just wondering if anyone else knew about these krazy mother fuckers, i want to go i want to go i want to go......

 

YEah I know about them. I saw a few clips from their last one. I just cant believe they rag on those ferraris like they are a toy....

 

oh ok guys funny story. last year i did my internship for my school at www.aidesign.com which is a really really really high end tuning shop, and customization ship. i go back every now and then to stay in touch and today i went and visited my other friend whos doing an internship this year. there was a deep blue m5 with gumball 3000 stickers ALL over it, and they said something about it winning one year. ill check up on it

 

"Team 144 German Police BMW M5 - Winners of the 2003 Gumball Spirit Award!!"

it had 144 written ont eh top of the car too

 

for those that dont know, the gumball 3000 is the european take on the Cannonball which is teh american cross country version, which has equally impressive cars.

for a closer look, Jackass did an episode where they went ont eh gumball 3000 in cars (a jag and something else). It was an hour long special episode

 

I passed up a chance to do it in a 996 TT last year

 

For those that don't know, it's not a european thing. The first one was there, the last 2 were hear, this years is there and then back hear again. players run is another similiar event that is only in the US

 

Why?:o

 

the players run is good also. i have the tekademics videos of the last players run. that shit is just too funny and nutz. nothing like seein a ferrari f50 pulled over by 4 cruisers and an SS interceptor with is hood and trunk opened. why do they always make them pop everythign open. the lambo even had both door up.. they lookin for more tickets or just want to see some bad ass engineering?

 

CLpower knows hes as much dead weight as ten spare tires.

 

didn't have 6K to take along

 

:P

Unless I had Bill Gate's $$ I would NOT participate in it.

 

i love vids of this stuff, vxcl can you post yours? thansk siggy

 

its a dvd by tekademics. its called mischief destroy. u can find it in stores like best buy. theres alot of other stuff on there too that is amusing. all car stuff. no stupid ricer stuff

 

What about the Silver State Challenge? Anybody heard of it? Drive as fast as you can for 90 miles in Las Vegas legally and doesn't cost 6k.

 

Unbelievable

 

I have all of the video's of it, plus the jackass euro version, i heard it was $12,000.00 per person to sign up

 

i was signed up for the gumball race last year but ended up having to back out due to other obligations, would have been a blast. the 6k is the least of your problems, youll have double that in court fees and lawyers by the time the trip is over and its extremely hard on your car. tons of paint chips etc, i talked to a couple guys who have done it and they had to repaint their front bumpers

 

insane

 

sounds like fun but you have to have $20 to just throw away

 

20 dollars.......count me in
