If you are a “Cars” and Apple fan,

you want to help us make history

This is the item Mac and Pixar fans are eagerly waiting for. For one brief moment, the Apple “84” car made a cameo appearance in Pixar’s Box Office hit “Cars”. That split second in the movie carries more history and nostalgia than any appearance in animated film history. There is no other character in any animated movie that with such short appearance could raise the enthusiasm car 84 has created. It’s only fitting that Mac and Pixar fans as well as “Cars” collectors have a chance to own a piece of history like car 84. We are asking Mattel, Disney/Pixar and Apple Inc. to make a die-cast model of our beloved 84 car.

iWant MUG of Puerto Rico wants people who agree with us to take a moment to read and sign our online petition. I will only take 5 minutes of your time and it will make us, and possibly kids and collectors around the world, very happy. So join us in the petition.

My name is Javier Juarbe, an avid Apple User since 1991. I am also a Pixar movie fan. My 2-year-old son loves Pixar movies and his favorite is “Cars”. He has also picked up my love for Apple products and can spot them a mile away.

The first time I saw “Cars” at the movie theater, my family and I were the only ones who jumped, pointed at the screen and shouted “Look, an Apple Car!" Now my son calls me to his room just a minute before the Apple 84 car shows up. In the limited vocabulary of a 2 year old he shouts “Dad, Dad, come, Apple, Car, coming, coming.”

I have bought just about every die cast car from the movie for my son. His room is decorated in the "Cars" movie theme, and I am sure this is the same for many kids around the world. I will love to point out the quality and amazing detail of the entire “Cars” line by Mattel, a brand that had much to do with me as a child and now with my own son. (Who in my generation did not play or own Big Jim or Malibu Barbie?)

As a Mac/Pixar fan, I understand the significance between Apple’s “84” car cameo in the movie, and the history of Apple, Pixar and Disney as companies. Apple’s domination of the digital entertainment market with the iPod/ iTunes Store, and the historic Pixar–Disney deal, made it more than appropriate for the appearance of car 84 in the movie. That was the year the Macintosh was introduced and the famous Superbowl XVIII commercial. These are events still discussed today within computer and advertising circles.

So today I ask Mattel, Disney-Pixar and Apple, on behalf of the Mac Users Group of which I preside, car collectors, and Pixar and Apple fans around the world, one simple thing:

We want a die cast Apple 84 car!

It would be as historic for Mattel, Apple and Disney-Pixar as the aforementioned events. It will unite fans from all circles just like the movie united the animation and NASCAR worlds, and created further interest in the history of Route 66. I am sure it will become an instant collector’s item, sought after by fans, and it will do justice to a split second in the movie that means so much to a lot of people. To all companies involved with this type of decision, please consider our petition.

Sincerely,

Luis Javier Juarbe
