If you haven't already heard, there's a little road rally going on called the Gumball 3000. It pits attention-starved D-list celebrities against wanna-be D-list celebrities in a "race" across the country.
Strangely, despite endless weeks of promotion, a largely predetermined route, and exotic cars wrapped to look like LeMans prototypes, some of the competitors were actually caught speeding through the Southwestern desert according to Autoblog.
Thankfully, not all Gumballers are so blissfully unaware of their fame. These guys fully intend to "obey the laws" so as not to attract any undue attention. What could go wrong?

couplajackasses....in cartoon hats. These two tools will be washed up in a few years - no worries, our new society/social system will carry them along. I had plans for that money, that's okay, I'll turn it over to the all knowing/all providing for their benefit. In the meantime, have fun fellas....no worries.

So lets just say that the person they are talking about is the owner of the Veyron that was being pulled on a flat bed. so with that said I am pretty sure he wont be going to jail if he can afford a million plus dollar car. "oh jail well here is fifty thousand dollars. have a good day"

Since the Gumball was an offshoot of the original Cannonball in the 70s (and both were subsequently made into celebrity-laden movies), it's fitting we tip our hats to the departed Captain Chaos, Dom DeLuise.
