May be a repost, may not. Still worth watching.

I was waiting for something related to Back to the Future at the end. I went on the Universal back lot tour some years back when I was in LA, so the whole time I was saying, "Wait for it, wait for it..."

But he just got out of the car a block away from the courthouse... and then the Bollywood dancers came out and I was WTF?

Cool video sans the over-hyped beginning and end.

Another sweet video, over the top, but very cool.

Makes me want to buy a Fiesta every time I see his videos.

Makes me wonder why he doesn't do his videos with a cool car for instance...... a Yaris!

Because an FWD car wouldn't be as fun, and an AWD Yaris is practically unheard of in this country

I think he's probably happy with his sponsorship deal. I was just saying it's a shame someone hasn't done videos like that with a Yaris.
