Anyone on here go on the rally this year?

(this is the rally I want to do more than any of them)

 

Looks like a good time, although, i don't think i would be able to keep up with my lowly es300 haha

 

I hear that it costs 120k register fee to participate in this Gumball. Not sure what % correct on this. But it from a online news paper. Anyone else heard something similar to that price?

 

it's around that much. It changes a little bit year to year depending on various factors. Then you spend even more money when you party it up, buy gas and snacks, etc.

This is why you do it with friends so nobody pays the whole damn thing lol.

 

I wonder if they would let 12-24 people enter under one name...

Group buy anyone?

 

Its usually loaded with rich celebrities and business moguls. I have some DVD's of previous runs and looks like fun, but I think after a week of "rallying" I would be tired and in need of getting my car to a body shop to repair the massive road damage to the front of the car from following exotics cars at ungodly speed. I have seen videos where the front end of collectible Ferraris were chipped to the base of the bumper with no paint left at all.

 

I used to think it was cool, Until what happen in 2007, i change my opinion about it. Just a bunch of ppl doing stupid and crazy and illegal and dangerous stuff.

 

none of those people care though.

all those people who take enzo's and lambos, none of them care what happens to the car.

if you have $100k just to sign up, then you obviously dont care about paint chips.

most of the cars you see on ebay after the rally.
