"There's a reason there's a million of these babies on the street and believe me, it wants to win, if you just let it." "TANNER:" "It definitely can beat that." "Really?" "A wagon?"

"It could be the most perfect car ever made." "(SCOFFS) Were you an I.T. guy in another life?" "Right, we're here to race." "Look at this thing." "It's a go-kart." "You could probably pick this up if you wanted to." "This is a man purse on wheels." "That goes fast." "Ish." "RUTLEDGE:" "Adam, apparently, didn'tgetthememo." "Wh..." "I mean, what could you possibly do with that?" "TANNER:" "Where is he going?" "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, gosh, I don't know." "Oh, oh, oh, he's going so fast." "Really?" "Ha-ha!" "This is daily driver." "This is not a daily driver." "Of course it is." "This is a race car you can use as a daily driver." "Gentlemen, behold, the 1969 Volkswagen Baja Bug." "ADAM:" "My Bug has a1.5-litermotor, four-speed manualtransmission, weighinginat afeather-light 1,800pounds, addtothatathree-inchlift,  legendaryGermanengineering, twodeckstripes andyouhavethe  perfectweekendracer." "This is quite possibly the most off-road capable rear-wheel-drive vehicle there is." "Until you come to a hill." "Because it has how much horsepower?" "Ooh." "Okay, it has approximately..." "90 horsepower." "No." "That's way high." "ADAM:" "I said approximately." "Approximately is, like, 50." "50!" "It's approximately." "50 horsepower!" "It only weighs 1,800 pounds." "Lawnmowers have 50 horsepower." "You have to have something that's good at everything." "This is hardly good at anything." "All right, what are we doing with these things?" "RUTLEDGE:" "Let's see." ""To prove who has chosen the best all-round weekend race car," ""you will compete in various styles of racing." ""In this first challenge," ""to see which of your car has the best aptitude on asphalt," ""you will each do a hot lap around the track." ""Fastest time wins."" "That's what I'm talking about." "TANNER:" "Rut was up first." "One lap from a standstill." "You ready?" "Even the windows are slow." "Did you see that?" "(LAUGHING)" "Here's what I've got in my favor, this thing's all-wheel-drive, 227 horsepower." "It's the fastest car here, we know that." "On the downside, this five-speed transmission, a lot of people make the joke that it might actually be made of glass." "So, I have to be really smooth when I shift it, 'cause if you eat through a gear in this thing, then I'm gonna be toast." "Okay, Rut, you ready?" "Wagon attack." "In three, two, one, go get the groceries." "All right, here we go." "Oh, down to second." "There it is." "Okay." "(TIRES SCREECH)" "Oh, I got a little tire rub going on." "Oh. (BLEEP) Whoa." "He's finding his way around the track, going faster than I thought he would." "RUTLEDGE:" "Up to fourth gear." "Here it is." "Come on, baby." "Oh, rotate." "Oh, I struck a lot of speed there." "Come on, baby." "Come on!" "TANNER:" "Okay." "Is it good?" "I don't know." "Holy cow." "Whoo!" "TANNER:" "We'll give you a minute to get on out of that." "ADAM:" "Here you go." "Come on." "Uh-oh." "Wow, did you guys see that?" "I was flying." "ADAM:" "Okay." "You're not even impressed a little bit?" "That was awesome." "I'll be honest with you, we're impressed." "No, not even a little bit." "No." "What was my time?" "137.6." "Did the all-wheel-drive help you?" "Uh..." "Mmm." "Give me a minute, gentlemen." "I'll show you how this is done." "Yeah, you'll show me what slow looks like." "ADAM:" "Okay, my Bug wasn'tbuiltforasphalt, butI hadatrick upmysleeve." "TANNER:" "Oh, my God." "RUTLEDGE:" "What did he do?" "(TIRES SCREECH)" "TANNER:" "Are those racing slicks?" "Ha!" "Look at that." "What do you mean "Look at that?" You can't put racing slicks on." "Why not?" "Everyone that races their cars changes their tires on the weekend." "This is the weekend." "TANNER:" "What Adam didn't know is that he'd now made it dangerous." "Here's the thing, 'cause a lot of people don't realize when you put sticky tires on something that's raised up, it flips easier." "Right to left isn't good in this thing." "Right to left usually means you're on your roof." "So, I'm gonna have to be careful." "You know, this racetrack is where they filmed the movie  Herbie." "Herbie:" "FullyLoaded." "I loved that." "Yeah." "Lindsay Lohan's last great movie." "Before she got awesome." "Before she got awesome?" "What are you talking about?" "(LAUGHING)" "TANNER:" "All right, you'reready?" "RUTLEDGE:" "Here we go in three, two, one, go!" "Here we go." "That's it." "Second gear." "Hey, is he gonna flip in the first corner?" "Come on, baby." "TANNER:" "No, but he downshift in fourth, which was considerate." "Okay, here's one of the things I gotta be careful of," "flipping over." "(TIRES SCREECH)" "The problem is basically turning." "And the straights are presenting a problem, too." "Now, pick up some speed." "Pick up some speed." "Pick up some speed." "ADAM:" "Clearly, I wasn't gonna winthisthelongwayaround." "So,I decidedto flattenout  thecornersabit ." "Ha-ha!" "Cutting a few corners." "Oh. (SHUDDERING)" "There he is." "ADAM:" "Come on, come on, come on." "You got it." "Here we go." "Stop the clock!" "(LAUGHS)" "Unbelievable." "TANNER:" "He still could flip it." "ADAM:" "Sometimes you gotta do whatyougottado,  andthenhopeit'senough." "ADAM:" "Ooh!" "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, my gosh." "(LAUGHING)" "Ha-ha!" "Ha-ha." "Ha-ha?" "I hope you learned something." "(LAUGHS)" "Did you make all of the turns?" "It seemed like you kind of made your own path there in places." "I played to the strength of the Bug." "202." "Ha?" "(LAUGHING) -202." "With an asterisk for still alive." "What?" "Yeah, it's fine." "Just that it tends to roll over a little bit." "I'm..." "You know what?" "These things do have a problem with rolling over." "The outside tire tucks in." "They go over real easy." "This place should be called Miata Raceway." "I'm gonna show you why." "That was good." "Thank you." "Maybe we should move that so he can get his murse up here." "(LAUGHING)" "ADAM:" "Tanner's aracecardriver, andwewereata racetrack." "Somethingneededto be done." "I mean, this is no problem." "You could beat us with your hand tied behind your back." "Well, that's neither here nor there, is it, gentlemen?" "No, it's here." "No, you're not handcuffing me." "Yes, I am." "Found these in your bag." "You know what?" "It doesn't matter." "That's a little too tight." "If anything goes wrong, your safe word is teddy bear." "Teddy bear?" "How's that?" "ADAM:" "I heard you." "It's good." "TANNER:" "Freakin' teddy bear." "See?" "I can hear you." "There's nothing to worry about." "RUTLEDGE:" "All right, you ready?" "TANNER:" "Yeah, I'm ready." "Here we go, powder puff." "In three, two, one, go." "Oh, my gosh." "She is a bit slippery." "Gosh, this is creepy." "Oh, forget it." "I'm not even braking." "Whoa." "Oh, I don't like this." "TANNER:" "Oh, crap!" "Whoa." "(TIRES SCREECH)" "ADAM:" "Coming up, Tannergetsdirty." "TANNER:" "Oh, oh, oh!" "ADAM:" "And later, one of us getstodrivethe ultimate all-terrainvehicle."

"ADAM:" "Oh, he's too quick." "Go third gear." "I don't wanna shift." "I can't shift." "Damn these chains!" "Go!" "Come on!" "Here he comes." "Here he comes." "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "(LAUGHING)" "I hate him." "TANNER:" "What's my time?" "Tell him." "I don't wanna say it out loud." "133." "Yes!" "Yes!" "RUTLEDGE:" "You suck." "TANNER:" "Get me out of this thing." "Just..." "You know what?" "Just follow us." "It's yours." "ADAM:" "Yeah." "Let's go." "Hey, guys." "Hey!" "RUTLEDGE: 18 years of racing," "I don't know what you're so happy about." "Hey!" "You almost got beat by me." "ADAM:" "Being beaten by Tanner inpinkhandcuffs wasjustannoying." "Ournextchallenge was30milesaway atLakeElsinore, andhopefully, bettersuitedformyBug." "ADAM:" "Okay, so the Bug didn't do that good on the road course." "It's not made for that." "It's made for off-road." "Hopefully, our next challenge will be off-road, and I'll show these guys why this was a great choice." "There are three things always kept in a Baja Bug, a fifth of Wild Turkey, a machete and a mullet." "See, I think these cars are perfect, 'cause we only had five grand to spin." "You know, when I was racing my STI, that car was really expensive, so if I wrecked it, I was screwed." "But with this, a $5,000 car, I mean, it's not the most expensive thing in the world." "You could save up your money and get another car pretty quickly." "ADAM:" "We arrived atthePomonaFairplex..." "Oh, yeah." "ADAM:  ...host to car shows, horseracing, andluckilyforme,  awholelotofmud." "(LAUGHS) Watch the Bug come alive." "Oh, God." "RUTLEDGE:" "Now, now, we're in Subaru country." "No, you have..." "Welcome you to Bug world, my friend." "What are you guys talking about?" "This is Miata country." "ADAM:" "You kidding?" "This is where you're gonna die." "You're gonna go into that mud and it's gonna fill up that car." "We'll never gonna see you again." "I'm gonna win." "RUTLEDGE:" "Ooh, what are we doing?" ""Weekend races don't all take place on tarmac."" "No, they don't." ""And in many parts of America, people use their daily drivers to compete" ""in races on or in mud." ""To see which of you has the best all-round race car," ""you'll compete in a classic mud bog race."" "First of all, what's classic about a mud bog race?" "Second of all, that's like a hopped-up non-daily driver." "This is perfect." "This is where it's gonna shine." "With 50 horsepower." "You know what's gonna shine?" "The all-wheel-drive turbo as I plow through that." "I'm going first." "Go right ahead, with no ground clearance." "(SCOFFS)" "ADAM:" "Rut could scuff allhewanted, butthiswasthick quicksand-likemud, 80yardslongand deeper thanTannerFoust." "So, I'm guessing, right about there is where the nose is gonna submarine and he's gonna go in." "Are you boys ready to watch this Subaru carve through a little mud?" "Yeah, you ready to bring it?" "I'm so ready." "All-wheel-drive, turbo power is about to come at you fast." "No ground clearance, you're gonna sink." "Oh, this is it." "Come on, Subaru." "You know what to do." "Let's go!" "Here we go!" "Dig, baby." "Dig." "Dig in." "Go, go, go." "Don't stop." "Don't stop." "TANNER:" "He's really going for it." "I don't think he's gonna make it." "Is he?" "(RUTLEDGE LAUGHING)" "ADAM:" "Oh, he's gonna make it!" "He's gonna make it!" "You sons of (BLEEP)." "TANNER:" "It looks a lot better." "ADAM:" "Now it does." "Yeah, I agree." "Did you see that?" "Yeah, we were standing right here." "Uh-huh." "I know what you're thinking." ""Wow!" "That was impressive!"" "And I agree!" "Nine seconds, by the way, is what it took, in case you were wondering." "Pretty slow." "You guys don't have a prayer." "It is so deep in there." "This thing just kept digging and clawing and digging and clawing, and then boom, I was out." "Who thinks Tanner should go next?" "Oh, I do." "ADAM: (ON WALKIE-TALKIE) Youready,Tanner?" "Yeah, remember you don't start that time till I hit the green flags." "I'm a count you down." "Three, two, one, go!" "I have a plan." "Why is he backing up?" "I'm gonna tighten the belts." "It's gonna get real here in a second." "Oh, big surprise, he's cheating." "(SIGHS)" "No cheating." "You're a race car driver." "(TANNER SCATTING)" "(SCATTING CONTINUES)" "(LAUGHING)" "TANNER:" "Oh, oh, oh!" "RUTLEDGE:" "Coming up, off-roadcomesa-knocking."

"He's still moving." "Go, go, go, go, go, go." "Yeah!" "(WHOOPING)" "Whoa." "Whoo-hoo!" "That's what I'm talking about." "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, here it comes." "Like it was built for mud bogging." "Best all-round weekend race car right here!" "Perfect!" "I mean, it's like..." "Look at that thing." "It's even a better color now." "To be honest, I didn't think you were gonna make it." "I thought you were gonna sink." "And I'm a little upset you didn't, but you made it." "You started in June, it's now August," "so it took you about a month." "What was the time?" "Forty one seconds, you still lost." "You know what?" "Now it's your chance to beat Tanner." "It's gonna feel good." "You won't beat me, but you'll get a chance to beat Tanner." "And you're gonna learn how to deal with disappointment." "ADAM:" "This is it." "The Bug was made for this." "I have ground clearance, I have good tires," "I have no power and no torque, and I'm in a 45-year-old car, but other than that, this is my event!" "As soon as the front tires make it into the mud, it's gonna yank the steering wheel out of his hands." "That's when it's gonna be Armageddon inside that little Bug." "Ass and elbows everywhere." "It's gonna be like he's swatting bees in there." "Let's do this!" "All right, let her rip." "ADAM:" "Here we go." "Hammer down." "Get in there, Bug." "Get some, baby." "That's it." "Yeah." "I can't see a thing!" "Keep digging." "Keep digging." "Don't stall." "Don't stall." "Stop the clock!" "RUTLEDGE:" "It shut off." "ADAM:" "It stalled, but I won." "RUTLEDGE:" "You're not through." "Finish line." "No, you have to get through." "No, finish line." "No, you have to get through." "Finish line." "TANNER:" "Technically, when he breaks the beam." "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, come on!" "I just washed this shirt." "Okay, since I don't have a horse in this race," "I will say he broke the beam on the finish." "Technically, that's a finish." "He's six seconds." "Six seconds." "That is a miracle." "Yeah." "What's next?" "I don't know, but I could probably use a push." "It's not in the bumper." "RUTLEDGE:" "I thought you said you need a push?" "ADAM:" "With Tanner's dirty littleMiataandmyBug tiedatoneapiece, weheaded toournextlocation." "Forthemostpart, ourcarswereholdingup." "ADAM:" "The mud bog, it won." "The idle's still a little touchy, so it does kind of stall now and again, but I'm very happy with it, so far." "Adam, the fact that your Bug looks more at home covered in mud than clean proves it's not a daily driver." "ADAM:" "How do you figure that?" "What if you live in a flooded area?" "Where are you gonna put the kids?" "Where are you gonna put groceries?" "How are you gonna do any of the things you need to do on a daily basis?" "I can fit a bag of groceries." "I can fit a child in the back." "They're small." "It's fine." "TANNER:" "The road got dustier, takingusto an off-road coursethatIknewwell ." "TheLakeElsinore MotorsportsPark." "HadI realized we'dendup here..." "ALL:" "Oh!" "TANNER:  ..." "I would have changedthesocksonmyMiata ." "That is sick!" "TANNER:" "That's gonna hurt." "That's suicide right there." "I raced here two weeks ago." "I had to launch out that thing at 70 miles an hour every lap." "RUTLEDGE:" "How'd you do?" "I rolled in the corner over there." "But still..." "(LAUGHING) Yes, you did." "I'm just saying, it's massive, massive jumps." "What are you worried about?" "You're driving that." "You're gonna wreck way before you hit that jump." "ADAM:" "All right, gentlemen, pay attention." ""Suspension is important in all types of racing," ""but none more so than off-road truck racing." ""To see which of your race cars can handle this type of race the best," ""you will compete door-to-door on the course behind you." ""First one across the finish line, wins."" "RUTLEDGE:" "That is awesome." "(LAUGHING)" "That is awesome." "All that suspension in that Miata is right between this vertebrae and that one." "Well, there's not a lot of suspension travel." "I guess 'cause you're short." "I've got one lap, all-wheel-drive, 227 horsepower and a helmet that's questionably fitting." "That is a recipe for success." "Adam's car is the best suited for this." "I just don't think he's got the power for it." "I'm kind of hoping that these guys start bumping each other, they both wreck each other, and I could cruise right past them." "I don't know if that's gonna happen, but I will be poised to strike." "You boys ready for this?" "Let's do it." "Oh, hell yes!" "In three, two, go!" "(ENGINE REVVING)" "Oh, come on, Tanner!" "Come on, I'm coming for you!" "TANNER:" "Already got Rutledge off the line." "I'm gonna slow down for this jump, though." "Ooh." "Oh, no!" "(BLEEP)" "I've left the ground." "Whoa!" "(LAUGHING)" "I feel like I'm losing suspension bits." "Oh, he is fast!" "He's rattling, but at least it's terribly unstable." "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, my God!" "Oh!" "Okay, Subaru, there you go." "There it is!" "Oh!" "Oh, now we got a race." "TANNER:" "No!" "Oh!" "This is a big one!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Whoa!" "ADAM:" "We were halfway home andI wastiredoffollowing inTanner'sdust." "Itwastimetomake amove." "TANNER:" "Oh, he's got so much better grip out of the corners." "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, he's cutting in front of me." "TANNER:" "Oh!" "(LAUGHING)" "ADAM: (GRUNTS) Bug's coming to get you." "(LAUGHING)" "TANNER:" "I can barely keep up with the all-wheel-drive." "Whoa, oh." "ADAM:" "Whoa. (LAUGHS)" "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, I feel my head on the roll cage." "Feel my head everywhere." "Whoa. (LAUGHS)" "RUTLEDGE:" "Tanner's got stuff falling off his car left and right." "Mia, don't flip, don't flip." "Whoa!" "I'm taking the highline." "RUTLEDGE:" "The finish line wasinsight." "TimetoshowthatwimpyMiata  who'sboss." "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh, here's my chance."

"It's coming down to the wire." "TANNER:" "No!" "RUTLEDGE:" "(LAUGHING) I got it!" "Damn it!" "They didn't wreck." "Tell me that I didn't just lose that." "RUTLEDGE:" "Down to the wire!" "You just left that inside line, man, you can't." "You know me." "I'll take that inside line all day!" "Stop!" "Now the accent comes out." "Station wagon." "You guys got beat" "by a station wagon." "With all-wheel-drive and tread." "My tread's gone from doing donuts." "ADAM:" "Mmm-hmm." "Proud moment for wagon owners everywhere." "Okay, let's give him his moment." "And we're done." "Yeah." "RUTLEDGE:" "Okay." "Let's go." "I can't wait to see what's next." "What can't this thing handle?" "RUTLEDGE:" "I'd finally proven myWRXwas aworthycompetitor."

"It had the right motor, good suspension, and it was fast." "Bolt in a roll cage and race it." "Pretty soon, Hertz caught on to it." "They just looked for the tear marks in the carpet to see who'd bolted in the cages." "RUTLEDGE:" "Look at these cars." "Are we killing these or what?" "ADAM:" "The Bug is still going, and not stalling quite as much." "I think the Miata is just coming into its own." "So far, each of these cars has won at the thing it's really best at." "I mean, the Miata on the road course, the Bug in the mud bog, and the WRX on the off-road course." "Makes you wonder what's next?"

"TANNER:" "What kind of racing are you gonna do up here?" "ADAM:" "I'm guessing downhill." "RUTLEDGE:" "Let's see what we're doing." ""Weekend racing comes in many different forms and not always with brakes and an engine." ""For your final challenge, you'll compete" ""in a soapbox derby-style race down the hill behind you."" "What?" "RUTLEDGE: "Last one to hit the brakes wins." ADAM:" "Okay." "Last one to hit the brakes wins," "so once you touch the brakes, you're out." "Correct." "This is a long hill." "Do you guys see how far down it goes?" "There are cliffs everywhere and hairpin turns." "ADAM:" "Playing chicken, fellas." "So, you're playing chicken with gravity." "Yeah." "Did you ever race a soapbox derby car?" "Hell yeah." "Third in the region." "Of course you were." "Yeah, Monterey County." "19... (MUTTERING) -(LAUGHING)" "We're about to have the biggest soapbox derby race of all time." "There's a lot of danger here." "We're gonna be carrying a lot of speed down this hill." "It's steep." "And on the sides, it's not forgiving." "It's not just gonna gently cushion you back to the center of the road, no." "These are giant slabs of marble." "I have good tires, so that's good." "Uh, the bad news is this thing will flip over if you sneeze hard." "So it's pretty much bad news, to be honest with you." "To make sure that we don't hit the brakes, the horn is now tied into the brakes, so if you hit the brakes, the horn goes off." "You notice the instructions never said anything about whoever crosses the line first." "That's just lame." "I mean, you gotta cross the line first to win soapbox derby." "I get it, last one to hit the brakes." "I'm not gonna hit the brakes and I'm gonna cross the line first, if I can." "TANNER:" "Gentlemen, you ready?" "Ready." "Hold on." "TANNER: (ON WALKIE-TALKIE) Keepherin neutral thewholetime." "On go, drop the handbrake." "You go it, Rut?" "Ready." "Okay, here we go." "In three, two, one, go!" "TANNER:" "Get even with Rutledge." "He's pulling ahead." "Adam's right there, too." "Okay, see, I expected this, 'cause I'm the lightest one here." "RUTLEDGE:" "Picking up a little momentum, and I have to keep my foot on the floor to keep it away from brake pedal." "Damn it!" "That Subaru is heavy." "RUTLEDGE:" "Oh." "Oh, now we're picking up a little speed." "A little, yup." "Hello!" "ADAM:" "Oh, great." "I didn't count on the dust." "Oh, man, this thing is all over the place." "It's 40 miles an hour already, and I can't see!" "RUTLEDGE:" "All right, big turn here." "I'll speed around the corner." "I'm gonna take the inside." "Thank, you guys!"

"(BLOWING AIR FORCEFULLY) -(HORN BLOWING)" "The donut at the end was a bad idea." "(HORNS HONKING)" "(COUGHING)" "Oh, sometimes victory tastes like Southern California desert dirt." "What was that, man?" "I had to hit the brakes 'cause I couldn't see anything." "As soon as the dust cleared from you two, there was a giant rock in my way." "This guy didn't use the brakes." "He just bounced right off of me, then I went off road." "Yeah, it was like a video game right there." "Did you see that?" "That was like pa-ching!" "Anyway, good game, guys." "Miata." "Best all-round weekend race car." "Ugh." "TANNER:" "So, who feels like a trip to Scotland?" "Oh, yeah, you're not invited." "Sorry, just the winner." "Oh, it's... (GRUNTS)" "It's chocking up the lungs." "The victory is deep." "RUTLEDGE:" "The victory?" "Yeah, you don't feel that, do you?" "TANNER:" "This is theScottishHighlands."

"It'swhathappens whenyoumixasupercar, arallycarand aBaja truck." "Theygivebirthtoa monster." "The Bowler gets its design cues from the Range Rover Sport and it shares its chassis, six-speed transmission and its supercharged V8, but the 550 horsepower on the Bowler goes a lot further, because it's lost a ton of weight." "Literally, 2,000 pounds." "That means it can go from zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds." "That's as quick as an Aston Martin DB9."

"I actually grew up in Scotland, and some of my first driving experiences were on roads here." "But I could never get out on the open, public road 'cause I was only 10 years old." "Oh, my God, they're awesome." "Well, it certainly is fast, I'll give it that." "I'm doing 115 miles an hour in the wet." "Doesn't seem safe." "Andatacool240grand , it'snotcheap." "Sothequestionis whoisthiscar for ?" "Is this gonna be your main family car?" "No, not if you wanna stay married." "Could it be a great fourth, fifth, sixth car if you are someone with those kinds of means?" "Absolutely." "Because in essence, it's a competition car." "Sure, it's good on road, but really it's made for one thing and that's going off-road." "So, we decided to race it against something," ""But therein lies the rub,"" "as Shakespeare used to say." "There's nothing out there that can do all the things this can do." "Well, nothing with four wheels, anyway." "Sowefoundsomethingontwo." "ThisisGrahamJarvis ona HusabergTE 300."

"We'll start here at this loch and we'll carry down the beach, find our way through some gravel trails, forest roads, eventually making our way to the top of that summit in the clouds where a cell phone tower awaits as our finish line."

"He's got good grip on the sand, but mine is better." "Got him." "Oh, no, I've got to go around the outside." "Oh!" "Hope I don't get water in the intake." "Oh, gosh, the windshield wipers aren't good." "Oh, he caught over!" "Okay, I'm off the beach, now." "Time to hit the forest." "Oh, no, there he is!" "He's so quick!" "Under the gravel we go." "Oh, he's fast on the dirt." "His power-to-weight ratio is nearly twice as much as mine." "Oh, we are flying." "Oh, my God." "We are jumping everywhere." "The road is so narrow." "He's gotta hold me up a little bit on the gravel." "I could go much faster through here." "WithtwotonsofBowler abouttotakehim out ," "Grahamdecided totakeashortcut." "There he goes!"

"Pavement, finally." "And there's the mountain." "This is it." "Ooh." "Narrow bridge." "Nobody coming." "Looking good." "All right." "Put hammer down, baby." "Whoo!"
