'one tears up the road' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'in plum car i'd let out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in'+'plum'+'car'+'id'+'let'='inplumcaridlet'
'inplumcaridlet' with letters rearranged gives 'PNEUMATIC DRILL'.
