That's the second coolest car video I've ever seen. The first is the first Ken Block Gymkhana vid. Sick.

That was pretty sick, i still like the first one better, but that one was 10x flashier and over the top, the test dummy and waterballon was pretty slick.

I think the editor got a little happy with the slow-mo though

That driver's obviously got some insane skills, some of the tricks were pretty impressive, and I liked the slow-mo parts (especially rolling over the tubes in that one turn), but after about a minute the constant drifting thing got a little old, not to mention the fact that most of the audio track sounds like someone playing with a chainsaw.

How this is an "informercial" is beyond me. What, if you buy their clothes/shoes, you'll magically develop mad crazy driving skills? ... or you'll just wind up looking like the douchebag with the paintball gun?

Doesn't make him any less of a douche, though.

Jesus ... who pissed in your Wheaties, dude? Do you have a personal connection with this Ken Block guy, or are you just cutting loose with some free-floating hostility?

You have to admit, some people get paid a lot of money to do stuff the rest of us would pay to just get the chance to do. Some people just get waaaaay too lucky.

Indeed. You'd think this Ken Block guy could have at least bought clothes that actually fit. Instead, it looks like he used to weigh 350 lbs. and then had his stomach stapled a year ago, but he hasn't gotten around to buying new clothes for his smaller size. Then again, what do I know? I'm just a grumpy old man (at 31 ). I'm not "down" with the latest trends and fashions. I must be so completely out of touch with reality that I can't fathom how truly awesome this paintball gun-wielding badass truly is.

Whatever the case, the driver's cool and clearly has some skills, but the sound of that car gets annoying after 30 to 60 seconds, and the Limp Bizkit reject beating himself in the head with light bulbs was pretty much irrelevant to the whole deal. I'm stupid, I guess. I can't make the connection. It's like, "Heyyyyyyy, check out this fast car and this dude hauling ass around this nifty course with stuff blowing up, and cool slow-motion shots, and stuff breaking, and ... and ... oh yeah, that guy with the paintball gun? Remember that stuff he was wearing? Yeah. Buy that. 'Cause, like ... it's cool. So then you can be all, like ... that dude. With a paintball gun. Shooting at a car doing circles around you. Or something. And stuff. Um, yeah."

Maybe this would work better as an informercial if it had Vince from Shamwow in it.

WHOA, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! Did I not make myself clear the last time you acted up, that you were on thin ice? See you in two weeks!

How is this video any worse than all the beer, or food ads with hot women who love you because you have Wendys, or whatever it is?

I think you guys who criticize the people in the video are just reaching for things to put down.

The guy who breaks the light over his head, I believe is Ken Block, not just some "limp bizcut reject" but the star of the show. The guy shooting I also believe owns the company (or is a partial owner) the infomercial was shot for.

I see this is a pretty badass commercial... Like every other one, it doesn't make me personally want the product, but it is no different than 90% of them, other than having some insane driving in it!

In the video Ken is wearing a racing suit as he is the one driving.

I guess the dude with the paintball gun is there to simulate how the Police would stop this guy when encountered by him?
