I heard the Four Seasons? It may or may not be true. Either way, I'm going to try and get in, haha.

this, i believe, is their route.  I was really hoping for I-89 but i still was thinking of driving to 93 and posting up in the mountains somewhere to watch fast cars drive by, but it seems like a lot of work

never mind. it's quebec city. it will most likely be 93 to 91. i almost hit a dear on 91 once. Is there any way to find driver progess so if i choose a point to chill from there it won't be a lost cause or we waiting countless hours.

So this video is basically a lot of me and my friends fucking around, and I suck at filming so whatever.

But, there are sick cars in it, so it's well worth the watch

That was sick, thanks for posting the video. Xibit looked pissed. Also, do you know if the Bugatti belonged to anyone well known, as opposed to just some rich dude? and one more thing, did you notice what kind of car Tony Hawk rolled up in?

Xzibit was so pissed, hahaha. I have more video of him flipping out, but you can hardly hear him. It's even more quiet than that clip I put in.

We actually talked to the guy who owned the Bugatti, and he was SUCH a nice guy. Seemed to be a random rich dude, and definitely not his first time in the Gumball. He talked to us for a while and let some kids sit in his car (the last clip was one of the kids).

And, we didn't see Tony Hawk at all. A lot of the drivers went straight to the hotel instead of going to that parking lot, and we only got to see a few of the cars at the hotel. I would say we saw about 50% of the cars in the rally.
