In a thrilling Alaskan escapade, The Fast Lane Car crew, led by the intrepid videographer Cole, sets out on a daring mission to acquire a decade-old BMW i8. The enigmatic seller, Clyde, welcomes them, marking the beginning of an epic journey back to Colorado. Along the way, they encounter a series of challenges, from procuring gas and tools to grappling with the i8's unique features. This plug-in hybrid marvel boasts futuristic design and dual electric motors, yet its performance fails to live up to the lofty expectations set by its hefty price tag.

Navigating through road construction and wildlife hazards on the rugged Alaskan Highway, the team faces the stark reality of the i8's lack of a spare tire, a glaring oversight in the car's design. Delving into the i8's production history, sales figures, and its competitive stance against Porsche, the crew sheds light on the car's place in the automotive landscape. Amidst the breathtaking Alaskan scenery, they pause for a moment of reflection, savoring the raw beauty of the wilderness and the unbridled spirit of adventure it embodies.

Stopping for a well-deserved lunch break in Toad River, the team basks in the untamed allure of Alaska, a realm where nature reigns supreme and every mile brings forth a new thrill. Their profound love for the great outdoors and the uncharted territories of Alaska resonates through their journey, underscoring the essence of exploration and the unyielding call of the wild. Through challenges and triumphs, the Fast Lane Car crew embarks on a quest that transcends mere transportation, delving deep into the heart of automotive passion and the unquenchable thirst for adventure on the open road.
