Actually Christian Edstrom is a Rally co-driver for Travis Pastrana. I agree Explorers are the worst.More importantly, regardless of vehicle, the speed at which people now drive during snowstorms is CRAZY. The other morning, while driving to work (on the Maine turnpike-speed limit reduced to 45mph) I was routinely passed by SUVs and P/U trucks which must have been going at 70+mph. This is nuts, these guys are not skilled in this type of driving as rally folks are. While all the safety features found on todays autos are very good they also create a sense of invicibility which is bad...very bad. I don't want to be taken out by the fools and ruin my car . Also rally cars are set off on timed intervals , so a car rarely encounters another car, unlike when we all are driving to work.
