Have you ever watched a vehicular video on, say, Youtube...

...or other online video site and a song comes on and you suddenly think ‘That song fits the personality of that vehicle so well?’

I just had one of those moments....I’m rewatching !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! s build videos on his !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and the song that plays for the first 1:43 of this video fits the Ape perfectly in my head. :)

Not necessarily the lyrics, but the style and how upbeat and cheery the actual music is! Fits the sortof playful, cheery nature of the Ape perfectly to me! The song is ‘Last To Know’ by Pastis, apparently.

(Youtube caption auto-translate will be needed if you watch any of his stuff as it’s in German! He and his gf are building a tiny house out of a 18 wheeler/HGV/Artic trailer, and he has a VW ‘vanlyfe’ style T4 camper...pretty cool channel as he has some cool build videos on various things and he’s pretty skilled!)

Anybody else ever have that music thing happen to them? :)

There was a video on the front page years ago (8 ? The aventador had just come out. A  long time ago) where it was a bunch dudes in japan running down a drag strip in the mountains. The aventador, a hyabusa, porsche with some of the most amazing wheels I've ever seen, all to a Calvin Harris song that just worked for some reason.

Damn, that sucks! Maybe I’ll see if I can dig it up elsewhere!
