It didn't impress me. I feel cheated out of 7:30 mins of my life.

i thought it was impressive. it could've been one run but was the first one? nope. cinematography was great i thought. if you're not looking for some godly experience then it should put a smile on your face.

With the right team/car, he could easily be successful in WRC.

Actually him and Sir Wrecksalot Pastrana did race like 1 or 2 races at one point and got their asses handed to them.

I'm not arguing he isn't a good driver but come on, do you really think he could beat Loeb even with a faster car?!

Agreed, that he is in a great situation and it's cool he's decided to take up driving (hopefully for the growth of the sport here in America), but let's be a little more objective about his actual ability.

The videos are cool, no doubt, but holy carp at the cock gobbling! Please, someone find the extra footage from the first one, he pretty much destroyed a few cars before getting any of those stunts right.

You can't be serious.

What's up with the light bulb obsession?

Yeah, it kinda reminded me of every cheesey 70s car chase, like where they have to bust through the pane of glass some guy is carrying through the street, dodge the old lady, bust through the fruit stand, and the obligatory jumping the streets of San Francisco...

First one was better.

I'm a hater but I'll just say simply that I LIKE. Maybe I'm biased because it was filmed in San Pedro

LA!
