===Videos=Trivia==
* ''Fast Lane Stuff'' was rumored about a month before the official announcement, though the title and theme was only rumored a few days before the official announcement<ref>See [[The Sims game rumors/Archive#The Sims 3: Stuff Pack#2]]</ref>
[[Video:The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff - Behind the Scenes|thumb|300px|left]]
* The Norwegian title of this stuff pack, ''The Sims 3: Full Fart Stæsj'' (which translates to ''The Sims 3: Full Speed Stuff'') would go on to become a popular meme in the Sims community when people jokingly interpreted the word Fart as referring to flatulence instead of speed.

==Concern over sponsor ads==
* [http://www.thesims3.com/game/sp2 The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff on TheSims3.com]
Some Simmers expressed concern over the amount of sponsor ads which might be placed in this stuff pack, especially on the Racing theme jumpsuits and Formula 1 racers{{fact}}. The first screenshots released of the stuff pack and the recent [[The Sims 3/Patch 12#Official patch notes|change in the Sims 3 EULA]] seemed to coincide. SimGuruJenn posted a response on [[TheSims3.com]] forum:

|quote = y
|1 = Hello everyone!
 
There are a number of folks expressing concern about the new ‘sponsor-laden racing jumpsuits’ in ''The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff'' pack and I want to clear up any confusion about these clothing items. The sponsors displayed on the jumpsuits are fictitious companies and all the text is written in Simlish. Real ads will not appear on this clothing. The kids' uniforms even have a cute frog logo on them!
 
I’m really excited about the cars, clothing and other cool objects that are in this stuff pack and can’t wait until we can share more with you!
