* After helping the King, Lightning turns down a big-time offer from the King's sponsor, Tex. Then after a pause, he says "Actually, there is ONE thing you could do." Cut to Mater riding in a helicopter, having the time of his life, because he's always wanted a copter ride.

Cut to Mater riding in a helicopter, having the time of his life, because he's always wanted a copter ride. Made even better when you remember that Lightning wasn't being sincere when he said he would get Mater a ride in a helicopter. But now he remembers his promise to Mater and chooses to keep it.

Added DiffLines:

* Even before his HeelFaceTurn when he was a spoiled, uncaring snob, Lightning still had a few good moments:
** Revealing himself to the crowd at the start and posing for the paparazzi after the race.
** Giving a little smooch to the press just after Mia and Tia are taken away by security.
** Talking with The King, who is the nicest of the other racers and gives wise advice.
** Feeling sad for himself after ending his call with Harv, which is the first indication of his potential image change later on.

* The first time Lightning meets Sally, he is completely mesmerized by her and begins a love-inducing conversation with her. The dreamy look in his eyes and heartfelt smile he has throughout adds it all up.

Added DiffLines:

* The entire Tractor Tipping sequence is humorous, but also cute because it's the first time Lightning actually gets to play a game with someone who really likes him.
* Mater offering to be Lightning's lawyer in Traffic Court. Besides Lightning sighing and rolling his eyes in response, it was a very nice thing of Mater to do so, since he was the only one there who immediately warmed up to him and already recognized him as a friend.

Added DiffLines:

* Though it is a tearjerker, shortly before Lightning's departure as he talks with Sally, right after she says "It was much more than that" we get a shot of Lightning's reaction. Upon close inspection, he has tears in his eyes, making this the very first time he really cried and had a mental heartbreak following his HeelFaceTurn throughout his visit. It's sad and adorable all at once.

** And after the race is over, the King's wife kisses Lightning on the cheek (or fender?) and thanks him for his selflessness. Owen Wilson's gentle delivery of Lightning's "You're welcome" just sells it; [[CharacterDevelopment there is no way the Lightning from the beginning of the movie would have spoke to ANYONE like that.]]

[[AC:Cars]]




[[AC:Cars 2]]
* In ''Cars 2'', Mater's falling out with his buddy Lightning ''may'' be a bit forced, but at least Mater takes the time, before heading out on the secret mission, to write him a farewell letter saying how he is sorry to be such a burden on this trip and feels it is best for him to leave early. Guido agrees with this Crowning Moment.
** Near the end of the film, Lightning feels bad for the way he treated Mater. And wants to reconcile with him, even while he's too busy stopping a bomb.
* Holley Shiftwell finally requiting Mater's feelings for her with a MeaningfulEcho.
* The Piston Cup being made into a memorial for Doc.

* Right before he leaves Radiator Springs, Sally thanks McQueen for everything he did. He responds, "It was just a road," and she answers back, "No, it was much more than that." It contains a double meaning. McQueen didn't just fix the road, he helped fix the whole town back up and gave everyone a newfound sense of pride for their town. But also, for many people--in both the movie AND real life--Route 66 was much more than just a road. For many, it was a way of life and a thing of wonder, something that ought to never be forgotten.

* With Doc as [=McQueen's=] new crew chief, you see the rival pit crews look up at him in pure awe, and the camra crew have a mini freakout when they realize it's the Fabulous Hudson Hornet. Soon after the announcement is made, a few fans a heard realizing it and soon you see the crowd shift and realize the ''entire stadium'' is cheering for him. The industry may have moved on, but the ''fans'' never forgot him.
