Exotic Car Rally!

You have finally made it. It was a lot of hard work, it was making the right choices, probably being at the right place at the right time and, admit it, luck. You did whatever it took to get here, and finally you have arrived, Mr. Bigshot/CEO/President/Money Launderer/Entrepreneur/Thief/Golden Parachute Recipient/Inventor/Genius/Hedge Fund manager/Ponzi Scheme Person/E-list Actor/Blogger/Lottery Winner/Inventor of TopsyTail/etc, etc. You have your multi-million dollar house, paid off of course, boat, vacations, and all the other good stuff. Now, since everyone at the country club has one, you must get an exotic supercar. Yes, so you get the latest and greatest limited edition Italian with a dozen cylinders and stuff you could not possibly explain to anyone, but it doesn’t matter, because YOU have it and they don’t!

So…, now what?

Gumballers Invade Boston

For more than ten years the Gumball 3000 rally has been attracting D-list celebrities and their over-priced cars. This year, for the first time they came to Boston to start off the North American leg of the rally.

.

For some reason the cars were shipped Bangor Maine as opposed to the Logan Airport in Boston and therefore delayed getting here. The arrival preceded late night partying followed by a 9am departure for Canada; these guys are really going to need those energy drinks.

Spotted: BABE Rally “99 Problems but the Babe Ain’t One” Car

At first my thought was that this was some 24 Hours of LeMons reject, but I saw no roll-bar and signs of any real battle damage. Googling the “99 Problems” sticker on the car revealed a video which showed the vehicle being part of the 2009 BABE Rally.

In 2009 a team that called themselves “99 Problems but the Babe Ain’t One” has entered the rally in a Volvo 245. Below is a video of the Swedish monster in action. Judging by the video, the Volvo has seen better days. We don’t know how the 245 went from being a perfectly good wagon to this pseudo pick-up-truck-convertible-sedan thing. As weird as it may look, it appears to be completely road legal as it has lights, windshield, and license plane. … Continue Reading

Snow Run! Off-Roading in Snowy California

My buddy Andy, with whom I went off-roading last year, has moved to California for school. His trip west in the Jeep CJ-8 was quite adventurous, but unfortunately all the pictures from it went missing.

Now that Andy has settled in and got the Scrambler back in the proper working order, he went on an off-road snow run. To us normal people that means driving 4WD vehicles with big tires on what essentially are hiking trails. Below pictures are telling a story; from the meeting point, up through the mountains, until they get caught in a storm. At that point  they concluded that beer and burgers are more fun. Enjoy.
