Disney Pixar Cars Tow Mater

Bless his big ole' heart. 

Disney and Pixar's Cars Tow Mater is a perfect mixture of good ole boy, ladies' man, smarty pants, clever, naive, mischievous, talented, daredevil - and is possibly the goofiest character that any production studio has ever created.

You just gotta love 'im.  

This page is dedicated to a very special truck in many people's lives - Tow Mater.

Tow Mater Biography

Tow Mater was brought into this world in the little town of Radiator Springs, along historic Route 66 in the year of about 1955. Although it is not known for sure, he is believed to be the son of Auto and Ani Mater from Provo, UT.

Mater's color as a youngster was light blue (see right photo) but became more and more brownish-rust as time went on. It is possible that his extensive wear and tear was brought about by his obsession with tractor tippin', as shown in the video below:

Mater: Ladies' Man, Daredevil and Best Friend

Mater is not all mischief - he is also the world's master backwards-driver, teacher, loyal friend and counselor on love. (Many a man idolize his Casanova-like finesse with the opposite sex.)

In the video below, you will see all of these fine qualities coming through.

Don't Be Jealous

Although he has many fine qualities, Mater does have one tiny downfall -- he's a tad bit on the gullible side, and can be a bit "dim" if he hasn't had his daily helping of Pennzoil.

Here is a great scene from the movie that shows this side of the very complex Mater...

How Can You Not Love This Guy?

Alright - is it possible not to love Tow Mater? I guess it's possible not to, but difficult to imagine. (Maybe I'll change my mind about this after 100 more viewings of the movie.)

Want to get the most out of life? Watch him, study him, follow his example. Just don't get caught.
