* {{We Hardly Knew Ye}}: Many of the racers, both named and unnamed are killed off quickly and unceremoniously.

* FauxSymbolism: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. In episode 9, Arthur's vision quest leads him to a LastSupperSteal involving him, Grace and numerous other blood drivers. He questions what it is supposed to mean, but Vision!Aki [[MSTMantra tells him not to worry about it]].

Along with his partner Christopher, Arthur stumbles onto a hedonistic party of madness, run by the diabolical Julian Slink. He's putting on a race, the titular Blood Drive. A cross country slaughter-fest of blood, babes and debauchery. And Arthur finds himself shanghaied into participating, as does his partner, the mysterious Grace D'Argento (Creator/Christina Ochoa), who has her own reasons for racing.

* ViewersAreMorons: The opening of the first episode has the creator say that due to bad reactions from test audiences, the network thinks that the audience is too stupid to understand the show without an opening explanation of the narrative.
