Target advertised the die cast cars from the new disney movie "Cars" in Sundays sales flyers. They showed the Hippie bus from the movie in the flyer along with the main cars. When I got to Target Sunday they were sold out of every "Cars" die cast car. Hope you all have better luck in Chattanooga and can find them more easily.

Hey Anthony, I found out what the license plate numbers stand for.

George Carlin does the voice for Fillmore.  The numbers on the plate correspond with George Carlin's birthday.

Here's some more stuff that was posted on the Full Moon Bus Club's website:
Quote

Fillmore from Pixar's movie Cars is a 1960 VW bus and Radiator Springs' resident hippy. Fillmore is voiced by George Carlin and has over 60 bumpers stickers:

“Recycle Your Oil”
Three “Flo’s V-8 Café” stickers
“Free Mother Road”
“Groovy and Love
“Portland Concrete on My Mind”
“Please Recycle”
“No Interstate”
“Go Natural, Drink Organic Fuels”
“Certified Organic Oil”
“Home Sweet Road”
“I’m an Eco-Bus”
Six “Peace” signs
“Stop the Superslab”
“Your Mother Road Loves You”
A flower
A heart with 66 in it
Oval RS
“Ornament Valley”
“Open Road U.”
A rainbow
“Peace on the Open Road”
A rainbow butterfly
Recycling emblem
A Route 66 shield
“Turn On to Recycling”
“Life Begins at the Offramp”
“My Inner Car is Electric”
A sticker that has a 66 shield on it with a tire track over that says “Tread on Me”
“Recycling: It’s a Gas”
“Save Mother Road”
“Flower Power”
“I (heart) Recycled Oil”
“Drink Organic Oil”
“Free Mother Road”
“Question Interstate”
Recycling symbol with “Take a Drive on the Wild Side”
“100% Organic Fool”
“Fillmore Organic Fuels”
Recycling emblem
“Pardon My Backfire, I Eat Veggie Fuels”
“Save 2-D Animation”
“One Way” (recycling symbol)
“Interstate” inside a stop sign
“I Brake for Jackalopes”
“Support Organic Refiners”
“I (heart) 2 Recycle”
“Recycle Your Oil” with a yin-yang symbol
An oil derrick with a slash through it

A bigger 66 shield and a heart
“Got Solar?”

You can also get a free full size metal tag featuring either Mater or Filmore for 5 "Cars Tokens" ( or 1 token and $2.98 ) from the backs of some Kelloggs cereal.  The tags come with two sets of stick-on letters so you can customize them.

Looks like I'm gonn'a be eat'n Corn Pops and Happy Meals for a while!  :lol:

Well I guess it's a good thing that Disney and McD's are ending their merchandising partnership after "Cars" is done.

I talked to the manager of my local KayB Toys tonight and she said that the die-cast toys for the Cars movie comes in a box and there is a specific breakdown of how many of each Car character is in a box and there is only "two" Fillmore toys in each box and they only get one box every other week. They had a toy reservation card that I filled out and I get the two that will be in the next shipment.

These are plastic and not the same as the die-cast, so be sure to pick one up.  :D
