LOL. Don't you know there was a big pile of broken body panels and bent rims when they were done.

They don't even try to hide the freakin' tire marks throughout the entire video...

I am BEYOND tired of people calling this guy "an amazing driver".

In 20 WRC races he's scored a total of 12 points. Average finish: 18th. Sebastien Loeb totally spanked him at the X-Games.

I will give Block props for developing and promoting his "brand" even if it is short on substance. And DC does make nice shoes.

SPEED doesn't pay the bills cause we do , including you WJM . Why would we want to put another energy drink on here . I'm not trying to cause trouble just wondering out loud I guess .

I didn't think the energy drink conflict was a big deal. Do you close your eyes at the Safeway when you walk past the other guys drinks?

These are streets I drive on so maybe that is why I enjoyed it.

I dug it Bruce. Especially when TP made an appearance... Long live the 2-Stroke.

Less than .01% of people in the world can drive like that, so if anyone is saying he can't drive, probaly sits on a couch and plays X-Box all day and says they can drive better.

I had steering brakes in my cars 40 years ago so this just seems kind of normal to me. But, what Block or any of the other better drivers do in these little cars still is interesting to watch. I didn't have 650 HP, more like 100 from a VW engine.

Again, the video is some local shots for me. I live out in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento. But, we also have a condo in San Francisco. It's going to be 105 in EG today and 70 is SF. During the Summer you know where I am a lot.
