Rhys Millen walks us through the updated Hyundai-powered RMR PM580

2011 RMR Hyundai PM580

The RMR PM580 looks like a Le Mans Prototype car, sounds like a jet fighter that's been possessed by a demon and will run from 20-130 miles per hour in six seconds. Even sitting on jack stands, with its front and rear covers off, the PM580 looks intimidating. Walking up to the car as it rests in the shade of an outstretched RV awning, we're hit with a sense of awe and wonder. Could this be the first car to make the Pikes Peak run in less than ten minutes?

According to its driver Rhys Millen, "If the weather cooperates, I guarantee we will break the record."

A bold statement, but after getting a look at the car and chatting with Rhys, we're inclined to agree. Keep reading to find out why.

Evil hay bales reach out and flip Subaru in front of cameraman

Subaru WRX flips on track


Subaru WRX flips on track – Click above to watch the video after the break

Our brothers from the Great White North happened across a video featuring a few extremely evil hay bales. How evil? Really evil. Like so evil that you would say it was E-VEEL, like they are the FRU-ETS of the DEV-EEL.

So evil, in fact, that these compressed bunches of overgrown grass decided to reach out and grab a passing Subaru at Toronto Motorsports Park during a Canadian Sport Compact Series time trial event. See what we mean? E-VEEL.

Apparently, this particular JDM Subaru WRX had been "borrowed" from its owner, who was on vacation. And since you can actually hardly fault the hay bales themselves, we're guessing this driver, who was not seriously injured in the accident, is gonna have some serious 'splaining to do when the Subie's owner gets back home.

Check out the video in all its gruesome glory after the break, but beware of some potentially NSFW language.
