There are a couple of places in Texas that were inspiration for characters in the movie Cars. One is in Shamrock and one in Adrian. When you get to Amarillo, don't fall for the Big Texan Steak House. It is a tourist trap with over priced and poorly cooked steaks. On the east side, TxDOT has a real nice welcome center/rest stop. Amarillo has a nice campground on the west side of town, cant remember the name. I guess the Cadillac Ranch is worth the 5 minutes it takes to stop and snap a picture, it is free after all. Amarillo has a museum dedicated to the helium industry. There is also the quarter horse museum and a Native American museum. It is hot and dusty there, but may be worth a day.
