Gorgeous. About time someone did this. But they’ve gotta sex up the turgid video production. This made me feel like James Bond’s been demoted to a Department of Motor Vehicles driving instructor.

1. This guy totally blew a stop sign lol.

2. This is barely a car. It is still just a plane with retractable wings, planes can taxi too.
