    WRC is truly incredible.

    Granted, the machines are half-to-3/4-million dollar cars, but still, the doors open/close many have power windows, the indicators work, etcetera.

    A car you could truly drive, daily, on the street, if you were hard-core enough.

    I'd like to give it a shot. I can see stoplight drags in the rain being a thrill, right at the rev-limit as the light is changing.

    @so I goes to the local bar, y'know, people: You can get a brand new Rally Spec'ed Citroen C4 or Ford Focus for about €120.000, they're not as insane as WRC spec cars but still wildly fun, dangerous, and perfectly road legal.

    God Damn it, you guys keep showing all this cool race footage you are going to make me want to build a Rally Car and head to the North Woods.

    Not that that is a bad thing, mind you.

    /LSPR is three weeks away, anyone going?

    Anyone remember Paul Verhoeven's film "The Fourth Man"...? Christine's fourth husband gets impaled through the eye upon protruding rebar from a truck he rear-ends while riding as a passenger. Way too similar to what these rally drivers narrowly avoided...

    I had a boyfriend who had a steel stake come loose from a flatbed in front of him on the freeway (he was a passenger in his boss' car). The stake cartwheeled a few times, then skewered through the windshield and into the seat cushion right in front of his groin. He figures he barely missed castration or worse...

    The driver's name is not Rajd Elmot, nor is his navigator named. Osuch Szczepanski.


    Rajd means rally race in Poland. So the race is called Rajd Elmot.


    Osuch is the last name of one guy, presumably the driver, and Szczepanski is the last name of the other guy. Presumably the navigator.


    There is a whole lot of Polaks swearing after the accident. Talk about a close call...
