    Default Gumball 3000

    I don't agree with what they do speeding like crazy across America on public streets, but there will be some amazing cars. The Gumball 3000 rally will be in Dallas tomorrow Tuesday May 5th at the W Hotel in downtown Dallas. For those of you that know, I don't need to explain why you would want to go to this, but for those of you that don't, here's a link: www.gumball3000.com

    There's not one in any of the pics with two chicks. If your referring to the Ferrari, look again. Its a right hand drive and the person driving is a guy. Plus the girl in that car was fugly as hell. She probably wieghts 75 lbs wet. There were much hotter women standing around admiring the cars with their bf's then girls that got out of the cars.

    Here are some better pics of the Gumball "racers"



    Several cars impounded, Gumballers arrested for speeding at 170 mph

    We definitely saw this coming. We've been receiving some unconfirmed reports that several of the participants on this year's Gumball 3000 rally had their cars impounded, and the video after the jump is the first visual evidence we've seen. Apparently several of the Gumballers were driving well in excess of the posted speed limit, as high as 170 mph, resulting in three impounded cars, including a Bugatti Veyron, and the drivers going to jail. Follow the jump to hear the MonsterArmy team talk (NSFW) about the impounded cars and to see footage of the Bugatti Veyron getting loaded up onto the flatbed. Thanks for the tip, Brandon!

    With any luck the cars will be confiscated and the idiots will be walking home after they pay a heavy fine.

    Depending on the severity of the charges the cars may be impounded and only available by police auction. Some police depts. keep vehicles for their own use. Imagine a marked Veyron with strobes and a light bar.
