Ken Block’s Ford Fiesta
Ken Block’s rally career began in 2005. His skill and car control became quickly apparent and Block aptly nabbed Rookie of the Year in the Rally America Championship. Since then, Block has continued to race in the series, boasting a healthy number of podium appearances, as well as X Games medals. In addition to his performance in the car, Block has been a driving force in shedding light on the sport within the United States. Block co-founded DC Shoes, a worldwide leader in performance skateboarding shoes and a renowned action sports brand. His keen branding and marketing acumen not only elevated DC to their current eminent status, but has allowed Block to achieve global fame as a national rally driver through his wildly successful viral video campaigns. Ad Age named his “Gymkhana TWO” the No. 4 Viral Video of 2009.

The 2010 Ford Focus
John Heinzl from Thursday’s Globe and Mail wrote about the Focus and it’s “Features for the money!” Turns out the Focus is a great deal, and might even be more fun with the money saving standard transmission!!
“It’s practical, affordable, comfortable and well laid out. If those are your criteria, this is a compact you should definitely be looking at…”
“My only regret is that I didn’t get to test the five-speed manual. As much as I enjoyed zipping around in the four-speed automatic, driving the SES with a stick would have been even more fun.”
