    I didn't enjoy that at all.

    Unexpected validation that the sensation/sounds of engine revving, gear shifting, etc. are indeed something that's important to me, even if only experiencing it on video.

    Meh - Ken can never complain about not being able to see in the dust at rallies anymore. lots of Audi automotive eye candy in the background for those with keen eyes.

    This.

    I shut it off after 5 minutes as I watched enough Jetson's as a kid growing up.
    I like neat cars.

    Agreed. The build biology is actually pretty good to watch. Car is a VW rally race chassis and around 6000 ft-lbs of combined torque from a dig. Stationary awd unassisted burnouts no problem.

    I think this is the most boring one of them all. They're trying to really show how crazy and powerful the car is but failed to make it dance. Miss the jaw dropping tight drifts on the edges from before. Maybe EV is the problem.

    Please, please, please somebody re-edit the video with a tilt-shift effect and add a toy RC antenna on the car. Just looks like an over stylized carpet racing car video.

    Biggest oof lol

    As for caring about him, his motorsports pursuits are fun to follow. Plus he's just a decent dude in general if you get a chance to meet him.

    But in a general sense? I think it's fair to say he is past his peak in popularity.

    If I had known you guys would end up being such bitches, I would’ve opened the parenting forum.

    I care more about Travis pastrana’s gymkhana cars now

    The entire Audi sponsorship has been a snoozefest outside of the vintage units

    I thought it was pretty cool.

    How do they coordinate something like that in Vegas? Do they edit out all the people on the sidewalks and just close down the streets? Seems like an impossible feat to accomplish

    Half of those stunts I couldn’t tell if they were intentional or he had just lost it in a straight line lol
