Default Bull Run: Week 2 03/20/07

Sorry, I didn't post sooner. I was working on the car late Tuesday, and the vid wasn't posted till today so I could watch. It was a really good episode. I am really getting into it. The BMW crew is sneaking up. The T/A team is in the top 3. As for the car that was elimiated, I had hope it would stay on.

Discuss.

yeah i liked the 240. it's too bad they had to get the boot.

the driver was a dipshit though. you could tell he ran something over or something in the motor went pop when the camera shook but he kept on running like nothing happened.

in the previews of the next episode, it looks like the lambo gets a $60k scratch on his bumper.

I've been watching it, but it seems so fake and watered-down compaired to some of the Euro runs I've seen (the ones where cars actualy get going 150mph on the street).

The Gumball rally's which are in Europe are in different countries, different laws, hell whent he Jackass guys ran it in 2001, there were reports of people being pulled over and having their cars stolen, also everyone ran Lambo's and HIGH end stuff.

I like the series. The 240 was one of my favorites. To tell the truth, I like the charger team. The car is so badass, and the team, seems really cool. The BMW team seems like snakes. And that cop needed to catch about 10 bullets in her *** for stopping the honda team.

I def agree with most of it. The whole we were profiled thing due to race is b.s. they see a graffiti'ed up honda. They profiled the veh not the driver. It was a state trooper as there was only one in the car. She was running the info making sure there was nothing wrong with it.

As for the camera on the outside of the car I am sure there is a camera man there, thats gotta be awkward so the trooper is going to take there time.

I'm sorry, but going on a cross country race with your rear liscence plate not attached is just asking for it. Like the cops need another excuse...

True, but I see a TON of cars around MA with plates in the rear window...and front windshield for that matter! Whatever, I don't think anyone is going to get an actual ticket during the run anyways.

The show will probibly pay the fines any way, Just so they can keep it up. And more than likely they probibly will pay a lot of money on the side just to keep the Cops hush hush. just my .02

i too watch the show and agree with what most people said as well..i liked the 240 because of the motor but hated the drivers. what car do you think is going off next?? i think that 57 has to pick up the pace. the all stock mustang and a 57 chevy arent exactly suiting cars for these events. although the charger held its own in the handling course i think mostly due to the drivers. the driver of that lotus sucked

I think guys who are in the lower 1/3 are going to need to start worrying since the gap is widening badly where time bonuses aren't going to matter.

Why is everyone hating on the lambo?! They are the only ones that beat their car senseless! They even got towed and managed to still end up in the middle. I can't hate them, they are playing the game great in my opinion.

I kinda wish the Scion TC girls were still on, just something to look at

i hate the lambo guys because either they are trying to sandbag it and are being retarded about it by beating the **** out of their car and showing that it really isn't broke

or their car really is messed up and they are too stupid to baby it until they have to really get on it in head to head competition

plus they're rich ******* that think they should win just based on the fact that they have the most expensive car
