oh please! it does not encourage kids. kids dont have enough gas money these days to go to school and back, let alone cross country in a race car loaded with expenisive electronics and two professional drivers

illegal doesnt always equal stupid

you can disagree as much as you want, but the fact is that they are professional drivers and they pulled of a dangerous road trip

ok I'm really done this time lol

It encourages them to do illegal activities...

What does it equal then? Cool?

O rly? How are they professional? Being professional also doesn't put you above the law.

ok I'm really done this time lol

I hope so.

I wonder if they could've made that car a little more conspicuous.

I hope so.

In this case, yes, it does equal cool. Sorry you dont feel the same way.

They are pro in that they have all the right equipment, planing, and knowhow of how to pull off such a feat! If it had been some teens in their civic si swearving around the highway, then yea you can call that stupid and unprofessional. But two guys in their 30's driving a REAL car, with real driving experience(gumball), and real equipment and guidance...that my friend is Professional. So they broke some laws, but at least they were smart enough to wait a year before telling their story. Somebody unprofessional wouldnt have been able to do that. Never said they were above the law either...dont put words in my mouth. If you actually read the entire article or the book that they wrote, you'll know that they didnt tailgate a single time or swerve around traffic. And for the most part they were only going 100mph...which isnt that insane really.

and as far as encouraging stupid kids, I still dont think it will encourage them to break this record or even attempt it. It simply takes to much time and effort. Yea those dumb kids might race on the freeway, but they wouldve been doing that anyways had they heard of this or not. the only people that might try this again will be another set of professionals.

They didn't have a sticker on it that said "Illegal Cross Country Road Racer."

I'm sorry, I could never consider this 'cool'. It is remarkably irresponsible! It's a bad example. I hope families sue this person when their kid decides to go cross country swerving and kills themselves.

Oh hell where do I start?

By your definitions if I had a really sweet barrel and I went over the falls in it, i'd be a pro. Cause hey, my barrels got TITANIUM STRAPS YO! But going over the falls with the best equipment is still pretty stupid. But not nearly as stupid as risking the lives of others on public roads in the name of breaking a record!

Of course it doesn't encourage kids to break the record but now they think it's cool to speed as long as you don't get caught, great freakin lesson eh?

lolololol done?

Oh that reminds me. I did a sick burnout in the school parking lot yesterday. Then I shot gravel all over the principal's car, and then I ran over a octagenarian.

Is the octagenarian in a "better world" as we speak?

[my porsche]

He better be, I just shoved him to the side of the road and booked.

sorry but I just have to say that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I hate parents that can't accept that their kids are idiots and are influenced so heavily to do such a dumb thing, and then can't take the responsibility for their offspring. That in my opinion is the American way (blaming everyone else for something that isn't their fault)

he is one of those gumball idiots
