Green Day - iViva La Gloria!

   The light of the setting sun glimmered like fire in Richard's eyes, turned his windswept hair to gold. He was smiling as only a man with nothing left to loose could smile, knowing that the pursuers would never be able to catch up. Ahead, the road ended in a sheer drop, all jagged rocks and roaring sea below. Richard turned to his passenger, confident smile still in place, a hint of something greater than the both of them in his eyes.
   "We made it", he said. They held hands as the car roared into the void.

Neverhood OST - The Weasel Chase

   It was possibly the most stupid fun they'd ever had on the track. Three miniature motorbikes, barely big enough to carry Hammond, let alone May and Clarkson, and a whole range of idiotic challenges – such as jumping over an inflatable pool containing a rubber shark. Afterwards they were all wet, bruised, and dirty beyond belief, but none of them could stop grinning. Especially not James, who'd somehow won the whole thing.

The Offspring - Defy You

   He fought. Fought the pain, fought the darkness that threatened to take over. He'd been hurt before, worse than this, and it hadn't broken him. He wasn't going to break now. "Accident prone", he'd been called. Maybe he was, he didn't care. He would come back, no matter how badly injured he got. He would come back. He owed them all that.

Blaqk Audio - Black Electric

   The Koenigsegg Quant was… a masterpiece. A true supercar, fast beyond belief, taking corners like a serpent, and completely electric. Solar powered, even. It shouldn't be possible for an electric car to be this good, but Jeremy had to admit he'd been wrong to doubt it.
   "I'm not going green though", he said. "This car isn't going to save the world, but it might just preserve the joy of driving a really fast car for the future generations."

Enya - Anywhere Is

   James stood on the back porch of the hotel, overlooking the moonlit sea. A gentle breeze played with his hair, and he smiled to himself. It had been a long, exhausting day, and the coming days weren't going to be any better, but right here, right now, he didn't care. Soft laughter reached his ears, and he turned to look back into the room, where Jeremy was telling Richard about something that had happened during the day. Those two… He'd long ago stopped trying to define exactly what they meant to him. The right words simply didn't exist.
