    He likes rallies. Let's get him signed up. ;)

    BTW, a PPI won't reveal that he did that after he buys a new set of tires.

    I think you might be right :). In addition, in the video he nearly stuffs it a few times.

    I think the term "Blocking it" summarizes the amount of stupidity going on in that video?

    It's certainly a reason to need a new Ferrari (as well as new tires). ;)

    ...our posters have ever enjoyed the experience of a high horsepower front engined American car.

    Oversteer is fun even if the dooosh driving in this demonstration is abusive.

    Not to diminish Mr. Block's skills at all, but that Subaru was purpose-built to do only that.

    Two things surprised me anout the OP video.
    1. I'm surprised you could do that on top of what looks like a Las Vegas hotel garage for that long and not have the casino goon squad be there in 10 seconds and Las Vegas Police there in 30 seconds.

    2. I'm surprised that it didn't end badly. I guess I just expect youtube videos to have a tragic ending when they start out like that!
