"The Real" McQueen

This is Cooper's Lightening McQueen toy from the movie Cars 2:

You'd think it was attached to Cooper's hand... I hardly see him without it.

He has Mater too and they're often joined by random hot wheels

of the correct color to immitate the other characters from the movie.

They join Cooper for breakfast.

And lunch.

During his rest time:

And a late night movie in Mommy's bed... a favorite thing.

I've even seen McQueen drive a four wheeler.

And one day I saw Cooper had placed them here while he went to use the restroom:

Out of reach of the only person in the house who is shorter than he is.

We actually have three McQueens... but only one is painted like

the one in the second movie and he is the one Cooper calls, "The real McQueen".

(He's the one that says "World Grand Prix" on his spoiler)

Miles doesn't know the difference and is happy that there are plenty to go around.

"The real McQueen" went missing for a few days and Cooper was pretty sad.  We looked all over and didn't find him. He was finally found in Daddy's drawer with his undershirts!  ...who knows how he got there!
