More hoonigan nonsense from Ken Block. His stuff is kinda silly, but the boy can drive slideways better'n anybody. (I do wonder if he can just drive to the grocery store and back without needin a new set of tires when he gets back...)

I think it is silly but seems to attract viewers.

Entirely to his credit and the utmost respect for doing so (and it does take guts), he has run a number of World Rally Championship rounds and been blown away by the boys who really do go sideways better than anybody.

For sale:

One set of slightly used tires.
Only used for one trip to the country (less than 50 miles total).

Had some slow points IMO, but the camera work is iconic.

The stick that isn't the shifter is front rear balance for the AWD?
