some of you may have noticed in the events section the mentioning of the Gumball 3000. For those that do not know, the Gumball is a charity fundraiser in the forum of a LA to Miami rally with about 120 participants this year, cost of entry is just under 50k. Being a charity event several law enforcement agencies over look some of the driving habits, close some roads, and give escorts. Cars in it this year include such beasts as Bugatti Veyrons, various Lambos and Ferraris, Bentleys, anything high dollar pretty much. How it works is it's a 6-7 day rally each stop is in a nice hotel and has a wild party.
