It’s going to take a while to get used to writing Ken Block and Ford in the same sentence. But here we go: Pictured above is Block’s new Rally America Championship Ford Fiesta race car. And while the dripping-paint motif of the Monster-sponsored Fiesta is, you know, pretty ugly really the car is cool.

Block will debut the car at this weekend’s Sno* Drift rally in Northern Michigan. It’ll be the first of six Rally America races Block will race the Fiesta in this season. Ford will also provide his race car for seven rounds of the World Rally Championship, although that car will be a Focus RS. And, naturally, Block will also perform at the X games in July driving a Ford.

We’d be surprised if Block didn’t squeeze in the filming of a sequel for his hooliganism-as-high-art Gymkhana series of videos.

Make the jump for an more photo and video samples of the new Fiesta racer as well as links to Block’s earlier work with a certain Subaru.

If you are in the early stages of your research into used cars and are looking for places to gather information that could help you make your used car purchase, then take a moment to review our used car Mega Lot  that can help you figure out which used cars will work best for you and your budget or lifestyle:

Review the Inventory at a Dealership

One of the best places to begin your used car in Calgary search is to stop into a dealer. Take some time to walk through the dealer lot to inspect the inventory. You’ll notice that there are stickers on the windows of all used cars. These stickers will tell you basic information about the vehicle, such as the price and the average miles per gallon. A short walk through can give you a good overview of what kind of price range and availability are out there for a particular dealership or manufacturer.

Ask a Dealer Questions

After you’ve taken time to browse the used car Mega Lot on your own, let a dealer explain to you some of the details about used cars on the lot. The dealer can tell you about expected maintenance and service (which will be helpful if you are planning your budget), as well as other features of the used car which could help you make your decisions - or at least learn about what’s available.

Test Drive Models

Finally, at Woodridge Ford , your Calgary Ford Dealer will also be happy to take you on a test drive of some of the used cars you like the most. During these test drives, you’ll get a good feel for the used car, including a feel for how the cars drive, what the visibility is like, and the comfort of the used car.

Look Online

There are dozens of best practice resources available online that can help used car buyers learn more about what types and models of used cars are available, including what features many used cars have and what price they average by year and mileage. Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds are two of the most popular resources for objective information and used car reviews, for example.
