Is any body gonna watch gumball 3000

I heard this sunday(feb 16) around sunday night around 10:00 or 10:30 on MTV jackass will show the gumball 3000 :devil:, and they will have johnny knoxville in it and some other people driving lamborghinis, ferraris, and porches with some other cars is anybody gonna see it!

By the way did anybody see the special edition of cribs with busta rhymes in it with his chrome wheel murcielago?
-pennyho :flamer: :devil: :finger: :flipa: :bandit: :smoka: :rocket:

MTV Jackass did Gumball last year, but they weren't driving any nice cars (I mean the cast of Jackass). I will probly watch it again this year.

And I did see the Cribs with Busta Rhymes' Murci. It was gorgeous. He named it Peppermint, it was lime green with cream interio and green stictching. The rims were so nice, chrome with lime green lips to match the cars paint. He is a lucky man. Speaking of rappers/singers with very nice cars, Wycleff Jean has a Pagani Zonda.

IF I HAD CABLE I WOULD....IF YOU GO TO CAR VIDEOS AND TO THE THREAD I STARTED THERE'S A WEBSITE WHERE THEY HAVE VIDEOS OF IT....I DOWNLOADED IT AND YOUR RIDING ALONG WITH A GUY IN A RUF TURBO....PRETTY COOL VID

i watched it last year and it was real interesting...they were driving an old school jag..and i remember them going up to a guy with an Aston and they were making fun of him and stuff.it was funny.

I wonder if they will be comming up with documentaries of the present and past Gumball rallies on DVDs in the future.

have you seen the mischief 3000 dvd about the gumball?

recommended viewing to say the least...

www.teckademics.com is the company that made it...

good stuff.

Didnt he name the murci flipmode:bloated: .and how come some super stars had only bentleys and ferraris(which i hate) and hardly any lamborghinis on the other episodes :eek: , i think they should of had lamborghinis instead of ferraris i think lamborghinis look better and they are faster.Also did anybody see Shaq's hummer h2 those had some huge wheels i think they were 35" chrome rims , and his lamborghini diablo roadster.

HEY TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you ever gonna make those videos you promised us a long time ago? You may not know me but is used to surf around here during the summer and winter last year when i was bored and i read a thread u asked if anybody wanted to see any videos. Later you said you were gonna but you had to go to vacation and when you came back you never made them:( can you try to make them because im interested in seeing the videos of your latest murcielago.

The Murci had Flipmode plates on it, but on the Cribs, he introduced it as "Peppermint". Flipmode is his record lable, in case someone didn't know.
35" RIMS??? I think they were 25". 35 inchers do not exist and would not fit on a normal vehicle. Busta also had a nice H2. These guys are so lucky... :mad:

Oh and BTW, did anyone see the Cribs where XZibit went car shopping. He test drove a modified silve Murci. It was retailed at over $300k, around $350k I think...

yup he had the black murcielago at the end he liked it better than the aston martin, ferrari, bentley, and last rolls royce. ANd my b for the H2 it was my mistake-bad memory:( .
but i still happy:alien: :bandit: :finger: :flipa: :finger: :alien2: :bandit: :bloated:

Pennyho - I still plan on making the videos. But now Ive waited so long and anticipation is so high that I cant possibly meet expectations. So I keep waiting for better ideas. Silly.

I'm also waiting for track time.

Sorry for not coming through on my promise in a timely manner. I will do it eventually.

Whats with all the emoticons? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Shaq's wheels on the H2 were 26's very large.


Oh and Xzibit, test drove a titanium colored Murci at the same time he test drove the 360 and "supposedly" drove home with it, he probably did but you never know how much is just set up for tv.

Hmmm talking about Lambos running in Gumball. I have seen several Diablos in the race but yet to see a some rich nut run his Murci yet. :D

Damn!!!!!!!!!!! why did they have to cancel the lamborghini game for PS2 now they are coming up with it for xbox only :mad: , i hate xbox i used to have it but it sucked so i sold it:mad: .does any body know any games besides need for speed hot persuit 2 that is having murcielagos in it:confused: :confused: :confused: .
-pennyho :flamer::bloated: :bandit: :flipa: :smoka::eek2:
:dogpile: :badass:

Damn did any body see the Gumball 3000 on sunday night it wasnt there:confused: ? Also did any body see Missy Elliot's house on wednesday night at 10, cuz i missed it i only saw the 2 white trash houses after, i just wanted to know is Missy Elliot showed her Lamborghini Murcielago?
Here are 2 lambo sites if you wanna see them they got a couple videos of the murcielago and diablo:
http://www.carpassion.com/en/car.php?c=78
http://www.lambolounge.com/Building_Notes/Video/video.htm

I saw her house, its unbelievable! It's actually a 14,000 sq. ft. apartment. She has Lamborghini furniture(couches,and tables)!! She has a F355 shaped bed with a trunk lid that raises up and has a plasma tv. I think her house is probably my favorite out of anyones ever. She has several waterfall type things in her house and one of which spells out MISSY and is set up vertically to the ceiling with water flowing down it. Her cars were a Lime Green Murcielago, Tour de France Blue(i think thats the color it was) 360 Spider and an H2 with 24's. Her Murci had custom green painted wheels that I think are the one thing I hated and think make the car look a little cheap. If you can catch the re-aired episode its a must watch or her house anyway.

And Pennyho, the Enzo has a 6.0L V12 in it, not 3L.

Sorry i thought it said 3 liters on a website, and still that is a waste of money $1300000 for that piece of crap ferrari!i would rather get like 3 different lamborghinis, a h2, a corvette, viper, and a new house.

agreed.

I'm just curious of this, but why do the people that hate Ferrari, hate them. I'd like some honest, factual opinions here. Just curious.

They dont really hate Ferraris. They actually love them. They just aren't comfortable expressing their feelings.

:spit: Of course, Tony, why didn't I think of that?:hehehe:

Hey l love Ferrari's :). I don't exactly agree with Pennyho saying that the Ferrari is crap but I do agree that with the price of the that Ferrari you can get a better deal buying other things (like several Lambos :D).

why do you all say a enzo costs 1.300.000 dollar

it "only" costs about 700000! (in europe)...

Well im not in europe but my parents were born there , but still that price is not even close enough to be worth it for that car, i also think the lights look ugly on the front. Like in 10 years if someone came to my house they would think that i lost all that money for a car, and they would be like you spent $1,300,000 for that!!!! So instead i would have alot of classy nice cars and a bigger house.Also from my opinion i think the lamborghini cars look more attractive than the ferraris, i seem to like my camaro better, just on the looks. But if were talking about engines then look if you bought a murcielago and had $1,000,000 to tune it up for that price the enzo would be smoked so thats why i think the enzo is a rip off. And did any body see a show today (feb 21) around 1 o clock named dash board dreamers, it showed bentlys and lamborghinis and also corvettes?

Also Tony could the murcielago have 2 twin superchargers, since a twin super charger requires 2 air intakes, and the murcielago has 4 would it be able to have 2 twin super chargers:confused: :confused: ? And tony did any hos ever come up to your Lamborghini to ask you if you wanted to get laid?

I dont know about the superchargers. I havn't heard of anyone doing that yet. Someone will try it soon and then we'll read about his 700hp Murcielago. Either that or we'll read about how someone deusched their Lambo trying to supercharge it. Still its an interesting question, I'll ask around.

any hos ever come up to your Lamborghini
Yah, but they couldn't aford my price.

Oh yah.. Back to the Gumball 3000 topic:

I spoke with Julie at the Gumball office. I'm still toying with the idea if this other guy from my work will co-pilot. Anyway I asked her if there were any Murcielagos in last years race. Becuase I hadn't seen any on the videos. She said there were none last year. I asked about this year. She said this year there are six Murcielagos entered other than mine.

How cool would that be seeing six Murcielagos all different colors pass you on the highway at 160 MPH. :bloated:

Wow! That would be great! We'll cheer from the sidelines! Make sure you have some sort of internet connection and post updates and pics here for us little folks :D.

The only thing that worries me is what will be the condition of your poor Murcielago once you push it hard for 3000 miles.

tony if you take part... you´ll need a new front nose, probably new glasses of the head and foglights and the front needs a new paint!
i´ll post a pic of an f50... horrible :(

There is still a chance I'll do it this year but it looks like my co-pilot cant make it. Maybe next year.

why are you ripping on the enzo for it's cost?

there's how many being built?

that's an instant collector...
that's like owning a 1920 bugatti... way overpriced, but hey, you own it...

why not just realize that some people are willing to pay that much for a car?

and the people that own them probably own 2-3 other supercars AT LEAST...

so it's not an issue...

I agree totally flylwsi! There were originally suppose to only be 349 built, but then it was recently chagned to 399. And the fact of the matter is, if someone can sink $670,000(what the original price is suppose to be) then $1,300,000 is nothing. If I had the $$ then I'd have one to not only drive but as a collectors car.

Texas, Fly

I guess its a trade off when choosing to buy a really top end super car like the Enzo or the Mclaren or purchase several other cheaper supercars and have some change left over - nothing wrong in going with either options as long as you can afford it.

Some people are willing to pay top dollar for an Enzo and some think its nuts. For me it simply depends on what that person's obssesion is :). If I was a huge (and very rich) Ferrari fan I'd waste no time going for the Enzo or a F50 (my current fav Ferrari).

Owning a supercar is never a practical thing - its pure passion. :D

I was saying its only a rip off if you had only $1,300,000 and you spent it all on the enzo then you would be totally broke after that, cmon wat kind of chick would want a poor guy with an enzo, but if ure rich like bill gates then fine. I would buy all the super cars i wanted(except for stupid japenese cars), and diffenernt hummers and limos, and by the way tony wat was your offer to those "people" that went up to your car?:confused: so that is my opinion of the enzo just depends if your rich or not.

What about an NSX? or an MR2?

I wouldn't call them supercars... They are nice, but supercars are Lamborghinis and Ferraris etc. Japanese cars are not supercars.

well the MR2 isn't really a supercar, but I was talking about japanese sports cars in general. (sports cars by design, not by modification)

The thing is that I hate the stupid japenese cars that i always see here in America wow they have 4cyl. every day i go somewhere with my camaro i see those slow crapped up cars like celicas and s2000 and they run soooo damn slow wow 4cyl, and v6 so they make me have to go drive right next to them then go in the front and then i piss em off by usually smoking my tires, and cmon the s2000 has like 230 or 240 hp with v6 for more than $40,000 wat kind of sport car is that my camaro can smoke that sooo badly. So those are the reasons why i despise jap. cars, the only reasons why they are here is because they are for cheap jews that dont wanna waste money for gas!:finger: :flipa: :finger: :flipa:

erm...I would say NSX is a supercar. I think they are categorized as supercar by car magazines too. But definitely not MR2.

And also wats up with those subarus that have like 3 NOS tanks and race corvettes because they have no chance cmon 4cyl will definitely lose to v8 with 5.7 liters and if the corvette had 3 NOS Tanks then it would be like a jet vs a turtle. And wats up with those gay ads with the nissan pathfinder it has a picture of that vs a jet plane, and it said "not that you would but you could" could what... lose?

Penny

Japanese or European or American...

You can't argue about tastes. It's something individual.

But seriously American and european car makers are the ones that actually have beyond 4or 6 cyl. sports cars, and japanese car makers just make cars because they expect people to buy them for their cheap prices;) thats the only reason, because they really dont look good and dont have big engines, the only reason is for its price and long life.

by the way tony wat was your offer to those "people" that went up to your car?

Pennyho - Your joking, right?

can we ever tell?

Tony,
I totally agree that people should drive these cars on a regular basis. However are you a little hesitant logging that many miles on your new car. I think you should definitly do it and I am sure it would be an amazing experience. I am still shocked that your fellow employee cannot find the time to drive a murcielago across country with you. Seems like an amazing chance. Good luck if you do go regardless.:frog:

But tony would you waste your money on a japenese sport honda or what ever japenese company that makes only 4 or 6 cyl cmon how sporty is that a you need v8 or bigger for sport excitement!:cool: Dont you agree?
:flash:

not really...
the nsx is a true supercar!!!

... and most supercars have v10 or v12 engines ;)
(of course there are also 8 cylinder engines...)
look at lotus do they need a v8 ... no!

Hmmm whats wrong with japanese sports cars.......they are a reasonably priced sports cars that many people can afford unlike lambo, ferrari etc, not everyone is well off and i disagree that you need v10/v12 as a modded supra could wipe the floor with a ferrari 355 and costs less than 1/4 of the price including all the mods....you obviously haven't experienced the feel of a sports car or a luxury one for that matter. if you have watched the 'the fast and the furious' the ferrari/supra race in that is balls, if you have been to a real drag racing event you would notice there are hardly any ferraris there, not because there arent as many, its because if you pay £100,000+ for your car you wont want to get beaten by a £20,000 supra....sorry if i have gone into one but what you say is NOT true...it may be different though as i live the UK and its hard to find any decent cars here cause the insurance costs a bomb...i have only seen one murcielago here and it is an awesome sight, the most common cars we get here are clamped out old european cars......

just because it isn't insanely fast doesn't mean its a shitty car.

lmao......an au supremo supra would wipe the floor with a corvette....you've probably only seen your own corvette and raced people with old sedans and what you said about wasting your money on a honda.... japanese cars are practical ones.... you couldnt drive the murcielago everyday unless you are rolling in it..you cant get a japanese production car for more than £60,000 anyway

I thought we got past all this east v west crap. Japanese cars are amazingly fast can be tuned fiercely and put out impressive figures (as do the american) and ....and can also go round corners without the driver needing to take a rest every few secs to rest his arms from trying to keep the twitchy tail flying out from all the oversteer.

American cars are fast? yes, american cars look good? well imho most cars in the us look like mince but that's just my opinion, ok the Z06 is pretty smart and the Viper has the mean aggressive bas look down cold but can they go round corners effectively? no.

American cars are great for america, long straight roads, not many turns but for elsewhere they need to actually use the steering wheel. Don't take this as a flame as I have been to many a forum and the same argument happens all the time, you get some proud as punch yank and they start flaming jap cars and saying usa!! usa!! usa is best, it get's tired so let's stop it before it starts!!

Please.

no offence is meant via this

OK pretty much i was just trying to say in my opinion that if i would be rich i would have so many cars except i wouldnt like to see and japenese cars especially cause they dont look good <to me> and they have like no heritage cmon 20 years and they covette is already 50 years old 2 and a half times more than those jap companies, so i was just saying if i were rich i just wouldnt want 1 in my garage , its my opinion my garage i just dont like em!:frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog:

and when i was saying that subaru thing i meant that a non upgraded one vs an non upgraded Z06 see the Z06 would win!

yea ok and the price of a subaru compared to the zo6 hmmm let me see....the handling of corvette (monkeys ass) handling of an impreza (outstanding)

ok


come back to the real topic plz

don´t want to here anymore something (negative) about japanese cars.

plz keep in mind that this is a murcielago forum


thanks
:flash:

One last question menu would you rather have a subaru or a corvette z06?:monkeypis:dogpile:

Sorry Menu for one more off topic comment:

I just read an article on the plane today in a magazine I bought at the airport. I cant remember the name but I think it was one of the popular car mags. Anyway in this article the author drove a Z06, a 911 and an NSX. He greatly preferred the NSX over the other two. Which shows that some people still have great enthusiasm for the NSX.

Out of the z06 and NSX in Gran Turismo 3, i prefer the NSX. The sound of its v6 is just crazy

well pennyho you compare 2 totally different types of cars.
one rally car (you probably mean the impreza wrx sti)
and the cruiser vette.
none of them is a real supercar.
of course both are sporty but i´m not which i would choose.
the gas prices here in germany are so high (about 1.35$ per litre!!!)
that i probably would go for the "subaru" but of course i like the corvette it´s a real nice car that has been improved much in the past years.

but i´m more a fan of german cars... more luxus and comfort...
or the total other site the real supercars of Ferrari and Lamborghini.


@ tony
yea that sounds like a nice test.
in june we will have the 24 hours on the nurburgring.
we have a mag in germany called "sport auto"... they test supercars like top gear in england and they are building up and NSX for the 24 hours.
of course they will have no chance against the m3 gtr from the ALMS series or abput 700 hp viper. but i think they will reach a good position under the first 10!
on the nurburgring a good knowledge of the track is important.
second important is the under carriage
and 3. is the power.
if i know the track perfect and would drive a m3 i would easyily beat someone in a mclaren or any ferrari...


well enjoy your sunday!

greets

Marius
