Nicole Johnson is a YouTuber and former Monster Jam driver (yes, as in monster trucks) who is on a mission to drive everything that is cool, weird, different, and fun. Her channel, Nicole Johnson's Detour, demonstrates that she's accomplishing her mission; from 1,000HP rat rods to crazy EVs and everything in between, she never drives the same thing twice.
