Embarking on a daring 3500-mile odyssey in a BMW i8, The Fast Lane Car team faces the rugged Alaskan Highway with its dihedral doors and a bad back, courtesy of the car's low ground clearance and unsuitable tires. Despite the challenges posed by the road's gravel patches and potholes, they push on, encountering sparse wildlife like a lone rabbit and a coyote along the way. The team's anticipation for more thrilling sightings grows as they continue their journey through the scenic landscapes.
As they reach Teslin Lake, the team's luck turns as they spot bears and appreciate the well-maintained stretches of the highway, albeit with some struggles at the gas pumps. Moving on to Watson Lake's famous Sign Post Forest, they immerse themselves in the quirky tradition of adding their mark to the collection of signs from around the world. Another bear sighting adds to the excitement, with the team reveling in the unique experiences the Alaskan Highway has to offer.
Despite criticisms of the BMW i8's suitability for the rough terrain, the team finds joy in navigating the picturesque roads of British Columbia, with Cole as their trusty companion. The breathtaking vistas and encounters with wildlife, including bears and buffalo, add to the thrill of the journey. As they press on towards Dawson Creek, the team reflects on the unique appeal of the i8 and the unforgettable memories created during their epic road trip through the untamed beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.
