Can't help but picture this....
Ricebowl 3000, sponsored by Uncle Ben's, and Boeing.
Contingency prizes for largest wing, wheel lights, and the most blatant use of the color yellow without painting your entire car yellow.
Civic Dx's get a 2 day head start, and all car's are handicapped by Chrome to horsepower ratio.
That would be rather humorous! Who's gonna whip up the full color poster?

How do they keep themselves from gettin' thrown in jail when the DO get caught??? Something tells me that if I got nabbed doing 120 on 495 I'd have the business end of a glock in my face, and a couple fancy new bracelets.
Notice the cop snapping a picture with a camera (next to the convertible)? Sweet vid!! Gotta show that around!

To clarify an OC3:
'OC' does stand for optical carrier. The '3' means that it is equal to 3 DS3s. So an OC3 is equal to 3 x DS3 (45mb), or 3x45mb=135mb. A DS3 is equal to 28 T1s (1.544mb), or 672 56k (DS0) circuits. Another way to think about it: say the average dialup is 28.8kbps, a DS3 equals 1444 dialup connections and an OC3 is 3 times that (4332).

Hmmm...  Never dropped below 370KB/sec... Of course... I'm limited to the b/w throttle of our firewall :rolleyes: . I could go downstairs and plug in a probably pull as fast as his OC3 (if he ACTUALLY has a FULL OC3 ) could send it. {sigh} I love working for a regional telco/ISP  Thanks for the info on the audio track... that is slick!

I found a gumball 3000 forum that had some interesting info... A bunch got pulled over, duh. A few got large tickets - the highest I read was $5000! After a 176 mph run in a red Z06, one guy ended up with a 10 police car road block and a shotgun pointed in his face! Some got locked up and at least one of them is trying to get out of some jail time. The guys in the F50 would just throw cash out of the car to get out of trouble. Link here You got cars, speed, cops, danger, girls (Kyle Minogue was a participent, drool), etc. Sounds like it's time for a new Cannonball Run/Gumball Rally movie!
