How much do you have to pay San Francisco to let you do this?

Hey, I think I recognize some of those roads but... damn. We sure weren't doing that! *laughs*

He makes it look so easy. And FUN.

Yeah, you gotta wonder how much it cost to shut the roads down so he could do all that! :)

Ken Block makes everything look so easy, it's disheartening!

The side roads wouldn't be too bad - there's always another one in the next block - but I'm not sure how you persuade SF to close the freeway bridges!

I remember the nightmare that was the traffic going from place to place when the Bay Bridge was closed for repairs. *shudders*

I wonder what the locals' reaction was to closing major highways and a bridge so Ken Block could make a cool video. "Why can't I go this way again?"

I suppose that would depend on how much the city was paid and what they did with the money. California is bankrupt, after all!

He drives just like my dad! Of course, he's doing it ON PURPOSE...

I don't know, but I've never seen the streets so empty! Not only of cars, but of people too ...

A couple months ago I was by the CalTrain station and they had blocked off part of the street so they could film a car commercial. The aides were having a hell of a time keeping all of us rowdy pedestrians from crossing the street.

I was looking at the empty streets (in the background, as well as the obvious ones) and thinking they must have filmed it around 4-5am, before people woke up. Which left me wondering what the owners of some of the houses must have felt about Ken Block making that much noise outside while they were trying to sleep!

SF is certainly used to streets being closed for filming, it's not unusual there.
