Gumball is here again, America's favorite (il)legal rally is here this week. Starts Santa Monica pier at 1 p.m. and with proceed to Miami. Any of you who will be along their route I suggest to try and get out to see it go by. Hopefully next year I should have the entry fee wrapped up, but could always go for a little more sponsors (Club Armada are you listening). Just kidding but hey their is room for 6 more if interested in the good old Mada.

Going that route would be alomost a 3-day drive for me in the Armada with my wife and kids along. It'll be interesting to see how many people run it in 1.5 day or less. It should be pretty easy to run that trip in 40 hrs no matter what they're driving.

Here's a little video, and yes Club Armada/QX56 represent, watch about the first minute and you'll see a familiar truck looking like a Puma sneaker.:D Go Gumball Team 50!

OKAY, the race used to be and is supposed to sill be "Illegal", but why are the cops blocking traffic? :D

Yeah, the Armada?QX56is well represented there! Looks like the race is well sponsored too! I bet the Donked LeSabre doesn't make it past Arizona!

I was shocked when I saw that car too. The car is called "Frogger" very fitting with a frog sounding horn, gotta suck on long distance driving.

These cars rolled in through the Extreme Autofest show in Anaheim, CA where I was showing my car... so cool to see the amazing array of vehicles participating in this.

Check out this Rolls Royce with a license plate from the United Arab Emirates, and the number on the plate... 1. :eek:

How did I miss this thread? Guess I should venture out of the QX sub-forum more often.
