I rode in a friend’s Ferrari (1978 308) recently and while I love how it sounds… I often can not get enough of the turbocharged sound. So if you love the sound of turbochargers doing work here you go:

It may be an older video of ours, but I love it and cannot get enough.
Update: Apparently I decided to post this exactly two years after uploading it to YouTube. Odd.
Woops. Turns out there was some damage from the rallycross. No not on my WRX, Subarus are built for it, but on Mark’s Volvo. Turns out the rallycross ruined his shocks. His ride has become quite a bit rougher than he remembers. He couldn’t tell after the rallycross because he was used to being rattled all day so the smooth highway home felt just fine.
Either way, with any damage to a car (especially one as high mileage as Mark’s) there is a silver lining. Sure you may have to spend money, but it can also be a great excuse to do what you’ve wanted for a long time. In this case he gets to replace his suspension with something he’s been eyeing for a while.
So I’d just like to leave you with the thought that there sometimes are good things that come out of damaging your car (other than the “ive learned how/why it breaks”). Do you have any stories from similar situations?
Travis Pastrana’s car is supported by oh so many spares of almost everything on the car. Rarely would you get to see inside the support vehicles unless you were at a rally. I happened to stumble across a video of just that on YouTube. You may want to fast forward a bit past the intro.
Here is a link to the video for you RSS folks.
