BillZ260 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have way to much respect for the machines to laugh when they're hurting and abused. From the OIL -n- Water Don't mix Post I couldn't agree more! Last weekend I rented this "IMPORT RACING" video for $1 at the local hollywood vid just to see some cool cars and maybe get an insight to whatever the hell the imports sceen is all about. This video was mostly a group of 4-6 guys in there early to mid 20's and their very big dollar cars. They all entered the cannonball in UK and sort of document the race. One guy had a GT2 w/550 hp and another had an M3 that they totally rebuild for this race only to have it held in customs. That part was funny So instead of the M3 they rent a Mondeo and thrash it eventually siezing the engine, I guess they got the insurance? Alot of the footage was cool like all the cars and being able to participate in a cannonball, but some of it was disturbing. The did things like buying two NICE jags just to have a mini demoition derby in them and the guy with the camera was screaming like a GIRL the whole time. And there was some other footage of them blazing throuugh mall parking lots in their H2 going over shrubs and stuff. I didn't really get it, and I would like to know where they get all their $$? I think it was Techademics or something like that. Maybe I am getting old but, sheesh, but I'm not even 30 yet! I remember being a teenager, and MY first car did not receive very much respect, but after awhile and spending all that jack it would seem that these guy's would grow up a bit?

2many280s Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I saw that on pay per view (I get em for free, so I didn't feel too ripped off =) But feel the same way. Some parts of it were cool, and of course the cars were all pretty cool, but stuff like cutting across the grass in a corner in a GT2 is just disgusting. I do have to say though, that the battle of the rentals was pretty funny =) Just wish they would have had footage of the rental place when they brought them back.
