* KillTheCutie: A re-creation of an iconic scene from the original ''Vacation'' film. In the original, a beautiful, mysterious blonde babe (Christine Brinkley) driving a [[CoolCar red Ferrari]] catches Clark's eye on the road. this, Rusty is tempted as an attractive woman (Hannah Davis) drives by in a red Ferrari and waves seductively. Unlike the original, where Brinkley's character meets up later with the Griswolds at a roadside hotel and goes skinny-dipping, this one doesn't end so well (she gets plowed head on by a semi-truck in the opposite lane).
