Oh, Come ON Now, Ken...
Ken Block's videos are getting outrageouser and outrageouser. And sillier and sillier. And longer and longer. But I still love 'em.
The covering email said DC Shoes and Monster Energy paid San Francisco $1 million to film it. And that SF was glad to help with permits and public safety. Well...duh... Cities are filing for bankruptcy these days.
i.m.o., yours is the most beautiful modern Mustang. I rushed to get mine because I "knew" they were gonna change the body. Beat 'em by 2 years, not 1.
I have sought out river valleys EVERYWHERE around the Great Lakes. There is nothing to compare with the Dragon. You can go faster, but you can't go funner.
When the Bulllitt came out, I said "Oh, s***." Turned out that only thing that I lacked was the uprated suspension. And that was a BIG thing. But a convertible had been on my bucket list...
I take my Civic Si to the Dragon because my 'Stang feels as big as a house in the (rare) twisties I can find in Northern IL. Also, it never sees rain or salt. The Si is my daily driver.
But one of the Si's wheels is leaking air. So I'm cruising Tire Rack, wondering how far I can go without losing the ability to back out of my driveway in the winter...

Nice find PA!
Hey, WT, thanks for the comment. If I can build this site, I'd like to get some bikers in and add some "authorized posters."
From my viewpoint, it's all about "voices" and contributors. As long as we're not lecturing each other about...stuff...
And BTW, WT, is that a 2008-2009 Bullitt "tribute" in your thumbnail picture?
Righteous! If you were to comment/post regularly, we could annoy people by Bleeding Ford Blue.
Yes, it's my 09 Bullitt.
It keeps telling me that I need to plan another trip back to 'Deals Gap' : )

In your dreams, Anonymous.
You know what Ken needs to be, instead of a WRC driver? A stunt driver-writer-director-producer.
