Gumball 3000 is awesome. I had never heard of it before and one of my friends said to look at it on kazaa. Wow those cars are impressive.

Yuck! I was just reading the forums on the gumball site and it seems there are a few hondas and ricers in the race this year....that is lame. This is a race/rally for exotic cars, nobody wants to see a prelude...:disgust:

Agree with you. This race is for filthy rich 50-something men, with 25 year old GFs that have $100K of plastic surgery, racing around in $250K cars...with no fear of arrest. :cool:

Damn...guess I better call Jamie Farr up and tell him to forget the Sheik costume. Oh well....live and learn. I just hope Dean Martin isn't too upset and doesn't try to shove bleeds, yes these bleeds, up my nose.

They should have a rule like: Your car must cost this much stock to enter.

Why? Is it only entertaining if it is elitist? I'd like to see a few average Joe's thrown into the mix.

Edit: I guess it's cooler to see a Ferrari than a Focus...but I still think it'd be cool to put a couple of 'lower-end' cars in there.

Its about 10000 to get in, average joe prolly would save his money. But there are young people and hot chicks in the race as well, everoyne isnt old.

Why is Johnny Knoxville on the front page of that site? Sounds pretty cool though. I'll download some of those videos.

Won't the cops in those cities know they are coming and just set up a lot of speed traps?
