Hrm. Looks like either route takes them through binghamton, and the front window of my office looks out over Rt 81/17 so i may have to try and watch for them. Not going to go out of my way to do it, but would be neat to see them. ---

I heard on the radio this morning that one got impounded last night. The driver got a warning for going 140, then an hour later got pulled over again going 170 and they impounded the car for 2 weeks. I’m assuming KPH since it was in Ontario.

Anything over 150 they can take your car and crush it for “street racing” regardless if another car is involved. So I hope no one else is stuiped and gets caught. ---

> [@Mike.Mike.](#): > > A jetta lol yea, don’t fuckin do that. A R32 blew by me followed by a gallardo a few inches off its back bumper… then two morons one in a saab and one in a buick chasing them down. The gumball people are pretty easy to spot, see, and hear coming, but I really didn’t expect the douchebag in the buick to be driving that way. I hope they both crashed. ---

ah, ok. Thats reasonable. Yea the skyline and lambo were going who knows how fast at what sounded like over 5k RPMs. It really left the smell of race gas in the air… it was pretty cool until these two morons came weaving out of nowhere trying to run them down. ---

Haha, it’s kind of hilarious to be warning normal drivers on the road to not follow the Gumballers who are driving at unbeliebably warped speeds. I mean, is what they’re doing any better, haha. Don’t get me wrong I love the Gumball, but I mean jesus christ, it’s not like they have a free pass to claim the roads and do whatever they want. That being said, I’d love to do one!
