April 7th, 2009
The Rebel Alliance vehicle seen above was apparently spotted at Guardsman Pass in Utah: a Subaru Impreza WRX rolling on a mighty set of treads wearing Ken Block’s number and sponsorship paintjob. We have no idea how, why, or where he acquired such a vehicle, but we do know this much: Ken [...]

VIDEO: How NOT to unload your car from a trailer
November 9th, 2008Funnily enough, these guys aren’t the only ones to ever use a box truck to ruinous effect on an automobile.
