It is often assumed that because athletes are able to get their adrenaline fixes when in competition, their lives off the field or course are pretty chill. For example: Downhill skateboarderKevin Reimerprobably drives some milquetoast, beige (in spirit, if not color) transportation appliance when he’s not using gravity to get around/risk severe bodily harm, right? Well, not quite: Mr. Reimer’s motorized vehicle of choice is actually anR32-chassis Nissan Skyline GT-R.

But lest you assume this Canadian (Hence why he was able to import it, thanks to the Great White North’s far more sensible laws regardingfour-wheeled forbidden fruit.) extreme sports star hitched his wagon to theur-Godzilla by accident, know that Kevin and this classicNissansuper coupe have both won races on Australia’sMount Panorama, home to theBathurst 1000. Some things are just meant to be.
