Eugene Baak of the Renaissance Boy Go! blog recently discovered that the Ramone’s House of Body Art toy from in the “Cars” movie bears a strong resemblance to the U-Drop Inn in Shamrock, Texas. To show us, he displayed photos of both.
Heck, I could have told you that. 
DUH!! I’M FROM SHAMROCK,TX! YES, IT BEARS A RESEMBLEANCE TO THE U-DROP INN, BECAUSE THE ARTISTS WERE CONSTANTLY IN SHAMROCK SKETCHING FROM EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE YOU COULD THINK OF!! I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I WAS IN MY JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS IN HS, AND DURING MY SENIOR YEAR, THEY FINALLY FINISHED UPDATING THE U-DROP! ALSO, IN THAT MOVIE DID YOU NOTICE HOW THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THE TOWN WHERE 1-40 AND ROUTE66 MEETS USED TO BE A PRETTY BOOMING TOWN, BUT NOW IT’S LIKE A DESERT TOWN. I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG, BUT THAT’S HOW SHAMROCK IS. IT USED TO BE PRETTY HAPPENING, BUT NOW EVERYONE TRIES TO LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK!! IT’S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT SHAMROCK IS ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE 1-40 MEETS ROUTE 66……makes you think, doesn’t it??
