    Keep the car Mark.....it must be in the custody of someone with a keen appreciation of Ken's driving genius, someone such as yourself, and it is my humble suggestion that every year, on his birthday perhaps, that the car be driven with utter enthusiasm in a fitting location to be determined annually, for all his fans to witness! Goodwood comes immediately to mind, with Ken's daughter Lia driving. Honestly, my heart weeps for his family. This was a fitting tribute. Well done.

    I never thought a stranger's death would have this much of an impact on me.

    He was a legend because he had it all.

    My heart truly goes out to his family.

      I can relate to this. I have had many celebrities die in my time and I was disappointed.
      When I heard about Ken I cried.
      I have been following him for years and he is the reason I got into cars and he became my hero.
      After seeing the type of man he was…I can’t imagine what loosing him would feel like if you were close to him.
      Such a warm, strong and loving man. My heart hurts for his family and friends.
      So much love goes out to them during this very difficult time.

      I think a museum piece that gets used and shown at events in a respectable fashion. This was the first of 4 and the very first one he killed tyres in. This car is more special and needs to be kept the way it was when ken sold it. Even pipe and nut and bolt. That's my opinion.

    It’s going to be a while before this one stops hurting. I know he squeezed every drop out of every day, but he meant so much to me and so many others. My heart is still broken. Ken is my racing/drifting/driving hero. He is the one I looked up to all these years. He influenced my love for Motorsport and my own racing and driving habits so much, and I will never stop appreciating that. I consider myself so lucky to have been around while you worked your magic behind the wheel. Thank you Ken, for everything over all these years.

    This video really hit me. My father passed away the day after Thanksgiving 2022. I purchased a house a month prior and was planning on having him move in. I hadn't spent much time with him through out the years and had hoped to learn more about him. He was only 57. Life is incredibly short and anything can happen. I feel like I took my father's life for granted.. It's been painful, then learning about Ken's passing... It has been depressing. 2 weeks following Ken's death I purchased an M52B28 w/ a ZF 5 speed trans to swap into my facelift E46 to follow a dream and to build something, a tribute to my father, a turbo car.

Ken's love and dedication to the ever expanding circles of people around him will live on forever. All his cars should be celebrated around the world whether it's a racing event or car show. A reminder of a great man and also the technology that went into his rides. A museum residence would not do enough for Ken's cars and his legacy. We need to hear there engines sing again and again. Further more I really think a proper hooning is in order to keep his great free spirit alive. Donuts for Ken!!! Much love for [Hoonigan]

    Give it one or two years of life, cruise around with it and have fun. It deserves to be showcase, given how prolific the car (and its origins) are. But do it in the way you had it in video: under wraps, seen from a distance, paid with full respect and honour. And I'm sure your connections with the Block family will provide opportunities for Ken's kids to access the car, should they wish to. And after all that, it will eventually become a piece of automotive history the public will get to see themselves without reservation like in a Ford Museum.

He taught us to be dreamers, he inspired us to drive, he showed us life is too short to get caught up on little things and Most of all Ken show us how to not "be an asshole" in his exact words. I can only imagine what everyone at the team of hoonigan and those close to ken are going through right now because, even I, have the biggest hole in my heart from a man who only existed on my phone/ computer screen.

    Mia would love to drive this car, Ken really gave alot of time to her and for a young lady, has grown in talent. She and her family truely lost alot we all did. But Mia was especially close to her dad. When's she's ready and ready to open up again, allow her the offer to drive it around the world in honour of her dad and give her the best off road and on road experiences and capture the whole thing.

      while i agree, theres also the side of "how do we stay respectful to ken, while having fun and letting his legacy live on through his car." i think they would be smart to at least let it wait until this wound isnt as fresh. but after that, they should definitely set up a small, low stakes gymkhana or rally stage and let lia drive it in tribute to him and his lagecy.

    Awesome respectful video. Great to see you put so much thought into what happens with the car. Definitely emotional. Knowing what ken was like but never meeting him in person I would think he wouldn't begrudge you driving it and using it how you want too. I think one if his kids driving it at some point would be amazing.

    It's a true icon and should be respected as one. Ken was a huge inspiration to millions and the videos and memories will always be there. Taking a selfie with it won't make he legacy better. Knowing the car is safe and retired is all that is needed. It is your car and u do as u see fit.

    Keep Ken’s legacy going and don’t let the car go it will be a true sadness to see it come off your Chanel and Ken was such an amazing person and such a driver. Please keep the car and any amazing big shows would be awesome to let people see it when the family is happy for you to show it to people. Rest easy Ken block keep them tires burning up there 😢😭

    I met Ken in Dunedin New Zealand. he was out sight seeing and i happened to spot him at lawyers head look out looking at the surf (nobody else was around).. we had a chat and a laugh about the weather and the waves.. Truly humble guy , he asked if i wanted a picture or and autograph and i said "nah mate the memory of this is far better than any of that" He laughed grabbed my hand and put his other hand the other side of it and gave it a shake,, Best time of my life and ill never forget it.. RIP Ken

    I like tthe most. we grew up with Kens videos, Hoonigan vifeos and of course wrc videos. In my opinion if you have the free time or the sponsors, this iconic car which Ken Block make us to watch again and again his videos, in every world rally championship that Kens took a part must be there for tthe funs,for the memory of Ken Block. Sorry about my English. Greetings from Central Greece from a faithfull rally and Kens Block fun. Thank you a lot for this investment. R.I.P. Ken Block.

    I think it should go too Lia who just 3 months ago spent time with her dad getting ready for her license and we all know how awesome a feeling it is finally getting to drive and no pressure when your dads Ken Block lol it was crushing news for me hearing about his accident he was a huge inspiration for me that led to my career in the auto industry we lost a hero and auto legend but his family lost that and way more than I can imagine a husband and father and someday if his daughters have kids being able to show them the legendary car that will forever be forged as Ken Blocks because when our loved ones are gone memories are all we have and good memories belong with those who will miss him the most his family. And Mark I loved how you respectfully denied displaying the car until the right people ask you made a great video honoring his memory. We will never forget Ken Block
