Well, you gotta give KB *some* credit.

Maybe the multiple takes was because his C***ford built engine kept blowing up and they had to sling another one under the hood.

Maybe they make good engines sometimes, I dunno. Not a good experience with them.

One of my racer friends said a few years ago something to the effect of "I used to have a lot of respect for rally drivers, until I saw that Ken Block was a national champion." There may be some interpersonal beef to that but I remember a lot of vitriol involving phrases like "sweatshop" bandied about.

This has officially hit everybody on the internet. My father-in-law sent me a link to the video.

I think Monster, DC, Crawford, Subaru and BFG have received their money's worth (that's not a dig, either)!
