thats sounds like a blast but that dude also sounds like a fucking ego maniac

Isn't he one of Max's close friends? (Gumball 3000)

Who builds a car to drive above the speed limit coast-to-coast, and then (to quote Brock Yates about his own 1st Cannonball-winner bright blue Ferrari) "clevered disguised as a race car", puts stickers all over it?

was wandering the same thing...

wow, I just read the entire article.... the only thing worth reading are pages 5 & 6.

I would think it would have been better it do in a black crown vic, that way other people on the road think your a cop and not call you in.

Sweet article, but a black crown vic would have definitely been better.

I think the picture your referring to with all of the stickers is from one of his previous attempts. 32hours7minutes.com you can see that car is clean of stickers.

it was only stickered up for the gumball rally. Watch this video, and it shows the car sans stickers and with all the amazing modifications done.

I don't see how anyone looks at this as a positive accomplishment.

If one of the less-popular guys on this forum told us he made it from point A to point B in a certain city in a certain time, doing 100+ through traffic, he would be attacked by everyone here for being a danger to society, an idiot, blah blah blah.

I see no difference.

Not saying I didn't think, "damn, what an accomplishment", when I first read it, but thinking about it, it sounds like a danger to thousands of people. If he would have killed somebody, would it still be cool? No, people would have said he's an idiot then.

thats pretty true. i think theres a romance with outlaw driving though. like it stated in that article. i think of doing shit like this all the time. dangers are pretty clear though

[dvs909]

sounds like hes not your typical teenager in a ricer speeding around either.
they had a system, spotters and copilot, as well as qualified drivers. im not sayin that a tire couldnt blow, or somone else merges into them, but they certainly took precautions.

its not like he was doing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv6e4TJQsEc
