no way...done two gumballs before but the entry price this year is astronomical. And the amount of driving in relation to the amount of travel during the rally (plane trips) makes it so you're covering so much ground in so little time that you can't even enjoy the experience.

We are doing the US leg. I did the 03 and 04 gumball, this year should be fun. If anyone else is doing it would be great to meet some MB guys.

I think its very overrated. I did it two years but was a little dissapointed. They hype it up like there will be all these chicks and its mostly a sausage party. You meet some cool people but imo not worth the price of admission.
