Plot
Leonard shows off his new red car to his girlfriend when his obnoxious cousin Todd comes by and shows off his new black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck to them. Unlike Leonard, Todd did not have to work to get his ride considering his nature as a spoiled brat; his parents gave him what he wanted. He encourages Leonard to check out his truck, much to his dismay, as the obnoxious cousin shows the features he had in his truck; 22-inch chrome rims, automatic running boards, LED running lights, DVD player, an amazing speaker system, and a real 8-ball on his gear shift. He then gets out of the truck, pulls Leonard's girlfriend to his side to touch the white things mounted on its doors and feel how comfortable they are, and afterwards, he decides to show off his favorite feature on the truck: a remote starter. Leonard and his girlfriend still have no idea what to say as the start button is pressed, only for the truck to suddenly lurch forward and run over Todd, crushing his head and pulverizing his brain tissue, much to the horror of Leonard and his girlfriend.
Turns out, although the manufacturer advised against the remote start function, Todd went for it anyway and while showing off all the accessories on his truck, especially the 8-ball on his gear shift, Todd accidentally switched the truck into gear and when he started up the truck, it lurched forward, popped out of gear, knocked him on the ground and then crushed his skull with the tires.
