Ken who?
I sure wish I had a 600+hp 4WD Focus to play with.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Much more technically impressive than either of the first two!

Don't dis' the Segway. The Segway pilot is my pal Brian Scotto, who is the former editor of 0-60 mag, and now does PR for the Block media machine. When I first met him, it was at some press event where he was just the tall kid from some "lifestyle" magazine (he was working for some 22" wheel type of mag at the time) with the flat-billed cap who nobody took seriously. Talking to him for a few minutes, and hearing his stories about building first-gen Sciroccos in borrowed garages all over Brooklyn, I realized he was a cool guy.
He's also about 6'8" tall, which made for a very interesting time when I saw him at a Lotus Exige preview. I think there was actually a knee protruding from each window.
And, yeah, the new KB vid is quite good. Anyone who can make watching one car compelling is okay in my book.

He should do an aircraft carrier next. Go big or go home.

Maybe he should actually drift the aircraft carrier.

I'm worried he'll end up like the last guy who tried a car stunt on an aircraft carrier (though there are plenty of detractors who would like it that way):

As usual, lots of fun to watch. I let my son take a break from homework to watch it and with both giggled like, well, kids.
I must admit, I was intrigued by the sticker on his door: Hoonigan....

With that kind of budget, you can be as hard on parts as you want!

Great vid. I love all of these videos.
Better to be a racer for a moment than spectator for a life time.

Wow, that video actually proves that the GT3 physics engine is acurate when it comes time to do crazy 4wd 100mph donuts..

Seems like a more violent car than the Scooby, he looked like he was working/cringing a little harder in this one than the others.

Does anybody else feel like this one finally backed away from the gimmicky slo-mo stuff, lightbulbs breaking, etc? I think this is my favorite.
'cause we're aliens, and thats how we roll.

I agree, more action less gimic. But I do miss the sound of the subaru.

If only it ran the 5 cylinder that is in the Focus RS eh? It'd sound BETTER than a Subie!
