    And you can tell he had a ton of practice by the tire marks.

    Ok, make one! I wanna see the product of it. The dude has skill.
    There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life.
    It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are. It starts, like all faiths, with a belief-a belief predicated more on whimsy than reality. And you've gotta believe for everybody else, too - until you can show them proof. If you're lucky, someone starts believing with you - first theoretically, then in practice. And two people believing are the start of a congregation. You build a congregation of believers and eventually you set out to craft a cathedral. Sometimes it's just a church; sometimes it turns out to be a chapel. Folks who don't build churches will try to tell you how you're doing it wrong, even as your steeple breaks the clouds. Never listen.- From TOUGH SHIT

    SAME! I could prolly do because %99 percent of the shit you do in life takes practice.

    I love it though.

    Was he handed all of that, and the time to practice? No... he BUILT his business, and then said "I want to become (this!)", and then made it happen with his own business.

    So, make an AWD car that gets backed by the company you brought up from the ground up, and you will get it....?

    Not that i have to justify myself to any of you, prove a point, or start an argument. I say this anyway.

    Is he a talented driver, sure. Is he impressive, NO. This is the work of fancy camera tricks, location, and basically money. Could i do that, i'm willing to bet my last dollar i could. Given the amount of attempts he did it in, i know i could do it. Was the video impressive, why yes it was. It sure did entertain me when i watched it, as does 99% of the bullshit on the internet.

    Am I the only one that watches these for the fancy editing and camera tricks and all that bullshit? Not to mention he is tearing through a city (in which given the opportunity, all of us would do) I really dont like Ken Block, I really dont like DC, however, I do like fancy video editing and turning a fwd economy car into an awd beast. Everything he did in this one was done in the 1st, 2nd, etc... Im sure we all dont watch action movies for what they give to the film community...no we want to see shit blow up and people get shot.
