No way, My Drivers License Makes Me Money.

Already crazies on the road. Be even worse with ego/rich high horsepower garage queen drivers. Glorified Ricerfest.

It got louder and louder so i turned my head and as i did so a ferrari f430 flew by me so fast i fell off my bike. He saw this and pulled over and asked if i was ok.
i told him yea and i got back on my bike and headed over to the resort. Iv never seen so many amazing cars in my life. i noticed the guy and he began talking to me and asked me if i wanted a ride.

needless to say i was so excited i allmost crapped my self. i spent the entire day there talking, meeting new people and seeing some spectacular cars.

i would do if i had the money.

sweet story man, thanks for sharing

i would have too of crapped my pants

90% of the guys racing there are rich pricks. But the prize money and a night at the playboy mansion is a sure damn good prize. it would be worth it for me.

I´d get a early 90´s bimmer or merc, or a some lightweight rocket like a caterham, a few mods to loose weight and get more poneys, me and my older brother teaming up for the drive, it would be sweet.

But gumball is in no way serious racing, its being stupid on the road.

Seriously no disrespect intended to anyone who is into this shi* but I agree it's a glorified rice fest. Most of the people who compete in it (from a racers perspective or REAL enthusiasts perspective) have a pile of crap between their ears that somehow trick the body into thinking it's a brain. One of the great wonders of the world, scientists still cant even describe how it happens

But yeah, 30Gs for a ride in gumball? Take that cash and go enter into Grand-AM for a season, race against some of the best competition in the U.S. oh wait, that requires skill. Nevermind.

I used to be way into this rally but after I really realized what it is, I completely lost interest.

If this was one of my "life goals" I dunno, I'd seriously re-evaluate what I want in life. Set your sights higher than this bullllllllll.

Don't think you'll be seeing any purists in the gumball 3000.......I guess it's good to have goals though.

^ no, they are all a bunch of rich idiots that think they can drive.

97talon · 24 Apr 2008, 07:21 pm

I think that's what he was saying...

drift-unit · 24 Apr 2008, 08:17 pm

moral of the story is we'd all do it
and just go along with em and sneak into the parties
i guarantee it's been done before

chevy2nova · 24 Apr 2008, 09:03 pm

^agree, i would follow them around and then go to all their parties, if i had the money to spend on actuall joining the race, i would have spent it on my car before i could put it into the race

TacomaSR5Dave · 25 Apr 2008, 07:30 am

I'd do it once I have enough money. My roommates brother is like an oil company exec or something, so we're hoping for a little endorsement or something when we get out of college. We already have it planned out, we're going to run a Volvette, keep it low profile and wicked fast. I've talked to Mr. Roy a bit on this subject and the name of the game is attract the least amount of attention to yourself as possible.

American Psycho · 25 Apr 2008, 01:34 pm

I still wouldn't do it, could careless about being social

NaILed it in the head.

But again, the winner gets a night in the playboy mansion, doesnt he?

GTIKEN · 27 Apr 2008, 02:10 pm

Aha yeah, that would be hard to pass up.

Endorsement for the Gumball 3000? Man put me in contact with those people so I can run a racing series where they will see RETURNS on their investment.
