I can't understand a word, but, there is a race, between 6 fantastical vehicles, driven by a variety of people, robots, and anamorphic creatures, including kitten girls in a vehicle that transforms into a jaguar robot - across 5 environments (skip the first 4 minutes)
for some stupid reason, they overlooked that kitten girls would not have both human and cat ears
I was not kidding that every scene starts with ankles
Bryndi in Idaho, autobody college student had an 80 Firebird, that the previous owner wanted back, BAD... his grandma had bought it new, and after he sold it and lost track of it, he wanted it back real bad, right at the same time, she fell in love with this 70 Firebird, and traded up, and is building it for autocross
the tire she sits on was originally on the car when she got it, and she's hauled that old wheel around for many years, to use it as a chair. I like that. The car's last owner died at 91, and there is NO info on him or the car (last registered in 1981) previous to when she bought it, but when getting the title figured out, she found out that a bank had a lien on it, and THEY could find no record of that. Typical paperwork nonsense where they didn't correct the records
The 57 Kenworth is her TOW RIG... don't you LOVE that!!!?
So, she does body work for a living, listens to 80s rock in the shop, races a Camaro in autocross, and is a trucker... and she once waved at a 68 Camaro, and 3 years later, that guy finally proposed to her. Smart guy.
you will probably get a kick out of her other videos, https://www.youtube.com/@Firebird_Bryndi about her Kenworth and 72 F100

The Count De Smet De Nayer bridge in Ostend, built between 1903 and 1905 named after the Belgian Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Public Works, famously known among locals by its crude yet historical nickname: "Tettenbrug" (Titty Bridge).
When the bridge was officially opened in 1905, its stone pylons were decorated with striking bronze sculptures and bas-reliefs of half-naked women with exposed breasts representing maritime themes and angels
during World War I, occupying German forces stripped the bridge of its valuable bronze decorations. The statues were loaded onto trains and melted down in German smelting ovens to manufacture ammunition and extract copper
The city of Ostend bought original terracotta maquettes and designs of the missing bas-reliefs for €3,000. Backed by local government support, these designs are being used as a blueprint to create and restore the replica sculptures, finally returning the iconic "Tettenbrug" to its original Belle Époque grandeur
erected over the Afleidingsvaart (now filled in), the Oostende-Brugge railway, and the Oostende-Brugge canal, each bridge section symbolically refers to the transport system it spans: symbols of the sea and shipping adorn the bridges built over a water connection; the bridge section over the railway displays a bas-relief sculpture of a steam locomotive.
the 1959/1961 Devin C with a supercharged Corvair engine was fielded by Andy Granatelli in the 1961 Grand Prix at Riverside
The factory-built Devin C built by Bill Devin and his team in 1959. The cars developed by Devin deserve to be more famous than they are, in period they won 32 SCCA races, the 1956 SCCA H Modified National Championship, and they were six-time Pikes Peak Unlimited Class winners.
The car was tested for the October 1961 issue of Sports Car Graphic magazine before being borrowed by Andy and Vince Granatelli for high-speed supercharger testing at the Bonneville Salt Flats, which was detailed in the January 1962 issue of SCG. The Granatellis also ran the supercharged car at various drag strips, scaring away the competition with a sports-car record 12.44-second quarter-mile run at 109.75 mph.
A few weeks later, with the supercharger removed, the Devin C was entered by its first owner (the well-known dealer Hollywood Sports Cars) at the LA Times-Mirror Grand Prix at Riverside in October 1961.
Dealership employee Pete Woods battled hall-of-fame racing giants like Stirling Moss, Jim Hall, Dan Gurney, Roger Penske, Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, Ken Miles, Walt Hansgen, George Follmer, and Augie Pabst during a 10-lap introductory qualifying race, before a seized engine prevented the car from running the main event.
