Man Runs 370 Marathons in One Year, Proves Nothing Is Impossible Posted: 14 Apr 2016 08:22 AM PDT For most people, running one or two full marathons a year is quite the feat, but for 33-year-old Rob Young it’s merely a short warm-up.

Need for Speed – 81-Year-Old Polish Lady Loves Driving Her 300hp 2016 Subaru WRX STI Posted: 14 Apr 2016 07:19 AM PDT Challenging the idea that elderly ladies are slow is 81-year-old Michalina Borowczyk-Jędrzeje. The Polish grandmother is the proud owner of a 2016 Subaru WRX STI, a car that she enjoys taking out for a spin every single day. Photographs and video clips of her driving the cool sports car have gone viral online, much to the amusement of younger Polish residents. Speaking to the media, Michalina revealed that she's been passionate about fast cars since childhood. And now that she's retired, she has plenty of time to drive around town in her favorite car. Some reports have suggested that the Subaru isn't Michalina's first car – she has apparently owned several Opels, a BMW, a Mazda, and a Honda before this. But Subaru has always been her favorite, and she saved up for 13 years before she could finally afford the €46,000 ($50,285) car. |
