autoweek artice on ken block

He looks like an indie rocker with that beard.

Dude is living the dream. He played the game correctly.

Ken Block is 45? I always thought he was in his early 30's. That's reassuring me that I still have time to make everyone on this board jealous by becoming a pro rally driver.

BTW, he finished 7th in the Mexico WRC round this weekend!

You joke but it is slightly reassuring on some level. My friends and I have all been told by our parents that we are trying to do too much too soon.

My buddy has put over 30K into his BMW track car in the last 3 years, I've purchased a new-to-me car every year for the last 5 years (In my defence, some cost less than $500). We have all recently purchased homes and are trying to keep the habit alive.

It's just nice to see that you don't have to do it all in your 20's.
