    Whether you were a rally fan of not, the man had mad driving skills. I thoroughly enjoyed his drift videos.

    A sad end. Built a highly successful shoe company and took it global via smart endorsements and sponsoring, sold it for something like $87MM and moved to the Reno area for a more family friendly community with plenty of outdoor activities, gone at 55. He definitely loved live, and lived it in his own way, but gone much, much too young. RIP Ken Block, and prayers for your family dealing with the loss.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    That was a hard one to take, I really enjoyed watching his amazing precision driving. That Mustang of his was incredible.
