Troublemakers! Block and Scotto Crash Subaru Show

060_block.jpg Taking Rally America driver Ken "Flying Car" Block over to a Subaru gathering at a rainy Dave and Busters parking lot to sign posters and surprise the faithful seemed like a wicked awesome idea until the party got slightly out of hand.

X_rally_3.jpg

It's gotta be daunting to go up against Colin McRae in rally competition. It's like staging against Don Garlits or qualifying against Junior Johnson. Or going for a friendly jog with Carl Lewis.
