There was a "traffic safety" poster contest held for high school students, and our teacher decided to squeeze it in between regular assignments.  I had two ideas and couldn't settle on either, so I made two posters instead of one.  Originally, this was supposed to feature a racer dude surrounded by trophies and hot babes (hey, it's not sexist if it's terminology!) with the caption of him saying, "How did I become a legend?  Careful driving was a start."  But then the teacher suggested the caption you see above, and plus I realized that I can't draw any babes at all, much less hot ones... so I made the car the main focus.
