a gleaming alloy LeCar shoots towards me two lanes wide

The story:

As my husband and I were driving down the street with Red Barchetta blaring, I'm sitting in the passenger seat singing along, proud that after 7 years of marriage I know the lyrics to one of his favorite songs. That lyric never did make sense to me, so I asked him about it. It's a good thing we were at a red light becuase when I told him that the only connection I could make was that LeCars are French, many Canadians are French speaking and that Rush hails from Canada... he about pissed his pants laughing at me.
