One of Fury Road's most fascinating pieces of world building is the fact that the War Boys appear to worship V8 engines - we even literally see a group of them praying in reverence at a gigantic altar made of steering wheels early in the film.
Pay close attention, however, and you might notice that the War Boys make a very distinct gesture of prayer at the altar, interlocking their fingers in a way that resembles the V8's eight-cylinder piston mechanism.
Miller's attention to detail is just on a whole other level here. Genius.
