Ken Block 43VER, Tesla 4 Not Much Longer

We’re back with some sad news about the passing of Ken Block, some schadenfreude about Tesla’s ongoing fuckups, and there’s a new Prius that’s actually good-looking. But first: we try to figure out who is/isn’t a fed, Zach emulates the Dukes of Hazard, Conner equips snow tires and breaks a door handle, Bryant ponders twin turbos, and Brandon breaks stuff.
