    As kick-to-the-jaw awesome as the Group B beasts were, the rear-drive machinery that preceded them (Escort RS, Ascona 400, 131 Abarth, Sunbeam Lotus, et al) were just as rad, IMO. #kenblock

    This is great.
    For the past years (I'm thinking 1997-2008), the so-called "money years", the emphasis culturally in our world has been on money, bling, luxury and other superficial marketing-based crap; this translated "automotively" in super expensive flashy customs and racing trends such as "drifting" and all that other fast n furious inspired crap.
    Now that we're all broke, those values aren't so dominant anymore and I hope that people will gravitate towards more authentic stuff such as grassroots racing and maybe rally racing.

    Jalopnik has always more or less understood that, but videos like this one might convince the wider public.
    So +1 mr Block #kenblock

    Psst...Block and Atkinson have been reported to be the drivers for the new Monster Energy Drink WRC team for the upcoming WRC season. Scuttlebutt says they'll be driving select events in an '09 Focus WRC before going to the WRC Spec Fiesta and a full calender the following year. If true, than that makes this "team building"....and a whole lot of fun. #kenblock

    Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast looked more exciting than this "movie."

    I can get behind blowing cars up if they're Hyundais, Kias, and whatever my former boss is in.

    You know what, just him. If we can blow his sorry ass up that'd be cool. I could even spare the Hyundais. #2012

    In reply to Holden Commodore Gets Airborne, Lands On Sydney House

    Commodore drivers are gaining (if not gained) a reputation for being hoons in Oz and NZ.

    I'm not deriding all Commodore drivers, the hoon ones are easy to spot...

    -Mostly 88' to 97' vintage (VN - VX)
    -5 Litre V8 (sometimes 3.8L Buick V6 if 'P' plater)
    -Typical mods like paint-tin sized exhaust tip, darker than legal tint, ill-fitting body cladding.
    -Jim Beam or Jack Daniels sticker on rear window. #australia

    @LandofMinos, is punching Prius people for pleasure: You forgot several important details :
    -dodgy HSV sticker somewhere, possibly even an attempt to be fake HSV
    - oversized girlfriend with muffin-top hanging over jeans texting on pink phone
    - drivers seat reclined to touch rear seat
    - obligatory lighting up of inside rear wheel at all turns, intersections, traffic lights, roundabouts, McDonalds drive-thru, etc. Not difficult with 185 series tyres, open diff and live axle.
    - one rim replaced with spare tyre due to ill-judged drifting accident #australia

    @brc is never late, because of his v8: Your last two points reminded me of when I was out at Penrith visiting a friend one evening years ago. We heard the distinct noise of a V8 revving up, spinning tyres and then a weird crack.

    We went outside and as was met by the sight of a maroon VP SS sitting at an odd angle over the gutter in front of my friends house. It's rear driver-side wheel collapsed almost under the car.

    We could tell what happened from the fish-tailing black marks on the road from the car back to a roundabout 100 metres (330ft) away. The P plater (back when P platers could drive V8's) had exited the roundabout, sunk his right boot and we guess was unprepared for the instant torque those old 5.0L Holden motors produced and ended up fish tailing sideways into the gutter back wheel first.

    The rozzers turned up not long after that and wrote the idiot kid a couple of tickets. #australia
