LOL, who really knows? I just chose Chrysler due to the reference of it in the movie.
Ford could be God, and Crysler could be Christ, the son of God. 
Or maybe Minnie wasn’t referring to a specific car/person/maker, and could be just muttering a swear oath.
That too! Could be a bit of both. 
Actually, that makes me begin to wonder…what is religion like in the Cars world? That could make for an interesting forum topic!
Now, after the last chapter I doubt this one will live up to expectations because it is what I like to call an “in between” . It helps the story move along in between events. Anyways, here it is!
CHAPTER FIVE
It was late afternoon as McQueen made his way to the restored Wheel Well. After storming out on Sally he’d been out to Willy’s Butte to practice with Doc. Racing helped clear his mind and allowed him to cool down from their fights. He felt awful that they ever fought. He often dreamt of those first few days, when they fell into love. Everything was so carefree back then. Maybe it would be again, they were only enduring a rough patch with the Piston Cup fast approaching and stress mounting.
He finally reached the Wheel Well and called over one of the employees. “Megan! Is Sally here?”
“Sorry Lightning, she hasn’t came by here at all today,” she replied.
That’s strange…she always checks the motel around this time. She isn’t that mad at me is she?" he thought worriedly before speeding off for town.
Meanwhile, Sally sat at Flo’s sipping gasoline. Justin’s words had even taken the sweetness out of her favourite drink. She stopped sipping and went back to indulging in her self-pity. She wanted so badly to tell someone about what happened. She gazed around the town. There were so many people she could confide in, like Flo, or Doc, even Red. Flo would give her advice, like the older sister she never had. Doc was the wisest car she knew, she trusted her life with him; let alone her secrets. Or Red, he would hear her out and for obvious reasons, never say a word.
She began considering the idea to tell one of them. Then she realized something. Nobody here really talked about their past outside of Radiator Springs. Of course they all knew about Doc, but before that no one ever asked. Radiator Springs was like that; a safe havan. An unspoken policy surronded the town: don’t ask, don’t tell.
(continued in next post)
Sorry, I’m typing this via DSi so I reached the character limit, here’s the rest…
“Sally are you OK?”
“Everything’s fine,” she said.
“Well, could I talk to you alone?”
“Yeah sure, let’s go.”
They made their way to the drive-in. It was still daylight and the place was empty. They headed for the corner of the lot and parked side by side in the shade. McQueen gazed at Sally, he knew she wasn’t happy.
“Sally, I know something is wrong, and it’s probably my fault,” he said quietly.
She bit her lip nervously, “Don’t say that Stickers. Nothing is wrong unless you believe it is.”
“I believe, and I think you do too,” he answered.
She closed her eyes and drew a deep breathe. Of all the people she could tell, McQueen was the one she HAD to tell.
“You know how sometimes you need to tell someone something but you just can’t find the strength? I feel like that…” she explained.
“Then why don’t you tell me?”
“I want to, I just can’t yet. I promise I will though. I just need more time to think. Now what did you want to talk about?”
“I needed to apologize about this morning. I’m sorry, I was being really irrational,” he replied.
“No! You were right, I was being so unsupportive.”
“OK! OK! We both apologize! So…you’re still my date tommorrow for cruisin’ night?” he asked.
Sally smiled, “Everytime.”
Her answer made his heart swell with happiness. He nuzzled agaist her, Sally, baby, now if you would just tell me you’d be mine forever and ever.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
There you have it. A simple and sweet chapter. 
‘Cruisin Night’ will be explained next chapter but you can probably already guess what it is basically!
I really loved how you hinted at Sally’s relationships with these RS figures based on how you interpreted the movie! That was brilliant.
Of course, that leaves a lot of room for secrets. Oh, you spelled ‘haven’ wrong, BTW.
The dialogue between Lightning and Sally meandered a little, but I really loved this line from Sally:
If there was a trailer for your fanfic, this would make a great opening line. I think it sums up the theme of your fanfic.
Anyway, keep on 'truckin!
Very dramatic story so far! a lot of emotion and unsolved answers in between!
I wonder what kind of Porsche Sally is? A Cayman S? A 911 Carrera?
Ah you beat me to it! I could have answered that question in 1 second flat! Anyways, yes she is a Carrera (hence my username). I’m glad you liked that line of Sally’s, I edited that line many times until I got what I wanted so it’s good to hear that the importance transfered to the reader. And thank you for telling me ‘haven’ was spelt wrong I thought so but wasn’t sure, I will change that. Also good to hear that this chapter didn’t make you lose interest, the next chapter is going to be a lot more…interesting. I don’t wanna give anything away but come prepared…
So in other words,even though Lightning has changed and has already proven that he loves Sally,he’s still a wominizing,jerk? I’m confused…
Nice fic btw,I got confused at first,but as I started reading along,it made more sense…
I was referring to Carrera’s OC, Justin, in the 2nd sentence. By the way, you spelt ‘womanizing’ wrong.
CarsLuver! It’s awesome to see a new reader And yes, thedriveintheatre is right, that line is about Sally’s ex. There seems to be some debate over it so I shall clear it up: the engagement rim was intended for Sally ONLY, not another girl. As for McQueen being a womanizer/jerk, I for one do not believe that McQueen is still a jerk and I don’t want to represent him that way in the story. I truly think that after everything that happened he has become a much better car, hopefully the second movie will prove that to me though!
P.S. I’m looking at Monday for the next chapter or Tuesday at the latest, just to keep you updated.
EDIT: My mistake, those are the days I can’t post so it will be Wednesday.
It’s Wednesday! I would now like to re-issue that risk to my readers…you’ll see… 
CHAPTER SIX
On the last Friday of every month Radiator Springs had began holding “Cruisn’ Night”. It had a variety of names though; 50’s night, Blast from the Past, but it was still the same event. Neon lights, happy couples and oldies music. Although, the young import cars had recently convinced Lizzy to mix in some current tunes as well. Otherwise they felt it wasn’t “cool” enough to bring their girlfriends.
Sally didn’t mind the music changes though. It still felt like a dream to her, one that McQueen had made come true. She couldn’t believe she even had a life before him. A life before him…exactly what she needed to tell him about. Deep in her heart she knew that she wanted to marry him. She wanted to enter a new life with him, one free of baggage.
As soon as it was dark enough for the lights to come on McQueen arrived at the Cozy Cone lobby. He was all dressed up in his cruising outfit, something he rarely wore. “Ready to go?” he asked.
“Yeah, I am,” she replied. She followed McQueen outside and glanced up and down the street. Thankfully, she hadn’t seen Justin around since he’d arrived. That was the last thing she needed; McQueen getting into a clash with her ex.
They made their way down the road, falling into their usual routine. Having a drink or two, joking around with Mater and chatting with Doc. Some tourists mingled around but the crowd died down quickly. Many cars were busy packing into the big cities before the big race so most were gone by 10pm. Sally and McQueen were parked together just in front of Stanley’s statue, content in each other’s presence.
“About the other day…the fight and all that. I’m gonna make it up to you Sal,” McQueen said.
She didn’t argue but mentally noted to expect a pot of flowers the next morning.“That’s lovely Stickers. We should probably get going though, it’s getting late.”
McQueen nodded and the two of them slowly drove back to the Cozy Cone. They took the nearest path which was the farthest route to McQueen’s cone. Instead of cutting across in front of the lobby they took the longer way around back. They were directly behind the lobby when Sally stopped. McQueen drove ahead a bit before turning around to face her. His eyes were curious and a tiny smile tugged at his mouth.
For a moment she took it all in and flat out stared. She gazed lovingly at his charming blue eyes, that deep red paint and those whitewalls that drove her wild.
McQueen lifted an eyelid at Sally’s gaze, “Hey, what’s that look supposed to mean?”
She smiled and eyed him seductively. “Guess,” she said reversing towards the old employee room attached to the back of the lobby.
“Is this it?” he drove forward and brushed his lips against hers.
Sally smiled again before backing up and hitting the door switch. “Come get me,” she whispered.
McQueen followed her into the employee room and the door clicked shut. She flicked her headlights off and it was pitch black. There was no sound except for the lobby radio that could be heard through the thin walls. It was playing “S&M”. S and M, Sally and McQueen…what could be more fitting? she thought to herself. The fast beat pulsed through her veins while the sexual lyrics rang into the room. She began kissing him passionately, like never before. She was so…in love. This was that feeling that Justin could never have given her…
S-S-S and M-M-M
:laughing: So now you see why I put a warning on it, some people might not find this subject matter acceptable so please don't report. I tried to leave as much to the imagination as possible. :stuck_out_tongue: Oh, and "S&M" is property of Rihanna, you might want to give it a listen if you think it will improve your understanding of the chapter.What a Twist! And also, yes, pretty promiscuous at the end!
Teehee :3 Now you can see why I just described this chapter as being “interesting”.
God Lightning and Sally… 
Just asking out of curiousity why does everybody think that way about Lightning and Sally…I think they may be Pixar’s what’s the word I’m looking for…? Seductive couple? 
Hahaha! I know! No one ever really mentions it about any other couples. I’m not sure why…maybe it’s because they are more young and sexy. LOL I don’t know, perhaps it’s just the chemistry between them?
CHAPTER SEVEN
“Sally! Sally…” a voice called her name softly. She blinked a thin layer of dust off her eyelids while she adjusted to her surroundings. The room was dim and dusty, cluttered with old objects. McQueen was parker before her with a happy grin.
“What is it Stickers?” she mumbled in a tired voice.
“It’s morning already Sal, let’s go!” he said.
“Huh? Where?”
“I have to make it up to you, remember?” he asked.
Sally giggled, “Then what do you call last night?”
McQueen thanked his lucky sticker that cars couldn’t blush. “Oh Sally,” he said kissing her for a moment. He felt Sally’s tongue on his lip but instead of parting them he pulled away.
Sally sighed, “You don’t really want to go out yet do you? I’m still tired.”
“Alright, we’ll go to Flo’s first. I’ll buy,” he replied. She reluctantly gave into his offer and followed him outside.
After breakfast she felt more alert. McQueen had instructed her to follow him and they were currently on their way to the Wheel Well. Sally was a bit puzzled. This didn’t seem like anything special, just a typical Saturday drive. They were about to pass the waterfall when McQueen dropped his speed. He stopped just after the bridge and let out a breathe.
“I don’t understand?” she said.
“You will, but you’re just going to have to trust me okay?”
“You know I trust you with every gear in my body,” she answered.
“Good, now don’t be afraid,” he said. He began moving brush and crushing plants. He revealed a small, narrow path alongside the cliff leading towards the waterfall. It was wide enough only for one car at a time. McQueen cautiously drove down the path with his body close to the cliff. Sally felt nervous but forced herself to follow behind.
The path widened and opened up to a flat landing behind the waterfall. They were tucked privately behind the down pouring water. The air was misty and cool. It was so serene, so beautiful and peaceful. “I didn’t even know this path existed!” she said breathlessly.
“It doesn’t really lead anywhere but to this landing. I found it a while back and I was waiting for the right time to show you,” he explained.
“It’s amazing Stickers, there aren’t many places in the world like this,” she sighed. She closed her eyes and relaxed gently onto his side.
“We should get married…” McQueen said casually.
Sally’s eyes flew open at the speed of light and her body jerked upwards. “What did you just say?”
McQueen laughed and backed up to face her. “Ah Sally, if only you knew how much I love when you say that.”
She blinked her eyes a few times in surprise. Marrying him had become her latest fantasy but in all the variations she’d dreamt up none of them had went like this. She was stunned and thrilled, but something lingered in the back of her mind. This time instead of clouding her thoughts it went straight to her lips. “McQueen, there’s something I want to tell you about. I’ve been wanting to tell you for ages but now it’s time…”
She told him about everything; Justin, her parents, the engagement rim. McQueen didn’t say a word until she let every word run out. “That’s all then?” he asked at last.
“Yes…”
He laughed light-heartedly, “Oh Sal! I can’t believe you kept that from me for so long!”
“I’m sorry-” she began.
“Sally, I don’t care about your past! I know you as who you are now and that’s all that matters. I’m glad you told me but that doesn’t change a thing, I love you for who you are. Cars change, they all make mistakes but that doesn’t mean a thing because the past is gone. You of all cars should know that, don’t you see it in me? I’ve changed so much, into a better car and a lot of that is thanks to you.” He drove around her kissing every one of her tires as he made his way back around. “Sally Carrera, baby I love you more than you’ll ever know…and if you believe me then please…please say you’ll marry me.”
Tears glazed her eyes while her heart pounded with joy, “Yes Lightning McQueen, I will marry you.”
So romantic <img src="//pixarplanet-forums.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/cc83e9b583138e48ff45f96609046b06d06c7f9d.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green"/> By the way, I got the waterfall idea from the Cars video game, there is a landing either behind the waterfall or nearby it in the game if that helps to visual it a little better. Comments are appreciated!Oh yay, the romantic climax!
And then, the downfall, i’m sure Justin is going to interfere or Sal’s parents!
