You gotta love Google for knowing how to have a good time. To date there have been countless ‘candid’ moments caught by the Google Street View team, everything from public urination, topless sunbathing or just good ‘ol falling off your bike.
The team most recently found a little ‘detour’ onto Laguna Seca, which in turn found its way onto Google Maps Street View.

The Cinderella Story which belongs to Swedish driver Kenny Bräck inked it’s chapter on redemption today, with an Gold Medal finish at the 2009 X Games. Bräck won the gold with an impressive display of both road and rally driving skills along with a bit of luck. A brief of history on Bräck: this CART, IRL and IROC Series driver claimed an Indy championship in 1999 and then had his career (and life) all but ended after a devastating crash at Texas Motor Speedway. Entering as a rookie to Rally and X Games, this event also marked Bräcks’ first return to heads up driving competition since the crash.
After battling through Eliminations, Bräck was matched up against top seeded and favored drivers; Ken Block in the Semi’s and Travis Pastrana in the Final. Bräck got a bit of help from driver error which ended in DQs for both Subaru drivers, giving Bräck and his Ford Fiesta Team the Gold. Although he won on DQs there’s nothing to be taken anything away from Bräcks’ accomplishment, as he did turn the fastest time of the day with a 3:24.887 (Pastrana turned the second fastest time with a 3:25.342).

Feast your eyes on another model that won’t grace American streets with its presence – The Subaru Impreza STI Spec C. The Subaru Impreza STI Spec C just went on sale in Japan and boasts 304HP and 311ft/lbs of torque from, get this, a 2.0L. Helping to achieve that number from the 2.0L is a reworked ball bearing sin the turbocharger, ECU retune and intercooler water sprayer. The performance doesn’t come from power alone, the body has gone on a crash diet of sorts with a smaller battery, lightened hood and even lightweight Laminar glass.
In addition, the Spec C get’s an aesthetic treatment ranging from red stitched Recaros to lightweight 18-inch alloy wheels. Production is limited to 900 units, so if you’re overseas, get in line… quick.
