not a legend - but this gains him many man points! " On March 9, 2011 Bilzerian raced fellow race car enthusiast and Supreme Court Litigator Tom Goldstein for a wager of $385,000 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, with Bilzerian racing a 1965 AC Cobra and Goldstein behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 Italia. Bilzerian won the race."
I assume this was a straight line drag race? (otherwise it suggests Goldstein can't drive a greasy stick up a pigs a**e !!)
I think "race car enthusiast and Supreme Court Litigator" is a euphemism for practical and/or mechanical ineptitude.

The suspension on that truck is the stuff of dreams. It's insane how the body stays flat as it bounces down massive bumps sideways. Incredible.

good video to start with,and that truck! what a bit of kit,unreal the way jumps off the terrain and does't bounce off the road.
don't think the Bowler range rover would get even close to it.
Two wheel drive rules !!! imagine how good rallying could have been now without 4x4.....

A now tired formula and its an automatic, at least ken Block had to make a semblance of changing gears
Because the wheels are leaving the ground you would shock load the transmission and kill it...pretty much all of the winning off road vehicles are auto. Plus Block is primarily only working on the x/y plane, BJ adds in Z....so I think that more than makes up for the lack of manual gear changes!

Anything resembling a spine is a tough concept for him to come to terms with.
