This was a sad attempt to take a picture of my odometer.  I wanted to get a picture of my odometer at 123456 miles.  (It's kind of fortunate that the picture didn't come out right, because I didn't actually make it to where the camera was before the odometer hit 123458.  Of course, it's a digital odometer, so driving it backwards would actually make the numbers go higher.)

The car is a 1985 Chrysler Laser XE Turbo.  Those front-wheel-drive turbo Chryslers are a lot faster and tougher than most people give them credit for.

Gary Donovan has a Plymouth Reliant ("Relentless") with a turbo, and he does the quarter mile in 10.41 seconds.  You would be amazed how stock the car is.  A friend of mine saw a video of Relentless embarrassing a Toyota Supra, and he was sure that Relentless just had a blown Chevy 350.  Nope, that's a four-banger!

Visit Relentless and if you're lucky enough to own one of these formerly dime-a-dozen cars, then check out Relentless Performance.
