Ken Block's loose in San Francisco WARNING: Gymkhana heavy video

He's done it again...and this time the Streets of San Francisco served as backdrop...

Props to a great one!

It took 4 days of filming to get all those shots. Someone at City Hall must've been desperate for the revenues and publicity this would bring, b/c getting permits to shut down major thoroughfares (even at the crack of dawn) is no easy feat here.

Awesome results, though.........

What I found amazing about this is the fact that for those of us who live here our streets and bay bridge were shut down for hours! It was complete BS that we had to deal with this cars were backed up for miles on the bridge! I can't begin to express how pissed everyone was!!! Cool video that caused thousands of people to have there day ruined!

What the heck are you talking about? The footage taken on the Bay Bridge and in the Financial District were done during the early morning hours of a weekend in May. The bridge wasn't shut down for hours, and there weren't miles of cars backed up. This isn't the first time the bridge has been shut down for commercial or movie shoots, per the item at the bottom of this column:
