Summary
Mack had always said he was a lightweight, but Lightning couldn’t remember ever feeling so affected so fast by a single glass of alcohol.
Rusty squinted at him. “You okay, sonny?”
Lightning just shook his head. “What’s in this stuff?”
“Probably more than what’s supposed to be.” That was Mater, but matching voices to faces was becoming increasingly difficult. The next thing he knew, someone had decided to smack the cup out of his hand.
The day takes a turn for the worst when Lightning and Mater visit their favorite random drifter in the hills, who gives them a taste of his newest batch of moonshine. In his defense, how was Lightning supposed to know that the stuff wasn't made right?

Summary
“Hi, you two. What’s that?” Sally pointed at the long trailer attached to the pickup. “It’s not more boxes, right?”
Fillmore shook his head. “Nah. Lightning had a car he wanted to bring here, but he was riding back in a different one.”
“He was also adamant he did not want or trust the car to make the trip from his apartment to here. He rented out a trailer and had us drive it back.” Sarge added.
Sally felt her face fall. “Another car?” She despaired. ”He has the 95 and whatever his daily is, how could he need another one? Even Doc only has one!”
Fillmore shook his head in pity. “I don’t know, man. Maybe this is just one of those ‘modern racer’ things Doc sometimes goes on and on about.”
“Ah,” Sally said, neutrally. Maybe there were downsides to dating a racer.
Lightning, as a race car driver, likes cars. Sally loves him enough to put up with it.

Summary
NASCAR racing isn't just about driving fast. 42 cars fighting to move up, lap after lap, inside, outside, inches apart, but never touching.
It's also about being able to undo all of your safety restraints, shut off all of your systems, and GET OUT when your car erupts into flames.

Summary
"I don't want to," he says, still feeling a little bit manic from earlier. "Call it a night." He'd been playing it in his head all day and can't figure out what he did wrong. He wants to try it again. "Let me go to the track."
The sheriff starts, blinking at Lightning. "The track?"
Lightning groans low and tries not to throw a complete hissy-fit. "Yes, the track. The dirt track. The one from earlier. That track."
or; during lightning's first week in radiator springs, he and the sheriff have a late night conversation

Summary
"I think we need to take a trip to the Emergency Room, see a doctor," Doc says at the same time Lightning exclaims. "You're a doctor!"
"Just want to make sure nothing is wrong," his mentor says in a calm rational tone that doesn't do anything but make him more ansty. "We can go quickly-"
"It's just gas Doc," he claims. "Really bad gas, I'm totally fine."
"Light-"
"Do you know what I'm feeling right now?" He demands. "Exactly, you don't- so please stop assuming."
It's more aggressive than Lightning usually gets with him, but there is no way in hell he's being toted off to some fucking hospital; especially not for some asshole Doctor, who's not Doc, to just laugh at him for over-reacting about some nuclear level gas pain.
No fucking way.
(Or the one where Lightning gets an appendicitis and is super duper in denial about it- good thing Doc is there to talk some sense into him!)
