Final Destination like script, guy dodges death while driving, death gets him anyway.

93 Mitsubishi Mirage 2 door, light body, peppy little engine, can't really point out why, but it was fun to drive.

Great pictures! That pedal car! I had one of those, and rocked it all over Szeged, unfortunately mine was in "liba fos" green.
Seems legit.
If you don't get the why, google truck trials.
