer ball that you realize how blessed we are in America.

Bless you and your wife. Fighting cancer as an adult was rough enough on me and my family; I can't even imagine what young children and their families are going through. What you are doing may not seem like much, but it is more then you know. To bring happiness and positively impact their lives can only increase their ability to fight whatever illness they are facing. I know those things greatly helped me in my battle. THANK YOU!!

A genuine answer from two genuine people. Sorry I didn't see your reply until now.

Sorry for posting on an old thread, but I saw your car and was wondering if you could help. I have seen a few different Lightning McQueen cars out there, but you have the best and most accurate graphics that I have seen. I am interested in making a similar sticker kit for my C6 Grand Sport and was wondering if you have the graphic files themselves you can share? I live in PA and was hoping to print them locally.

I participated in a trunk or treat last year with my niece and nephew, which is a trick or treating event held in a church or school paring lot. It gives kids a place to trick or treat safely if they do not live in a neighborhood with houses near by, or maybe in an area where it is not safe to be out late. Last year I gave my truck a Cars themed costume, but after participating and seeing the others displays I decided I needed to step my game up this year. It was a good experience, and I am hoping to add the C6 this year along with some other things as well.

If you can offer any help that would be really great. Thank you for your time.

Evening,

unfortunately the company that wrapped the car is no longer around so the would be file doesn’t exist at this time. Thank you for the kind words! We have considered building another Mcqueen vette but with the C7 ZR1 chassis, however at this time I do not have any file I can provide.
