Itās the sedan just within sight that seems to be mimicking your speed and movements as you walk down the dark deserted street late at night.

Ā
Itās the sanctuary you race toward when youāre being chased, only to explode when you turn the key.
Ā
Itās the one that skids off the icy mountain overpass and plunges into the cavernous grotto.
Ā
Itās where Clemenza garrotes Carlo just as heās about to be driven to the airport.
Ā
Itās The Black Car Business.
