In this custom video, Jeanell slides into the seat with her baby in the backseat. She battles with the temperamental Coronet while talking occasionally to her baby, reassuring him that everything's going to be fine and she'll get them moving soon. The Coronet is cranky, and when it does start, it doesn't stay running long enough for her to put it in drive and go. view more.

Skylar walks to the Volvo and tries to crank it up. After a small battle, it starts and she revs it a few quick times. This girl has never driven a stick-shift before, so she tries her best to get it going. She does very well for her first day of driving a manual, though it does stall on her several times. She gets freaked out at the end of the 1st clip because the car starts making weird noises. She gets a little more vocal then. Clip 2 starts with the car stalled on the side of the road, and she has to struggle longer to get it started this time. view more.

As time passes and the car still won't start, Gina gets more frustrated and lights up a cigarette. She talks out loud a lot regarding her bad luck. view more.

Xaria wants to take the Camaro to class, but Tanyia would rather take the Volvo because it's raining. Xaria knows the Volvo is temperamental, so she knows they'll wind up being late for class if they take it. Tanyia insists, gets in the Volvo. After a short cranking spurt, it starts, and Xaria turns on the radio. They goof off while Tanyia drives - until the Volvo dies. It's not long before they're on their way again, but it looks like they might miss class today - especially when it dies a second time! view more.

Jeanell is running late for school in this video, and the Coronet isn't helping her situation. She can't miss a test that will be given that day. She talks to the Coronet, coaxing it to start. She does lots of bouncing as her foot pumps the gas pedal. The Coronet starts from time to time, but it doesn't sound like she's going to make it to class today. view more.

Lyndsey slides into a new Cadillac wearing a pair of black knee-high boots with a short denim skirt. She cranks it up and gets down to business - revving it as hard as she can! She does short, quick revving pumps, and she also holds the pedal to the floor for a few seconds. At the 2-minute mark, she takes off her boots and does some hard barefoot revving. view more.

This video starts with tailpipe shots of the Volvo as Gina tries to get it started. Then it swaps to footwell shots; she finally gets it started and does several minutes of revving (in sneakers and then in her footie socks). It dies on her while she's revving in her socks, so she does a little cranking in her white footie socks and then some cranking barefoot. This clip is 94% footwell shots, 5% exhaust shots, and 1% upper body shots. view more.

Xaria is having some horrible issues with the Coronet. It starts occasionally, but it doesn't sound like it's going anywhere. While she's trying to crank up the Coronet, Tanyia walks out to her car and notices Xaria is having issues. She comes over, knocks on the window and tries to talk Xaria through some steps that might get the car started. Tanyia gets in to try, asking Xaria a bunch of questions about the car. They decide to go in Tanyia's car, but it's not cooperating to well either. view more.

Shish & I are in the car with Veronica during this clip in which she's driving in a pair of white over-the-knee boots and a pair of long black leather gloves. I chat with her here and there, and Shish chimes in once or twice. She's driving the Matrix casually around town, but she does floor it at least once in the video. At the end of the clip, she tries to turn into a "Do Not Enter" area, so she does a U-turn in the middle of the highway! view more.

Getting this car stuck was initially my idea. It’d just rained, and I was excited to actually have mud! Veronica’s driving, and I’m in the back seat. She gets the car stuck and is able to get it out within a reasonable time. Shish decided she should go for round two . . . and neither Veronica or I could get the thing unstuck! view more.
