There have been 9 of these now? I would've guessed they were at 5 or so.

Well, the Motorhead song at the end was pretty good.

I was trying to remember what 8 was. Then I looked it up and recalled that that was the one I stopped watching halfway through.

The train & helicopter hoisting the Raptor were nice touches, and the Motorhead track rocks, but I still keep hoping Ken will actually jump a berkeleying shark one of these days. Who knows, maybe someday for his final vid?

We're going to see a lot of kids kicking their doors to close them.

Was expecting some sort of jump from the bridge...

I wanted a blooper reel where the car actually went into the drink on that one donut.

Very anti-climatic ending.

The constant changing of camera angles and over use of slow-mo make you lose the perspective of speed. Some of his earlier videos made you feel like he was absolutely flying and on the ragged edge.

Probot, actually.. Lemmy and Dave Grohl..

This video confirmed to me that Ken Block is really good at doing donuts around stationary objects. Maybe the best there is..

Yeah, not his best. I suppose it gets harder and harder to top yourself.

As a kid, I can say that is the first thing that came to my mind

Did you notice this gem from 4:00 in? Talking about "on the edge" - quite literally!

That shot was pretty good. That's about where I hoped the car went for a swim. For lulz

What else can you do with an AWD car in a camera friendly way that has mass appeal? ("Mass appeal" being "lowest common denominator")

One of my friends from years back kept wanting to paint our LeMons car in a Dazzle paint scheme. I am very curious as to his reaction if/when he sees this.
