what is the most you are willing to pay for a multi day road rally?

SURVEY-

The recent popularity of multi-day road rallies such as the Gumball3000, Bullrun, and Cannonball Run has made me wanting to enter one of them. From what I’ve seen and read in magazines and from what I’ve heard from friends who have gone it’s the most crazy, exciting, and over-the-top experience every car enthusiasts must participate in. I would like to live like a Rockstar, party at exclusive clubs, stay at luxurious hotels every night, drive crazy on the open highways, and hookup with hot chicks every night for an entire week. However, the $60K (Gumball3000), $16K (Bullrun), and $10K (Cannonball Run) entry fees (for a team of 2 people) are cost prohibitive for me (and for most of us regular Joes) to participate in such events.

Considering your current financial situation, what is the most you are willing and able to pay to participate in such events and experience the Rockstar/Baller lifestyle?

I agree. You should have included a figure less than $4000 as an option too, or a nothing. What did you do, vote twice?

Don't know where I got it, but I have the sneaking suspicion that precisely none of those packages will provide for you to hook up with anything or live like a rockstar for that week.
