    There’s actually some good “racing” – in the car racing sense – at about 26:20. They must be pushing 60mph at times.
    It’s actually pretty hard to find bicycles on racetracks because search engines read “bicycle” as “bike” and give motorcycle results. Still, imagine bicycle racing on gokart tracks. The crashes would be amazing!
    Imagine the Tour De France peloton being sucked down the Laguna Seca corkscrew…

    if you’re into The Hip Hops, you need to see it. it happens to have some cars doing some hooning (though i think the hooning is happening in the Bay Area) so it’s totes ‘verse-relevant.

    if you’re not into The Hip Hops or whatever politics might be associated with it, just mute it and go to like 2:00 because it’s a great video, even outside of the cars. it’s visually arresting, if i were to pick the most pretentious phrase i could.
    language warning.

  3. I just came up with a new game. It’s called Marchionne-era-Lancia-metaphor-stand-off, or MELMSO. I’ll start.
    The Lancia Voyager is like a tiramisu with barbeque sauce.
