My first college roommate  (in the exact dorm room my daughter now lives in, LOL) was obsessed with her from Wrath of Khan.

Ken Block crushed himself under his snowmobile. I wasn't a huge fan, but he sure made the art of driving fast look very, very pretty. Also he was very supportive of his daughter getting into racing, which I think is a heck of a good dad move.

Here's Ken tearing it up in a $10M electric Audi:

As a fan of rallysport and an avid player of various racing games like the DiRT franchise I was most definitely a fan and was shocked to hear about this. Not big in the classical European rally formats, but an absolute master at Gymkhana and without a doubt the western world's most influential promoter of that sport. This man didn't sit in his cars, he wore them like a comfortable shoe, they truly became an extension of his body.

Aside from that, also one of the earlier viral stars on YouTube, I think his Gymkhana series started way back when YT was only 4 years old and I remember gawking over them with friends and colleagues whenever a new one came out. Definitely worth the watch if you like seeing cars burn some rubber.
