(Fast Driving and Bad Brakes in this clip. Contains 3 static pedal views and 1 in-game view. Contains simulated pedal pumping in a video game. Run Time 19 minutes and 40 seconds.)
Story: This clip contains 3 runs up and down the mountain. The first is in olive Old Navy flip flops, the second is black leather ankle strap espadrille flats, and the third is in strappy stiletto pumps. I am driving the old station wagon taxi on the island and the first fare is always easier than the last. That's thanks to my brakes getting hotter and hotter each run. The first journey up the mountain is easy and on the way down the brakes are squealing something fierce but they do hold. So the brake pedal is almost in the floorboard, they still work. The next fare my brakes are still smoking and I slam the gas pedal in my espadrilles. The ride down the mountain this time is a little more sketchy. I am slamming my brake pedal to the floor and I am barely slowing down. It's almost like I'm trying to tame the car as we barrel down the mountain. The last fare of the day I have on my stilettos and on the way down the mountain I'm more cautious since I learned the last run too much speed means brakes don't work.

Story: I want to leave work for some retail therapy but first I have to start the old boat. I get in and turn the key only to have the expected happen. I keep at the ignition and start adding in some gas pedal pumping with my Havaianas flip flop. I crank the car for awhile until it starts up and I head towards downtown. I stall out on the off ramp and have to give the gas pedal some love again. After some more cranking I make my way into the mall parking lot.

Land Yacht Series: Quick Drive and Brake Failure with Bare Legs and Havaianas Slims (mp4 720p)

Story: I want to test the brakes on the old car since they have been getting more and more temperamental. I drive out of town and once I'm on a straight away I floor the gas pedal. When I go to use the brakes they go to the floorboard, so I pump the pedal to build up pressure. When I see ahead the hill crests, I floor the gas pedal then stomp the brakes. The first stomp the wheels lock and the second pump, straight to the floor. I made a small leak big and now am stomping the brakes panicked as I steer for the rest area to roll into.

Story: I take the old boat for a quick drive in Moab. Well, I want to, but old cars. So I work the gas pedal, careful not to flood it, as I turn the key. I start to worry as the car seems to have its mind set on not starting. I don't give up while cranking away and finally that beautiful V8 sound roars to life. I put the car in gear and head down the road only to get stuck in traffic. And of course, the darn car stalls out.

(Revving and Driving in this clip. Contains 2 static pedal views and 1 in-game view. Contains simulated pedal pumping in a video game. Run Time 17 minutes and 45 seconds.)
Story: One big clip for the Sunday Drive series. The clip starts off with me revving a Dodge Challenger barefoot, then onto a brief revving of a Ram pickup. Then I drive the Chevy Camaro through Honolulu barefoot working the clutch, gas, and brake. The next segment I throw on some Havaianas slim flip flops and drive an old Porsche that lacks power brakes as you can see me standing on the brake. The clip ends with a casual drive in the Cadillac Eldorado as I work the big pedals with my leather stiletto pumps.

Story: I take the junky Subaru Legacy for another race. The car still works, just has its quirks. The brakes won't start working unless the pedal is floored and the power or lack there of makes the car not exactly the best competitor.

Story: I'm back on the highway in Mexico, this time with a modern Cadillac. I rev the engine, floor the gas pedal, and slam the brakes like always in this series. The second of the three runs I did make a mistake braking too late as the car locked up and I crashed through the guardrail. Luckily this is a video game so I backed out and went for one last run.

Story: I overstayed my welcome at a friend's house while going cross country and now my dang van won't start. I do a good amount of cranking, even have the hood up hoping whatever is wrong will be obvious. Well, as luck has it, the engine starts up after some coaxing. I get back onto the open road and hope that all the mountains I drove through to get here didn't destroy my brakes. As I start going down another mountain road, I realized I had destroyed them. The pedal goes straight down and I'm along for the ride.

Story: Pretty much one of the most mindless fun clips to make, I'm back at the race track parking lot shredding tires and destroying motors. I'm wearing some cheap rubber Olive flip flops as I put the pedal to the metal in this clip. The pesky gas pedal gets jammed twice but only for a very short time luckily.

Story: I go to leave town and the dang car won't start again. It doesn't take much cranking/convincing to get running and I'm on my way home. This ride the brakes worked well, so pretty happy about that. But it's not all easy sailing as I cross the bridge, get cut off, and the engine sputters out on me. I put on my hazards and pull to the side of the road as I have to do more cranking than before to get the car started, again. It starts up and it's a nice easy drive back to the farmhouse.
