Needs less car sounds, more music sounds. I will buy a pair of DCs to help support this cause. That is all.

This makes no sense.

He's good. He's got a market. He's naturally gonna have fans. I don't see the problem.

If he brings more fans to a different segment of motorsports, that's a good thing - all day long.

This thread started out weak (with the exception of the first post), but is finishing strong.

Actually Ken block seems like a pretty cool guy who has some good luck and an aggressive marketing team...
Driving race cars is fun... I know I have gone to eco car conventions and talked up "going green" in search of funding... I sure as hell would wear dumb glasses and put out slo motion drift videos if there was serious money behind it, can't blame the guy.

Ken Block fanboys can eat Loebs french pen15, I hate "rally fans" who only know that Petter is a champion in his WRX and Ken Block is an amazing driver.

This video is definitely one of the cooler ones though, playing with gravity/banking is was really awesome, and must have been interesting to get used to.
I approve.
He's not the best driver on the WRC circuit, but he is entertaining to watch, and its nice to FINALLY have an American tearing it up with the best drivers in the world.

ELECTRIC IS THE FUTURE. Embrace it because you can't change it. My 180 and RS will always run on fuel even if I have to brew it myself, but I plan on building an EV motorcycle this year. Change is perpetual, get involved. :yesnod

As we get older, the possibility that we can afford 2 cars is increased. If your commuter car is electric and your race car is a race car, can you really complain? The better overall mileage cars get will drop the price of fuel as well. Less demand, Lower Price. I would drive a super slow electric toy to work, I don't need to race on my way to work, and if you feel the need to look cool, thats just sad.

Ture...I am just tired of seeing everyone wear his stuff and they have no clue who he is. TO them hes just the Drifter on Fantasy Factory...Every time I go to the Stire I see someone wearing his Jacket, Hat, and/or shirts.

I was stating Obama is cooler the dyrdek. I hate Obama and the whole political s***. IMO, nothing is going to go the way we want. If he wants me to drive an electric car...Then He'll have to buy it for me. UNtil then I would say my s13 is safe.

What if my commuter is a road bike, my grocery getter is modded 240sx and my race car is electric?
