@z28camero4eva: yo brah check it out I just bought a bugatti on tv im putting 28s on that beyotch!

For a second, I thought it was that pompous ass Dean Kamen.

@MajorOutage: Ouch! The truth hurts.

I'll admit, I'm usually the first in line to bag on Block. This video surprised me with few gimmicks, video that wasn't over-produced, and some real speed in his driving. Some slight errors in driving were actually shown, but they reinforced that he was driving his ass off. Bravo!

@jwilder204: I see this gearbox has the Mystery Gear option. I may be mistaken, but VW may have patented this in the 1980s on their watercooled vehicles.

Where can I purchase my official Ken Block Ford Fiesta Castrol Monster DC Shoes Pirelli Gymkhana backwards-fitting flatbill hat?

Is it bad enough that Michael Bay ruins movies?

@vinnyverde: Awesome fact: the turbocharged Scoupe had a whopping 115 horsepower.

The Chrysler LeBaron convertible. Besides having no redeeming qualities, including the difficult-to-operate convertible top, it was just plain demeaning to drive.

It wasn't the dodge charger or the rosary beads that saved him. It was the tight girlpants and white belt.

@87CapriceEstate thinks Hurricane Katrina is a bitch: All my VWs were late 80s A2 chassis. Drive until dead, save the good bits, buy another.

After watching this video, I can feel better about myself. I feel fortunate that I have a little bit of common sense, a small amount of driving skill, a few friends, and a job.

@87CapriceEstate 2 years and counting: Transmission, Michigan rust, and a worn out suspension.

I've wired the throttle open on a VW Jetta that was being scrapped. It was more fun with some beer and a few friends placing bets on how long it would last while bouncing off the rev limiter. The cooling system exploded about eight minutes in. It took 12 minutes until an oil fire melted some wiring.

@arozzi: Turbodiesel fanatics are my least favorite. I own and enjoy one, but don't want to be lumped in with those mouthbreathers.

The 2.2L Turbo Dodge crowd . These guys are fanatical about doing the most with the least. Some running examples can be found for less than $1000.

Did someone finally tell the folks at Dodge about the Ramgina?

@darkgroove: Sorry about that. I have my backwards-fitting flatbill hat on now, ready to ride Ken's sack, but I lost my link to NASIOC.

Same shit, different car. *yawn*

In the D, it is pronounced "BRO-haaaaaam".
