RosePedal Gives You a Ride & Tells a Story, 2 of 3

March 19th, 2009

You are back in the car, listening to RosePedal talk more about her car issues and the outfit she's wearing.  She ends up taking her boots off and slides on a pair of black patent pumps.  She gets ready to leave and starts pumping the gas pedal before it dawns on her that she isn't in her old clunker car.  Oops!  You two are once again driving down the road.  After some flooring in the pumps, she slips them off to drive in her bare feet. view more.

Scarlet Cranking Volvo in Denim Suit & Tan Boots

March 15th, 2009

I am on my way to a holiday party with some iced cranberry cookies, and my car doesn't want to start.  It doesn't help that the gas pedal is still broken, which I comment on when I first get in the car.  I have to battle with it for a while, and when it does start up, I'm delighted I can be on my way!  I put it in reverse to back out of the garage, but it dies on me.  I get it started again, and I wait a second before putting it in reserve this time, just to make sure the car will stay running.

Kristen Taking the Volvo Out on a Cold, Overcast Day, 4 of 4

March 15th, 2009

In part one, Kristen cranks for Volvo for a few seconds then puts it in gear to go for a drive.  Shish is filming, and he and Kristen talk casually as she drives on a back road.  The car stalls, and she has to spend more time getting it started, with casual revving mixed in.  In clip 2, the battery dies, and I come to their rescue.  While they wait for me, they are being silly.  When she gets it started again, she gives it some good revs, and in parts 3 & 4, she continues driving around back roads. view more.

Scarlet Flooded Cranking Volvo in Cowgirl Boots, 1 of 2

March 12th, 2009

In this series, I am trying to get the Volvo started in a pair of jeans and cowgirl boots.  The car's acting really weird, like it wants to start, but it never actually catches.  It just keeps turning over, sounding like it might catch at any moment.

Tanyia & Xaria Head to School in the Volvo, 1 of 2

,

March 11th, 2009

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.

Xaria’s Car Won’t Start & Tanyia Lends a Leg

,

March 9th, 2009

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.

Aine Cranking Volvo in Boots & Sucking Lollipop

March 8th, 2009

Aine gets into the Volvo wearing a pair of black knee-high boots, and she's eating a lollipop that she keeps in her mouth most of the time.  She pulls the choke out, pumps the gas a few times, and tries to start up the Volvo.  You can tell she's focused as she tries to start the car, and there a few instances where it sounds like it just might start, but she better not get her hopes up. view more.

Veronica Driving the Rental in White Thigh High Boots

March 7th, 2009

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.

Scarlet & Veronica Get the Rental Stuck in the Mud, 2 of 2

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.

Scarlet Cranks & Revs the Coronet in Tan Mules, 2 of 2

February 23rd, 2009

I had to move the Coronet to a different part of the apartment complex so we wouldn't take up too many spaces.  I thought the thing was out of gas though.  The gauge looked like it was below the E line for empty.  To my surprise, it finally starts.  Unfortunately, it won't stay running.  I barely rev it to keep it from dying.  As soon as I let off the gas, it dies.  So I wait a minute before trying again so the battery will have plenty of juice.  Unfortunately, my patience runs out with the Coronet on this day.

This was one of the very first Volvo clips we did with Jeanell the last time she visited.  To her surprise, she got the manual vehicle going on the first try!  She's slowly catching on, and you can tell she's excited in this video because she can now semi-drive the Volvo!  She's wearing a dress with black pantyhose and white stiletto pumps in this clip. view more.

Veronica’s Rental Takes a Dump

February 22nd, 2009

I'm a passenger, and Veronica's driving a Matrix.  I asked her why she pulled over, and she said, "The car just died."  She tries for a while to get it started, frustration evident in her tone.  Then someone pulls over to help, and while he's looking under the hood, Veronica is showing off her black leather gloves on camera.  Then it's back to cranking the Matrix . . . view more.

Kristen cranks up the Volvo, gives it a few quick revs, and puts it in reverse.  She’s off to do some driving while wearing a pair of tan Uggs over her jeans.  At a stop sign, it wants to act up a little, but Kristen makes sure it’s not a long-lived temperamental act. It gives her a little more trouble in clip two, but she manages it. view more.

Jeanell Hot-Stuff Cranking & Revving, 2 of 2

February 17th, 2009

Jeanell has some serious issues with the Volvo in this series.  Part one shows her pumping the gas away in a pair of pink patent thigh-high boots.  She does lots of bounces as she cranks the car, and there is some mild revving scattered about when it does crank from time to time.  At the end of clip 2, there's a little over 1 minute of some mild revving once the car stays running. view more.

Veronica Stranded on a Dirt Road – #65, 2 of 2

February 17th, 2009

The first 2 1/2 minutes of this custom shows Veronica cranking a car, then she gets out and walks around.  She fools around under the hood of the car for a while, trying to figure out why her car won’t start.  The camera focuses on her feet and sling-back sandals as she’s looking.  She notices something odd, tries to fix it, and gets back in the car.  The car starts, and she closes the hood, and slides back into the car to do some nice, hard revving. view more.

Scarlet Can’t Get the Volvo Started in Tan Mules

February 15th, 2009

Okay, so I was really trying to move the Volvo this day.  I moved it to this current parking spot not even 10 minutes prior to this video, and in this clip, I wanted to put it back in the garage since the passenger's window doesn't roll all the way up.  The only problem is, it was being a royal pain in the ass on this day.  It would NOT start, no matter what I did!  It's absolutely baffling because the stupid thing started less than 10 minutes ago, and now it's doing nothing as I crank it in my tan mules/slides.

Veronica “The Stranded”

February 8th, 2009

Veronica is driving down a road she's not too familiar with at night.  She comes to a car broken down on the side of the road, and I ask her to jump off the Volvo because the battery's dead.  She gets out of the Blazer and starts talking only to notice I'm nowhere in sight anymore.  She can't find me anywhere, so she looks under the hood of the Volvo, and can't find anything wrong.  She hears something in the woods, and decides to get out of there - only  her keys have disappeared from where she put them on the Volvo's hood.  She decides to hop into the Volvo and get out of there . . . but it won't start.  She is definitely spooked now . . . and she let's out blood-curdling screams as someone tries to open her door and drag her out of the car at the end. view more.
