DARRELL CARTRIP'S KNOW YOUR CARS

Darrell Cartrip: Hello everybody, and welcome to today's Know Your Cars. I'm your host, Darrell Cartrip. As you know, this season we've been doing interviews of the folks that live in the new headquarters of Piston Cup racer Lightning McQueen. Today we have on the town's only married couple. Let's give a big welcome to Ramone and Flo!

Thanks for being on the show.

Ramone: Hey, no problem man.

Flo: Glad to do it.

DC: So, now Ramone, what's your story?

R: Well, it's not much, man. I've lived in Radiator Springs all my life, and while growing up, I liked art. So I became a body artist.

DC: Hmm, detailed. And Flo, what's your story?

F: Well, mine's a bit longer than his. I was a show girl, with the Motorama Girls, and we were traveling all over the United States. We were on a tour and we stopped in Radiator Springs to stay for the night. I saw Ramone, and mmmm-mmm it was love at first sight. The Motorama girls left the next morning, but I stayed.

DC: Well that's wonderful. So, Flo you own the cafe right?

F: Yup. At Flo's V8 Cafe we serve...or I serve, the finest fuel on Route 66!

DC: Wow. So how'd you come to own a cafe though?

F: Well, after me and Ramone were married, I didn't want to just be a stay at home person. Ramone was already successfully running the House of Body Art, so I decided that Radiator Springs needed a bigger cafe than the small one that was already there. So we built my cafe right by Ramone's House of Body Art, and right behind that is our home.

DC: So, what did you think of Lightning when he came to town?

R: Well, I was mad cause he scratched my paint job. He didn't do anything to my store. I thought he was kind of a jerk when he refused

DC: How about you Flo?

F: I thought he was very good looking, but...

R: Woah! Hey! You thought he was muy guapo? (looking jealous)

F: Well of course, I mean come on, right ladies?

(crowd of women going crazy)

R: Hmph.

F: Oh, you know mi corazon perdido en ti.

DC: So, uh, Flo, you were saying?

F: Oh yeah, well, I was saying that I thought he was good looking, but I could see that under his jerkish outside, he could really be a good person. And I saw that no matter what Sally tried to do to cover it, I could tell that she liked him.

DC: So in other words, they weren't that secretive, were they?

F: Nope.

DC: So, Ramone, what enspired your paint scheme of Lightning? We're told that you're the master artist of his new design.

R: Oh yeah...well I wanted to keep it old school, so I stuck with the red, but added a lot of flake to make him shine man. And true to his name, I gave him some lightning bolts.

DC: Sounds pretty cool.

R: Yeah man...in fact, (looking at Darrell) don't take this the wrong way, but you could use a new paint job man. You should come into to Radiator Springs, man, I'll do anything you want...a new flame job, pinstriping, even ghost flames!

DC: Wow, well that's an offer I couldn't refuse! Well, that's all the time we have for today. Join us tommorow when we have Sarge and Fillmore on the show. Thanks for watching, I'm Darrell Cartrip. Until tommorow,

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, LETS GO RACING BOYS!

Hey, sorry about the stories, they keep getting shorter, but I had a really hard time of getting things for them to talk about...I would have put more spanish in for Ramone, but I thought that would have been too wierd (alot of good my 4 years of Spanish have done me). Uh...oh in case you're wondering, mi corazon perdido en ti means 'my heart belongs to you'. thanks for the reviews everyone!
