Part 5/8:
When the Lexus finally arrived, Tom Cruise was already pacing nervously. As the car rolled in, Tom sprinted toward the driver, ready to jump in and take the wheel. The comedian watched, worried that Tom’s enthusiasm might jeopardize the deal. Yet, Tom, known for his energetic and sometimes impulsive antics, was simply eager to get behind the wheel.
Once seated, Tom took the car for a wild, adrenaline-fueled ride through residential streets at 90 mph. His stunt driving was both exhilarating and terrifying—not only for him but also for the driver, who was in the back seat holding on for dear life. The dealership GM, meanwhile, was scolding Tom for arriving late and traffic, but this was all part of the Hollywood narrative.
