We have a special affection for members of the opposite sex who are into cool cars. And by that, we don't mean into having expensive SUVs or Bentleys. Like unicorns, women with awesome driving skills are very rare and whenever we do happen to stumble upon something really interesting, we jump at the chance to share the news.
Romanian drift girl Ramona Rusu is already familiar to the autoevolution readership. Her Youtube videos are quite popular and through them she's shown skill with both a classic Bimmer and a Mazda Miata.
Now she's back with a show car that she's owned at least since 2010, if not longer. It's a custom Ford Probe with OZ wheels, a full body kit and sweet pink paintjob. The interior has also been completely remade using white leather. Even the stuff under the bonnet has been refreshed, as the engine cover and exhaust manifold have been painted white, while the leads for the spark plugs and the oil cap are both pink.
Built between 1989 and 1997, the Ford Probe comes from Flat Rock, Michigan. It's rather strange to see this old timer half a world away in the hands of an Easter European girl who can drift. But at least it's being lavished with attention. Ramona's Probe seems to be a late model equipped with the 2.2-liter turbo engine sourced from Mazda. In stock form, it was good for 145 hp, but this car isn't anywhere near stock.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
