A Volvo video from the past

Brought to you by Noz-e8tr.

Wouldn't you like to see auto makers abuse their cars in TV commercials like they did in this video. My favorite part is when the car gets airborne!

Wide Body Supra

Very nicely done video from the good folks at JPJ Studios. All I have to say is those wheels have some LIP! Pretty mean looking car, especially with the carbon hood and extra width. Most of the time I say "Supras need spoilers" but somehow this one looks better without one. Loved that it pulled it off, makes the car look more hunkered down IMOHO.

Video Lap of Sebring

I love these video laps of various tracks, you get a good feel for the personality of the circuit. Sebring for example is very flat, few trees... probably the antitheses of Spa, but still a fun circuit. Check it out.
