In animator Svilen Dimitrov’s short film, we start out at the end of a man’s life, but we are transported through the events that led up to his demise, as his day plays out in reverse order. We wish we could play it backwards now.

Look around from the roof of a Nissan GT-R as it races around the Le Mans track, first on its own then against a GT-R Nismo in this 360º video. You can watch it on Chrome, but it’s way more fun on the official YouTube (iOS/Android) app.

Jay Leno’s Garage checks out a souped up 1941 Willys Coupe. In-N-Out President and drag racer Lynsi Snyder inherited the car from her father. She’s done a 9-second quarter mile in the hot rod, thanks to its 1000hp Chevy big block engine.

(PG-13 Language) The Stunt Lads is a hilarious virtual reality show set in Grand Theft Auto V. It’s about three poor stuntmen risking their lives so they can become famous and risk their lives some more. First episode here. Theme song here.
