"Panama" is indeed awesome, but apparently Peter was awesome enough to pause the song on the "now" and harness that awesomeness to propel his car across the canyon.

When I was a teenager I was pretty reckless and I had this old 1990's Buick 4-door that I was messing with and sometimes I'd go race it in downtown St Louis and sometimes I won most times I lost but I'll never forget racing at 3 a.m. past Uncle Bill's with a bunch of my goth club friends and smoking a Dodge Challenger with my Buick to this song.

Look, smoking Dodge Challengers back in the day may have been basically harmless when done in moderation but today's Dodge Challengers are way more potent - they can get you hooked and mess you up really bad.

Family guy is like a 40 year old left handed pitcher. It may not have the mustard on its fastball like it used to, but it can still rear back and deliver a great one like this. Still good
Cars making a jump over cliffs never make sense to me in movies or shows. Like where's the ramp? How can you get air to clear the landing especially when the other side is at the same height level?
Easy……. You’ll always notice that the other side of any river, gorge, creek or canyon…..is always at a lower height…. And the height difference depends on speed, angle and the hypotenuse of the derivative and of course.,,… the depth of the driver side cup holder….
The animation is so good. The almost unnoticeable front end lift on the wagon when he hits the gas, so slight most people probably missed it. Driving over the leaves so they kick up which I bet is an homage to Keaton Batman when the Batmobile drives over the leaves at dusk and they fly up behind him (because that’s what I always think of) and the buttery smoothness of the scenery going by. So good.
@@western-m1a2 Yes, of course. Hence the joke "heavily modified." (The Volvo V70R which I mentioned was a sleeper wagon with, at that time in 2003, the most powerful engine ever produced by Volvo Cars.)

My first time hearing this song as a kid was playing Gran Turismo 3, it was one of my favorite songs in that game. Now every time I hear it I think of that amazing game.
“Suspect is head towards Unjumpable Canyon! It’s totally unjumpable!” That part sounded something out of an 80s Saturday Morning Children’s Cartoon, ngl..
