On my way to work today I saw a BMW with a wierd paint job. It sort of looked like a police car, but with a lot of stickers on it and with a black matte paint scheme. It was pretty ugly, but the tuned exhaust sounded ferocious. It had a GUMBALL3000 logo on it. This was unusual. That's a very specific kind of car rally, usually with the most extreme vehicles in the world driven by a collection of spoiled rich folk reeking of B.O. and cigarettes. I didn't think anything of it until I was in the office and heard the wailing exhaust of exotic motors echoing up and down the street. One look out the window and I had to run downstairs. Veyrons, McLarens, Morgans, GT3s eveywhere. I didn't have my cell phone! Oh noes! I had to run back. By the time to got back most of them were gone. I managed to get a few of the stragglers though.
This is a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Roughly $400,000 worth of carbon fiber and unicorn teeth.
This is the front end of said car, held together with duct tape.
Here is the downmarket version of the car above, the Gallardo. It's got a sweet chrome paint job.
This is the owner of the classy Chrome Lambo. He's dressed for an oil drill opening. That's a Ferrai 430? I think?
Here's a convertible version of the chrome Lamborghini.
And I believe this is a Ferrari 599...
For some sad reason, I was the only person at work who found this interesting. Oh well. It made my day.Check out the Gumball3000 webpage for details of these people and what they are doing.
