So, I guess she should keep doing it then...? I mean, I guess she is going to strip it and rebuild it anyway for a Pikes Peak car, but still.

Well, that woman is Brianne Corn and she's a rally driver. So I think she was emphasizing the blown struts by pumping the car on purpose.

She's funny. Rally drivers are funny.

But wierd how BOTH rear stuts are blown. Which means the previous owner probably put lowering springs on the stock struts or something like that.

I saw a guy with cut springs and blown shocks rolling on the freeway. We roll along side him and all started bouncing in my car. Dude was MAD.
