Traveling to Italy

Covet Show episode 10 part 1 «Traveling to Italy» began production on November 1, 2020, and was released on March 13, 2021. Episode 10 is by far the biggest episode of Covet Show, consisting of a one-hour first part and a half-hour second part. During creation, BeamNG Boy was inspired by Italian culture, music, both old and new, and mafias.
== Plot ==
The episode starts with Covet writing a script for his video titled «Covet Show creation history». He complains that he thought he’d write this text very fast, but got tired after 5 milliseconds, thinking about how office workers work in such conditions. Pigeon then scares Covet, but his intentions were to get Covet to talk to Miramar.
Miramar offers Covet an opportunity to go to another country and asks what his favorite car is. He responds that it’s the Autobello Piccolina, and the Piccolina is made in Italy, so Miramar offers Covet the opportunity to go to Italy. ElectroPetya the grey electric Cherrier Tograc soon arrives and Covet hopes that he won’t force him to drink strong diesel like it once happened with a bus for 9 times. That time, they both got drunk on strong diesel and flew off a bridge into water while yelling «SAILOR MOON, WE’RE COMING TO YOU!». 
Covet then gets into ElectroPetya’s trailer, although he first gets stuck with his bottom. Miramar wishes him to come back alive and get lots of adventures, while Pigeon tells him to buy different things to stick them on the fridge that they don’t have. ElectroPetya and Covet depart, and Covet doesn’t understand why he rides so quietly, to which ElectroPetya responds that he’s electric.
On his way to Italy, Covet crosses an orange Lada Niva and vomits. The orange Lada Niva, later revealed as Comrade Nivasky in episode 10 part 2, follows Covet on ElectroPetya’s way to the port and makes sure it’s «him». Nivasky then reports to his boss that he found the target. In their conversation, it’s also revealed that EVs love traveling to Italy from the port since they don’t hydrolock. The boss then orders his 2 Hirochi Sunbursts to go to the downtown and tells them not to forget they must be like Italians and not Russians. Meanwhile ElectroPetya jumps into the Italian water and drives on the bottom of the sea to Italy, later dropping Covet there and going back to Russia via water.
It later turns out Covet took a Nokia 3310 that has no GPS, so Covet decides to drive without the GPS. He speeds through Italian highways and streets and notices a beautiful castle on a mountain, deciding to go there sometime soon. Covet also admires Italian cars, but suddenly, he crosses the 2 black Sunbursts from the mafia whose leader is Nivasky’s boss and the two soon follow Covet. The two soon revealed that Covet has no license plates, no badges, fuel injection instead of carburation, wrongly tuned suspension and unusual tires.
Covet suspects someone talking in Russian, and the two Sunbursts begin talking in Italian. Covet remembers that he drank oil in a blue can labeled «Pepsi», from which he goes crazy. As the black Sunbursts follow him, they still talk in Russian about Sailor Moon powers and bumpy roads. Covet realizes they’ve been following him, a chase ensues and one of the two Sunbursts crashes, while the other lures Covet into a trap, though Covet escaped it in three ways: 
#He just turns to a road where there was no Sunbursts blocking it.
#A winged cap from Super Mario 64 falls on him, after which he flies over the black Sunburst.
#He jumps over one of the Sunbursts.
The chase continues and one of the Sunbursts that kept chasing Covet spins out and stalls on the highway. A police Civetta Bolide soon notices the two Sunbursts speeding and chases after them. As Covet hams his throttle more and more, he gets away from the two black Sunbursts, but not for long. Covet then turns left at high speed and the two black Sunbursts don’t notice. The police Bolide arrests the black Sunbursts for speeding and Covet continues his way to the castle.
On his way to the castle, Covet encounters a white Gavril H-Series who asks him for help: he wasted all his fuel and has no spare fuel, so he asks Covet to tow him up the mountain. Covet has no towing rope, but then finds a chain that he attaches to the truck’s front and his back. Covet encourages himself that he ate Rastishka (Danonino for most other countries) that gives him strength, but after several attempts, Covet ends up ripping out the truck’s bumper and burning his clutch, becoming «Thomas the Tank Engine».
Covet wonders why Danonino didn’t help him and calls BX for help to send a tow truck to Italy. He then wonders how BX knew where he is, to which BX answers that when he rebuilt Covet for army, he put a chip on him that tracks his location, thus also the reason Covet gets struck by electricity every time he starts his engine. The tow truck arrives and the three drive off to the nearest fuel station.
On their way to the fuel station, Covet and the tow truck encounter red rocks on their way. Covet attempts to use the Moon Prism Power from Sailor Moon to clear the rocks on the road, but then says that he mixed up the powers and then uses the Pepsi Power. After using the Pepsi power, he drives back and forth to clear up the rocks, and after they are all cleared up, Covet and the tow truck continue their way to the fuel station. In the night, Covet discovers a Pessima driving dangerously and crashing into a blue Hirochi SBR4, then falling off the road and exploding. The SBR4 doesn’t answer to Covet asking it if it's okay, so it is possible that it either died or lost consciousness.
Covet later discovers a fuel station, where the tow truck drops off the H-Series for him to fill himself up with 95 octane gas. The H-Series thanks Covet, to which he says he’s a superhero who loves saving everyone and watching Sailor Moon. The truck then thinks about finding the road to the castle, to which Covet discovers he doesn’t know the road to it, so he calls his brothers from the Moon to help him. The brothers send him a note that they don’t know where the castle is either. Driving off to the castle in hopes of finding it anyways, Covet breaks his bumper and spends several hours in the repair shop near the fuel station, which turned out expensive for him for an unknown reason, only to discover that the truck is sleeping. Covet tries to wake him up several ways, including:
#Just calling him
#Revving his engine loudly
#Police sirens and horns
#Calling Pigeon and Miramar to sing «Can You Feel the Sunshine» from Sonic R
#Calling several Pessimas to sing «Honda Accord – the Japanese President’s Theme» by Emerald Weapon
#Crashing into him and yelling that the world will explode
#Asking Stickrio to simulate a death
Only the 7th attempt works, but then the truck remembers Stickrio isn’t real, and then Covet wonders what that was, theorizing that he probably wasn’t a ghost, but probably emerged from the monitor like it once happened with Super Mario Ultra 64, but then the truck makes him snap out of it and both drive to the castle mountain to Miramar’s story on Covet FM about how the Autobello Piccolina appeared and how Italians poured water on the roads.
On the radio tower mountain, Covet realizes that they needed to go to the castle mountain, and that they took the wrong turn, so Covet and the truck hit the road again to «Resist» by DJ Mubarek. Suddenly, Covet hears a ETK K-Series run away from the police and sounds of crashes and explosions. Covet recognizes his engine sound, the truck tells that it was a black and red car with a huge spoiler and Covet rushes towards the place where the explosion was down the mountains.
Covet asks a yellow van what happened here and the yellow van responds that it was a black car that fell on explosive barrels. Suddenly, more explosive barrels blow up and Covet rushes away in time. Covet recognizes the black ETK as his friend Jestar and realizes he’s dead, wishing him to rest in peace. Covet then encounters a bunch of cars remembering ones who died in disasters, including the one where Jestar died. After Covet tells them the story of Jestar, the black Burnside wishes him to meet Jestar someday again and Covet continues his way to the castle.
As Covet and the truck continue driving to the castle mountain, the road to it turns out to be blocked by a black Ibishu Pigeon. The black Pigeon was only blocking the road for Covet whom he called a moron. Covet responded that he’s not moronic as him and that’s a fact. The Pigeon responds that as a fact it’s stupid, just like Covet’s motherland. Covet gets mad and tells that it is also a fact that there’s a lot of smart cars in Japan unlike in «that India of his, where there’s only Internet scammers», and in fact, he is one of those scammers. The black Pigeon lets the white truck go and after that he has two questions in one: whether he knows about the black car mafia and whether he noticed if he’s also black. Covet responds to both questions positively and then realizes that the black Pigeon is also part of that mafia.
A chase ensues after Covet teases the black Pigeon to catch him if he can. Eventually the black Pigeon’s brakes break and after Covet drives on a road without guardrails, the black Pigeon’s steering fails and he falls down the mountain. Covet got lucky, but not for long, as he hits a rock and falls down the mountain too.
At the end, Covet and Pigeon discuss the possibility of the second part of episode 10.
== Trivia ==
*Among other files on Covet’s desktop, there is one named «Miramar Show», which implied that Miramar would probably have his own spin-off but this idea got scrapped, if this ever was an idea. Other ones include «Water liters in episode 8», though in episode 8, almost no water can be seen, «Gift for Pigeon», which might be a reference to the Pigeon’s Time one-episode spin-off about Pigeon, «Recruitment office», a reference to episode 9, «Homework» and «Learning in ZOOM», which implies that Covet does go to a university.
*This episode alone has several Sailor Moon references in it. The Sailor Moon running gag began in the now private BeamNG Boy’s video about the Russian Ibishu Covet commercial and now can be seen in several Stupid Covet episodes and BeamNG Boy’s meme titled «Covet has a GF».
*Covet, Nivasky and his boss all use Nokia 3310’s in 2021.
*This episode is the second after episode 3 and last to feature the «My vase!» gag. It is also the only episode where this gag is repeated twice.
*In the scene at the fuel station, Covet calls his brothers from the Moon for help. This might be a reference to episode 7 where Covet went to the Moon, though in that episode, Lunar cars didn’t look anything like Terrestrial cars, or another nod to Sailor Moon, since Covet used Sailor Moon’s powers, and Sailor Moon was the Moon’s princess in her previous incarnation.
*In that same scene, Covet references Gagarin’s phrase «Let’s go!» on the day he became the first man (or car in case of the Covet Show universe) in space on April 12, 1961.
*In the scene after Covet thinks about how Stickrio appeared, he says that everything is cheeki breeki with him. This might be a reference to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series where the Bandits say «A nu, cheeki breeki i v damki!».
*DJ Mubarek’s «Resist» is the song that plays in BeamNG Boy’s «Car dance» meme with an Ibishu Covet that looks similar to the Covet Show’s MC.
*The word «kuzov», depending on context, means either «back» or «body» in Russian-language car terminology. The subtitles mistranslated this word as «back», while a more accurate translation would be «body» in the context of the phrase «I first imagined him in the body of a Toyota Prius».
*It is unknown whether the black Pigeon really comes from India or not, since Ibishu, the company that made the Pigeon, is Japanese, India is also a country driving on the left like Japan, and an Indian car in Russia is way less common to see than, for example, a Japanese car.
*At least two Ibishu Pigeons were called morons throughout the Covet Show: the black mafia Pigeon and Pigeon the Covet’s brother, though in episode 10 part 2, it was explained Pigeon was a three-wheeled idiot. This raises the question whether the retarded three-wheeler joke is also a running gag.
