With the social media hashtag #drivetastefully, Petrolicious has always been an ambassador for gentlemanly conduct when it comes to classic car culture. But this week's video features a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, a sweaty, V8, American muscle car.

Beef and beer come to mind at the mention of this car, but Petrolicious shows it in a new light. Low light. I mean every one of their video's is filmed during the hallowed "Golden Hour" which is supposed to give the "best light," giving cars an almost dreamlike look. But has it worked for the Trans Am, which has a reputation involving illegal booze runs? Let's find out.
