I bet even the rats would be smart enough to make sure their exhaust sound videos are more than just cold start free revving.

I hope they don't teach them to ride Harleys, we won't hear the end of it.

I love how they don't take the direct route to where they want to go, they drive all over the place

Whats even better is that apparently when the rats get in the cars the first thing they have been doing is revving.
