A few years ago, I saw this little Finnish Toyota Starlet run at the Mt. Washington hillclimb. I don’t think my ears have stopped ringing.

I loved the car so much that I still check up on it every so often, making a note to check in on Mikko Kataja and his Starlet. Here he is at Mt. Washington back in 2017:
That is a tight, tight little one-and-a-quarter lane road, and this Starlet makes it look like a highway. It doesn’t exactly hide the bumps, though. That is a rough, rough course, and I don’t know how Kataja made it out of the car with all of his teeth intact.
