This one's in TRS pending a rename, but I think it could use an image to help it along. I suggest using this scene from 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Bump. Seriously? Almost a week and not a single reply?

Maybe you'll get a reply if you suggest an image and not a YouTube video. I for one thing can't figure out what the suggestion is.

Hmm... I could have sworn I mentioned where in the video I was referring to.

Testing caption with image size at 350!

It kind of works.

Honestly, I tend to skip suggestions in videos unless I'm bored, or I'm particularly interested in the thread/page. It's usually better to just throw up some sort of screenshot instead. It doesn't have to be a final version, but something that actually shows what you mean, without having to guess moment in a video. Even if there's a time stamp it can be hard. Not to mention, some things look great in a video, but don't work at all on a page.

[up][up] I'm not convinced. It's not super clear that he's driving. (I know he is, but not from the image.) The car could be pulled off or he could be starting the car.

It's alright, but just alright.

I brightened that image a little and also motion blurred the background a bit, hopefully that (especially the stationary house) makes it look less like he might be parked. There are better frames in the video, but...

I am not sure I like this image. It's not an example. In context, he's intentionally not looking at the road.

Doesn't that just mean it's invoked?

No, Invoked Trope is when a character intentionally sets up a trope. The driver there is being dangerous and showing off for the girl, it is not a reference by the writer to Hollywood Driving.
