Some of you may remember her from Extreme 4x4 and Mythbusters. She died in a jet car crash, trying to break her own record. Sad that she's gone, but it was a life well-lived.

She was a bad ass, now she is a dead ass.

Sometimes your luck runs out. You keep pushing the envelope and one day you make the news.
