These days, the whole thing would be done with CGI and shakycam footage of dirt bikes and street racers set to Xtreme Sport Music.
Thank you, 1950s!

I'll never be a good mechanic but damn is it interesting. That would have taken me 100 lifetimes to devise.

"Generations ago, my family invented the differential gear. I guess I've always had some pretty big shoes to fill. But to be honest, I've never been half the engineer old Rudy Ackermann was. Then it hit me: I would add another gear.
They all told me I was crazy, that there were already enough gears, that it was an affront to God and nature. I wouldn't have it; I was tired of living in the shadow of a corpse. The "Improved Differential" hit the market May 15th 2039.
On May 15th, 2039, 5 billion people died.
Everyone I ever loved, everyone I ever hated. They're all gone now. It's just me and my gears. These fucking gears. Their single eyes both accusing and mocking me, never blinking, never sleeping. But I will be their master some day. A gear got us into this, and a gear will get us out."

Today we learned why you don't put a fucking drive shaft through the middle of the car: Because it would make it awkward to carry luggage.
