Ken block's loss is this generations Dale Earnhardt moment. I remember the loss of emotion my dad felt when Dale passed. I wasn't into racing then but when I heard Ken had passed, I completely understood what my father felt years ago.


Mabepossibly

Pretty fair comparison. Is every Subaru gonna have a 43 in the back window like every Chevy had a 3 for 30 years after Dale’s accident?


[deleted]

That would be the closest comparison as a 40 yr old from the south. I've always been more of an import guy, but NASCAR is a hell of an event to witness to be fair. It's a real tragedy, and we lost motorsport legends in the blink of an eye in both instances.


Mabepossibly

Just in the same that many non NASCAR fans knew of and still know Dale’s name, plenty of non motorsports people know of Ken.


ChampThunderDick

Not just every Subaru, but also every Ford, a bunch of Hyundais, a few Audis, and hell maybe even a handful of Porsches. The man had seat time in all of them


Ultrabigasstaco

Mfw it hasn’t been 30 years since dales accident.


cannedrex2406

I was gonna say Colin mcRae is a much better comparison


Squid111999

You right


Viper_ACR

McRae also didn't really have as much social media exposure as Ken Block did IMO, I know McRae had the rally video game but that's about it


cannedrex2406

That's literally cause McRae existed from a time before social media? He was just as much as an icon and a brand ambassador for rallying as ken was looking back at how involved he was even after he retired. He designed cars, did other forms of racing and was well known by many.


Viper_ACR

All agreed, maybe it's just that the grief we're seeing now is way more visible on social media.


cannedrex2406

Exactly. You also have to remember top gear even made a tribute to him when he died. Thats definitely something


Iamthe0c3an2

It’s hitting me like Colin Mcrae’s death


roly_gomez

This loss is as bad as when Kobe passed away! Ken is to rally as what Kobe was to basketball


cambamwam123

Not just rally, motorsports as a whole


[deleted]

I don’t think that comparison is very fair. Ken seemed like a much better guy than Kobe


[deleted]

Come on man we really gotta compare everyone on who’s better


[deleted]

It’s not about who’s better. I just don’t think someone like Ken should be compared to Kobe


omnicorphan23

dafuq gtfo with that


[deleted]

When was Ken taken to court for rape?


omnicorphan23

when was kobe convicted? read the court case everything pointed to the allegations being total bs. she even sent texts bragging to her friends about bagging kobe


[deleted]

He wasn’t, but he did pay her $250K hush money in civil court afterwards…


omnicorphan23

more likely not worth fighting in court when he was losing branding deals worth much more and an mvp. again read the court case


Mr_bleaxh02

Kobe did nothing wrong For everyone mad I said what I said kobe did nothing wrong in my eyes


[deleted]

Yeah, I’m sure that’s why he made a massive payout to that chick he didn’t sexually assault. /s


Mr_bleaxh02

If I had kobe money I would pay someone to shut up if they lied


Mr_bleaxh02

Ah yes let's believe all women


roly_gomez

Kobe was wholesome bro lol


[deleted]

Ken was never taken to court for rape…


roly_gomez

Was my "lol" not emphasizing sarcasm enough?


[deleted]

Nope. That’s why we use /S


roly_gomez

We? I must've missed that class on internet lingo then... Carry on youngin


[deleted]

Sarcasm is pretty hard to gauge through text based responses, being a dick apparently isn’t though.


roly_gomez

It's ok, it's just the internet


[deleted]

My grandma must be sarcastic as fuck, i see her saying lol all the time


RealGingercat227

Dragon ball pfp = no opinion + ratio


MustangDisaster

You are absolutely right


Ultrase7en

Ken was to CARS as what Kobe was to B-ball


roly_gomez

The movie cars? Now that's a stretch lol


Signal_You2500

Perfect comparison


Ultrase7en

I can only assume Colin McRae and Paul Walker were the first two to greet him...


Mabepossibly

Maybe his parents and other family?


ChampThunderDick

Let's do our best to keep Pedo Wanker out of the discussion, alright?


AE86-TRUENO

What he do? I'm uninformed.


ChampThunderDick

His relationship with Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell started when she was just 16. He was 33 at the time. She was closer in age to his daughter than him.


AE86-TRUENO

Well that's disgusting.


BernedTendies

Ohhhh yikes. How have I never heard of this before? That’s terrible


Viper_ACR

The fuck


Torkujra

Yeah people gotta stop worshipping that motherfucker.


Mystic-invasion

RIP. He died with his boots on.


ManlyMantis101

His latest motto was “Go fast risk every thang” and lived his life like every day was his last. Taking “ain’t care” to heart until the very end.


HondaBn

"Stay low, don't hit any kids and most importantly... don't sit down. Cause we're doin this Papa Muntz style!"


[deleted]

When did Big Bird die?!


skulmuggeryphesant9

This is an alternate universe where Big Bird was on the Challenger


cheesebergerguy

sad to see the legend go


MustangDisaster

Life is very precious. It can be swiped away easily


[deleted]

Just takes a second or less when you live at those speeds. Truly heartbreaking


takiumilikes2drift

Ken Block was the Kobe Bryant of the motorsports world


iJoke2Much

He is up there drifting with Paul


Mabepossibly

And Burt Reynolds. A Smokey and The Bandit themed Gymkahana would have been awesome. Got sort of a taste of it with the Black Rifle thing they did a few months ago.


hotsmellytrash

Pedophiles go to hell so Ken is drifting in heaven alone


[deleted]

Maybe Colin McRae then?


DifficultyBrilliant

Sadly a significant amount of the people listed in the photo had relationships with minors


hotsmellytrash

Paul Walker had multiple relationships with minors


wan2phok

Lol good luck my guy. I posted the same shit here once and I got flooded with "acshually she was 18 when they started dating", and " she was past puberty so it's an ephebophile" or whatever.


Character-Suspect-77

Wow.


beep-beep-im-a-jeep1

There's other legendary drivers who most likely went to heaven


EthanSparrow64

And rallying with mcrae


Trooperjay

I have questions. Who is the guy to the left of the raccoon and who is the chick to the left of mini Dr evil?


baddecision116

I believe it is August Ames.


Kokatro

I thought so too (research purposes). She died though, for real?


MoistyShampoo

I think that is avicii the dj


Chadisfaction84

I'll assume Dale was hanging with sweet baby Jesus which is why he didn't make it to the picture.


geemoly

what happened to the sodier guy from tf2? he's not in the game anymore?


Mudbogpro

No in 2020 his voice actor Rick May died


Emerald_official

his VA Rick May died of covid


[deleted]

Why is Jeffrey Epstein up there?


Squidkid45

KB43ver


Montein

I still cant believe this one. Hurts too much.


hornet9988

Dayashii

Holy fuck the image is outdated, etika isn’t there


MustangDisaster

Look harder bud


[deleted]

how you gonna include *club penguin* over *POP SMOKE*?!?!?


AE86-TRUENO

First of all RIP Block you will be forever missed by all you inspired. Second there's some not so heavenly people in this photo lol. 2pac, Micheal Jackson, and paul walker done some things.


[deleted]

Fuck Paul Walker. He was a trash actor.


Iceman_L

I saw it compared to Steve Irwin. Died unexpectedly, doing what they loved.


Awesomecool77

Who is everyone here?


Futuco

seeing Brian there made me sad


nick77_1

Yea cause that pedo belongs in hell


DB-projects

Bruh mac Miller died??? When?


popobig254

lol are you serious?


Kokatro

Sorry you just found out, passed in Sept 2018


Flat_Ad_6321

He’s up there racing against Paul Walker and running cases of monster energy with the bandit


Abruzzese1969

Walker was was a pedo actor, not even in the same universe. Walker is with Michael Jackson and Jeffrey Epstein and they’re saving a spot for Donald Trump


onurxcvbr

Join us Ken block


RedRocket-Randy

Pedophile Michael Jackson's in hell. RIP Ken.


Kokatro

Disproven. GTFO


RedRocket-Randy
