Bad Times at the Gumball 3000

As the owner of one of a Gumball-esque car, and frequenter of rally and drive events, I can say that this really sucks.  The folks who go on these events never want to see anyone get hurt, but it doesn't always ensure that they act accordingly.

So now two folks that were just out, most likely trying to make ends meet while cruising around in their red VW have died.  Yeah, no one is speeding right Maxamillion?  Not to mention that they waited for over a day to release a forthcoming statement.  What a mess.

Drive safe, and more importantly, man up and don't leave the scene when you dump your car into some poor hump's Golf.

In the previous years these kind of accidents have happened, but also some smaller incidents when the extravagant starts have been chasing with the police, when they have run away from local gangs, and beat with the peasants because of the damaged fields.

Gumball's 3,000 miles of motoring madness

The Gumball 3000 has been dubbed the "world’s maddest, fastest and most eccentric" car rally.

A matter of time: One killed, one injured, Gumball cancelled

This year's edition of The Gumball 3000 is no more, after a hit-and-run accident in Macedonia left a man dead and his wife in the hospital in critical condition. Nick Morley (who was driving) and Matthew McConville, in a Techart 911 Turbo, crossed the center line and crashed into a Macedonian couple in a VW Golf. [Picture of the crash scene]
