    So I read yesterday that Gumball actually shut down their forum so they didn't have any press or have to answer any questions about the accident.

    what do you think you get when you put rich ass mother fuckers with no care in the world, fast cars, and their egos together in an event like that. i watched the mischief edition of the gumball on dvd, crazy stuff.
    Everything tastes better on a cracker.

    Man, I guess I'm not that surprised to see someone get injured since it would happen sooner or later. Hopefully, they will keep the Gumball Rally alive.

    Oh my God, Ya know I have one of the old ones from a friend of mine. Its cool to watch and all. But people take things way to seriously when they are on the street. I mean they should be doing like One lap of America. They should drive to different locations and then race at race tracks. Not going over a double yellow and killing innocent people. Just damn shame.
