I was at that movie premier! That was a good time. Its like in high school, you tell people the rules, and some follow. Like he said, I did not kill anyone. There are so many rallies now. Gumball just gets exposure.

Cayenna KSA - I will try to get you some stickers

Thanks for the support everyone else.

 

I do not think you should cast judgement about my sensitivity for loved ones on open forum when you do not even know me - implied or otherwise. I also think you should not swear at me in open forum (implied or otherwise) - because it really undermines, in my eyes, your point.

Moreover, I do not really know how I would react since it has never happened to me - hence my vague statement. In addition, what your stating is very similar to stating that "if a loved one gets killed by a car - then then I would be furious at all cars". You have to realize - a car - on a road rally or not - is the responsibility of the operator - not the event itself. Would I be extremely angry at the operator - absolutely. Probably the event too - and probably cars in general.

Regarding the comments about the doughnuts - I hope thats what police are for since that can occur anywhere - not just the gumball - and again down to the operator.

Yes - I like road rallies (unfortunately never been on one) - leave it at that. But, I do value your input - its just different from mine - which is okay.

End.

 

can you get me some too ?. and any bullrun ones if you have them ?. thanks.

 

ray why don't you make the haul and run it. Drop me a line tomorrow.

 

While I see what you're hinting at, your argument is not a complete one. It is just a repetition of the same premise 3 times, under the assumption that the premise is true. First of all the premise is absurd, because it assumes that just because a family member of yours isn't killed, that you would not only condone, but promote, and help others promote an event? So, PT Barnum and Bailey Rolls into town and they are performing their new hit stage show "Can your daughter's head fit into this lion's mouth?" And you realize that you're not really sure you can answer that question with 100 % certainty so you offer her up to have her head chewed on, and she comes out of it alive. If she were killed, you wouldn't promote the event, but since she wasn't, you start telling all your friends to put their daughters' heads in right? Of course not. <O</O


i understand what youre saying though...agree to disagree..

 

ahah maybe we bumped into each other!

 

Awesome always wanted to do this!

Andy Wheeler

 

good point. Yes. agree to disagree. No harm done. I did repeat myself 3 times - just realized. was worded differently though at least :-)

 

I don't really have a dog in this fight but Gumball has always struck me as being an event for the generally lame and overly tanned. Sort of akin to a mobile version of Cipriani Downtown.

 

We have gotten tons of submissions to be display cars. Thanks guys!!!

Please come out and check out the vehicles at the stops. I would love to shake hands with some of you too.

 

Thanks for the emails guys. I cant wait to meet some of you! Please make sure to come out and say hi regardless. I have forwarded all entries to Gumball.

Got it thanks!!!

 

Happy customers are much less likely to post than unhappy ones. It's fact of life. Try calling the better business bureau and find a company that has more praises than complaints. They don't exist.

Get off your high horse craig. There is no question that Dan and Vivid are reputable.

 

Thank you. Now can we get back to the excitement! If you are available and in town when Gumball stops at each one these stops in SF, LA, SD, LV... Please come say hi. Would love to put names with faces.
