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.
this year is crazy! socalled "8 days around the world"
europe > asia > usa!!

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.

Hmmm, $65,000 for the ability to drive fast with a bunch of trust fund babies and hang out at sausage party??? Really tough decision.... Really can't think of a better way to spend my money....I think its very overrated. I did it two years but was a little dissapointed.

It sounds like fun. I'd rather pay $2,500 and race against the fastest drivers in the fastest cars during the Cannonball One Lap of America.

I want to add one more thing. They really do not turn anyone away. They play it like its very exclusive but anyone who is willing to pony up the fee they will not turn you away. On top of the fee is very negotiable and several the so called celebrities do not pay a thing. Actually I heard some of them get paid to make appearences. I think I paid about 12k for me and my co driver and the advertised fee was much higher.Originally Posted by 2QUIK4U
