Has any one else noticed the it only took McQueen 3 days to fix the road? Doc said that it takes 5 days.

Yeah, that definitely took some dramatic license there. I'd say even five days would be rather short for a job like that, as I have seen construction crews work for weeks on one street or stretch of road.

Actually, it's 5 days. Because if you watch closely when McQueen wakes up on the first day to find himself in the RS Impound with a boot on and then keep track of when each night comes, you can actually count out each day as exactly 5 days.
Even Darrell (or was it Bob?) says he's been missing for 5 days when McQueen shows up for the Tiebreaker race, so it's really 5 days.

Yes he's mising for 5 days but here, think of it this way. Let's say that Piston cup races are on Sunday so the movie starts on Sunday and McQueen leaves the race Sunday night and "Life is a Highway" is all on Monday, and Monday night he ends up lost. Tuesday is the trial and Tuesday night the badly paved road is being scraped off, it is Wednesday when eveyone wakes up to a nicely paved streach of road and Wednesday night is tractor tipping, Thursday he goes for a dive with Sally and Mater has let loose the Tractors. The next morning, Friday, the road is done and the reporter's show up Friday night. So he started on Tuesday night and finished over night into Friday morning. Bob or Darrel may have counted Monday as a day missing making 5 days, but I don't know.

Of course if the first race took place on Saturday, that would allow for five days.

That would be a possibility...

I'd always meant to watch the movie and count the days, so thanks for doing that! It's hard to believe he went through such a big transformation in only a few days and became the likeable guy who helped King.

Yeah Evangeline but we live in Fredericton - a place notorious for tearing up streets and leaving them for weeks. Efficiency is not their strong point lol. Did it take him 3 or 4? 4 overall, but that's counting the day that he lost shoveling off everything that he had paved badly before, so you're right, it would've been 3 overall. Then again, Lightning worked nights too, so he worked all day and all night on it - I still wonder when the poor guy slept! |

Hard, hot, dirty work has a way of sobering people up in a quick way, unless they're hardened convicts on a chain gang who couldn't give a crap anyway. Falling hard for a cute girl who you want to prove your worth to might also have something to do with it. |
