Quad Amputee Taylor Morris Drifts Mazda6 to Get Ken Block’s Attention

We rarely come across a video as genuinely heart touching as the one telling us a small part of Taylor Morris’ story. He is a quad amputee, and his injuries were caused when he served in Afghanistan. However, to prove the fact that the physical body is not everything that matter, he decided to prove both to himself and the world that he can function in society, even without his arms and legs.
He went one step further, when he took out some of his buddies out in his all-wheel drive Mazda6 MPS or MazdaSpeed6 in the US, and drifted it in the snow, while filming the action from both inside and outside the car, using a radio-controlled helicopter.

His goal is to get the attention of Ken Block, as he understandably wants a passenger seat ride with the one who can drift a Fiesta rally car better than anybody else. We hope he succeeds!

Also, the description of the video paints an even more accurate picture of what Taylor actually wants, and why he wants it:

"This is a video of Taylor Morris, the 5th surviving Quad Amputee who served over in Afghanistan as a Navy EOD petty officer. Taylor was injured almost 8 months ago and this was his first time driving an unmodified vehicle since his injury. Taylor goes all the way!!! We made this to showcase how far Taylor has come since May 3rd, 2012... Taylor's dream is to ride shotgun with Ken Block. Let's make that dream become a reality! Tweet him this video and tell him to check out Taylor! Maybe he'll give him a ride! #TaylorRideWithKen"
