Later that night, McQueen found himself lookingout at a herd of sleeping tractors. âMater,â he said,âIâm not doing this.â
âOh, câmon,â Mater urged, âyouâll love it!Tractor tippingâs fun! When I say go, we go. Butdonât let Frank catch you. Go!â Mater took off.
âWhoa!â McQueen cried. âWha-who-who-whoâs Frank?â He peeled off after the tow truck.âMater. Wait, Mater!â
ââKay, hereâs what you do,â Mater explained ashe arrived at the bottom of the hill where the tractorsstood sleeping. âYou just sneak up in front of âemand then honk, and they do the rest. Watch this.âSlowly and quietly. Mater drove up to a tractor.
Honk!
The tractor startled awake. It let out a low moan

as it very slowly started tipping over. A puff ofsmoke burst from its exhaust pipe.
Mater cracked up. âI swear, tractors are sodumb!â he cried gleefully. He snuck up on anotherone and honked, then laughed as it tipped over. âIdonât care who you are, thatâs funny right there. Oh,your turn, bud!â
âMater, I canât,â McQueen said. âI donât evenhave a horn.â
âBaby!â Mater teased. Then he started imitatinga chicken. âBwak, bock, bock, bock!â
âFine, stop, stop, okay?â McQueen sighed. âAllright. Iâll do something.â He drove up to a sleepingtractor and revved his engine.
The roar was so loud that the whole field oftractors startled awake. With a group moan, they alltipped over.
McQueen and Mater laughed.
Suddenly, there was a strange whine, and in amoment, a giant tractor combine appeared. Bladeswhirling, he lunged at them like an angry bull.
âThatâs Frank!â Mater shouted, whipping around.
McQueen took off after the tow truck.

âRun! Run!â Mater Jiollered, laughing hisbumper off. âOld Frankâs gonna catch you! Run!Heâs gonna get you!â
McQueen didnât know why Mater was laughing;that combine was big and angry! Frank closed inbehind as they tore toward an opening in the fence.They made it through the hole just in time and racedonto the open road as fast as their wheels couldcarry them.
âI havenât seen Frank that excited aboutsomethinâ since the last time he was excited aboutsomethinâ,â Mater said as he and McQueen madetheir way back to town. âMustâve been your redbumper. Tomorrow night we can go and look for theghost light.â
âI canât wait, Mater,â McQueen said sarcastically.
âOh, boy, you gotta admit that was fu-un,â Matersaid happily. âWell, we better get you back to theimpound lot.â
âUm, you know,â McQueen said awkwardly,âactually, Sallyâs gonna let me stay at the motel.â
âOh . . . getting cozy at the Cone, is we?â Materteased, arriving at the motelâs parking lot.

ââYouâre in love with Miss Sally.â
âNo, Iâm not,â McQueen said. âNo way.â
â'Way. Youâre in love with Miss Sally.â Materturned his teasing into a singsong. âYouâre in lovewith Miss Sally.â The tow truck turned around andstarted driving backward, taunting the race car. âYoulove âer, you love âer, you love âer, you love âerââ
âWill you stop that?â McQueen said.
âStop what?â Mater asked.
âThat driving backwards stuff,â McQueen saidwith a shudder. âItâs creepinâ me out. Youâre goingto wreck or something.â
âWreck? Shoot, Iâm the worldâs best backwardsdriver. You just watch this right here, lover boy.âWith a whoop. Mater peeled out backward andwove between the Cozy Coneâs traffic cone guestrooms.
