The producers of CSI:Miami know how to make an unforgettable episode of car stunts gone wrong: use a shake your moneymaker song in the beginning and end the first chapter with a high-tension string decapitating a human head.

Synopsis from www.csifiles.com:
"When a man is decapitated while doing a daring stunt with his car, the team suspects that it was more than just an accident. During evidence collection, the CSIs enter the world of 'sideshows,' where kids gather in tricked-out cars, mostly stolen, performing dangerous stunts. However, when Horatio discovers that the victim's car's hydraulics where tampered with, he detects that the accident may be been staged as a diversion to a more serious, yet lucrative, crime."
Granted, I watched it on the eve of the physics paper. The episode DID mention the hydraulic system, though-the one that works based on Pascal's Principle, LOL.
I thought this episode was one of the best of this season, other than last week's. Last week's one was the crazy episode where Horatio had to act cool, drive what looked like a Hummer to the beach and walk away when it combusted, saying "Burn, baby burn,".
Talk about drama, haha. First and foremost, I am not a supportor of cars and drifting, but you know CSI:Miami-they make everything look cool.
However I find it adorable that Ryan Wolfe had to ask
"What's drifting?"
Oh yeah. Like a CSI doesn't know that. In Miami sumore, where all the cool edgy cases happen.
Well, the only drifting scenes were in the beginning. I thought they looked too high-class. There were lots of cam phones too.
I also noted that in this episode, Ryan toned down his fashion sense by wearing a normal sweater on the outside while Eric was wearing what looked like Ryan's clothes: the dress shirt and that expensive-looking dinner jacket. It was very obvious that they wore each other's clothes.
Luckily in this episode, Calleigh decided to ditch her bright-coloured clothes for more sensible, toned-down ones.
High Octane also used a lot of funny gangsta-rap songs. You know the song that goes They try to catch me dirty or something like that? It was also used in this episode. I was laughing my butt off when I heard it.
The decapitation was interesting. Apparently, the murderer used a handphone controlled device to activate the hydraulic system normally used to pimp or pump up a car.

The car was raised from 6 inches off the ground to 17 inches, a considerable amount. The height caused the victim to be in contact with a high tension cable with mentol bulbs on it from a fair. So how did the victim's head got out of the car, you asked?
Well, the victim was doing a stunt they call Jack-in-the-box. He sat on the sunroof of the car with his feet steering the wheels. Basically he was avoiding all the cables pretty well but the heightened height at the end disabled him to do so.
There was this character called Luke Baylor in this ep and he's very good looking. Apparently the actor was also in Material Girls, the movie with Hilary and Haylie Duff. Here's his page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1324844/ and this is how he looks like:
picture from imdb.com. looks a bit like michael buble.
Khadi told me there's a place in Section 14 selling religious paraphelia (however you call it lah) and I thought of: Buddha statues and incense sticks. LOL, then she told me that they sold Christian stuff 'cos the woman in a picture of the article was wearing a Psalm 23 t-shirt. Anyway, Khadi, if you're reading this, whatever it is that you and D wanted to buy for me I say go ahead and buy it but personally I prefer a bible. But hey, it's the thought that counts, right? Ahahaha.
Happy birthday Janielle!
