A playful modern twist on the ancient fable of the tortoise and the hare. Two cars sit side by side in the same garage. One is fast, shiny, and ready to go; the other is a comfortable old jalopy, a little worse for wear but as reliable as can be. On a magic, moonlit night, the doors of their garage swing open and they head out for a spin, each determined to prove that they are the "best car on the road." Over hill and dale and roundabout they go, encountering–and narrowly missing–trains, trucks, wildlife, and even, in the form of a police officer on a motorcycle, the long arm of the law. Before the two cars' nocturnal caper is over, each will have discovered that being "best" is not so simple as you might suppose.
