The Awakening

like the Grinch, when his heart grew two sizes;

        the Scarecrow, when he got a brain;

        and Scrooge, when he finally understood the meaning of Christmas;

Captain Vogler started proclaiming sensible things:

"How about this tactic - reliability. It's not as exciting or fun as having gobs of power, but it will get us more laps."

"I surrender attempts for insane horsepower increases."

More Themes

How's about a Dr. Seuss theme, with big rounded wheel flares. Red Fish and Blue Fish on the roof. Brian dressed as Cat in the Hat, Kevin and Eric dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2. Maybe Chris could get us technical advise from his Universal buddies, or let us borrow props?

Burberry theme. Plaid car, buy a set of knock-off burberry luggage to strap in the trunk. Jared and Kevin wear Burberry plaid sunglasses and carry plaid purses.

Make car resemble Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot 1672 steam car. Possibly get extra credit points for recreating Cugnot's first ever automobile accident where the vehicle goes out of control and crashes through a brick wall.
