Ooooopps.... Guess I kinda 're- posted'. Sorry for that. ;)

Gogar 11-28-2008 07:33 PM

That's okay. Five threads means I've watched it AT LEAST ten times.

That look (or - Lack of a Look - ) on his face when he pulls the e-brake is priceless. Like he's knitting or something.

There is nothing more humilating than finding something 'new' on the internet and racing over to PPOT section to be the first one to post it only to find out your connection is obviously slower than the 5 other people who posted the same thing already. :D

I think that video is moronic.

Grandstanding tripe for an artless generation of suburban white boys who think they are thugs.

But what do you really think? Go on tell us. ;)

:D

The car sounds good.

Otherwise, yeah, it's not as impressive as some other videos on the net of good drivers, but it is fun to watch.

hard drive > lighten up

I fail to see how an entertaining video of some guy playing around in his car relates to "suburban white boys who think they are thugs".

That "suburban white boy who thought he was a thug" co- founded DC shoes, made his millions, and now (at age 41) has fun participating in rally america and burning up tires making entertaining videos for his company DC shoes and his sponsor subaru.

you may now return to yelling at young kids to stay off your grass...;)

svandamme 11-28-2008 09:45 PM

it's like rally minus cohones

HardDrive 11-28-2008 10:09 PM

I stand by my statement.

Lets see that self indulgent arse pilot the car around Nuremberg and post a good lap time. Any pot smoking spunktrumpet can burn tires and make it look pretty.

"DC Shoes! Cause bein' a rich suburban whigger is COOL."

LOL.

Gogar 11-29-2008 07:39 AM

You're just mad at those "pot spoking spunktrumpet rich suburban whiggers" because PIMPIN' IS TOUGH IN A BOXSTER, YO.

I too am having a tough time drawing the parallel between Ken Block's driving skill and "suburban white boys who think they are thugs."

Oh Haha 11-29-2008 08:04 AM

I thought the video was pretty cool, albeit edited.

Is the guy driving the founder of a shoe company?

I'm being serious. I am not familiar with shoes but for the mainstream brands, Puma, Nike, etc.

artplumber 11-29-2008 08:06 AM

Yah, don't thugs like bling and 'ho's and loud music? I was unaware of Gymkana as a thug trait. I guess that other 'tube video that was up with the scottish (IIRC) folks and a Lotus 7 replica, means those folks are thug wannabes too...;)

Count me in on that one too. It may not be true racing but there is absolutely no doubt that there is serious skill there.

Can always count on PPOT to produce some self- righteous, asinine comments. I guess that goes with being a liberal though.They always know what is the best way for everyone else. Smug elitist comes to mind.:rolleyes:

Deja vu all over again...

billyboy 11-29-2008 09:08 AM

I suppose it's a deep seated desire in all of us to get a new a--hole ripped on occasion. It's good to know where we can go to get straightened out!:)
