An album of car songs re-recorded to promote UNION 76 gasoline and NASCAR car racing by the current Beach Boys touring band (though at that time both Carl and Al were still in the band), and sold for a short time in participating petrol stations in America, this album is primarily of interest as a representation of what the current band sounds like, (surprisingly close to the originals, though the harmonies are a little thin) and also for their cover of Little GTO by the Regents, found nowhere else.
