It looks like Team Lotus has a damn good idea for next episode.

They so need a subie in season 2!!! A Sube would of KILLED on that dirt road last night.

And that's what I was just saying that makes it so hilarious. The fact that he tattled on the Lotus moved it way down in the rankings. That meant he had to face him in a challenge... and had to push too hard to try to beat the Lotus, which he should have known he couldn't do. He pushed too hard and smashed the total living **** out of that stupid truck. Smashed truck = hilarious.

Yeah, he plowed that wall hard. Would of been interesting to see the Lotus do that.

I thought the Challenge last night looked like fun.

But its a RACE!!! He was just pissed that his F150 wouldnt hang with the Lotus and Honda, well not without running out of fuel. Rule #1 dont bring a truck to cross country race, anybody ever seen an F150 in the Gumball?

I agree with you, being the best handling car on the show the Lotus should dominate challenges. But they did lose to the Charger in the box falling of the truck challenge.

I still say a mildly modified STi or (dare I say) Evo would dominate, great gas mileage, excellent handling, and good acceleration.

No... but I've seen plenty of SUVs.

They did? I thought they had the most dodged of anybody.

I miss the mexicans in the Chevy. I would love to see the Trans Am out. They are the worst of the bunch. You guys keep talking about how the F150 team snitched out the Honda and the Lotus, but the T/A snitched the F150 team to the other two. It was funny as hell watching the father try to drift into the plate of glass and miss twice.

No, at the end Goldberg even congratulated Team Charger for out performing the Lotus. The Charger team dodged like 39 and Team Lotus dodged 25 or something.

BTW anyone else notice that everytime they have an in car shot going, no one ever has a radio going? If they aren't allowed to have a radio during the entire thing I can see why everyone is on edge with each other.

Yeah I noticed. You see the drivers nod off every once in a while. Since the in-car footage is used so little as opposed to the chase car I don't see why they can't have the radio on just as long as it's not blasting.

Shoulda told Brock Yates that when he brought an ambulance to the First Cannonball Run. Yes, the movie is based (loosely

) in reality.

If they have chase cars and all this filming going on, how do they speed without getting caught?

Sideshowbob · 05-01-2007, 11:20 PM

ROFL @ the lotus strategy of sandbagging and trying to take someone out.

chkltcow · 05-01-2007, 11:22 PM

Backpressure? Who the hell needs that?

delongedoug · 05-01-2007, 11:23 PM

i LOVE this show. it's intense the entire time for me. i ser hope the lotus wins, but ads made it look sketchy...

Sideshowbob · 05-01-2007, 11:25 PM

Yeah I am thinking this is gonna backfire.

Sideshowbob · 05-01-2007, 11:29 PM

this course obviously favors the Lotus

It's a race car, what track would favor the F-150/other tanks? Unless it was 1/4 mile with 4 concrete walls to plow through

I personally think they were gonna sandbag more than 25mins. Getting lost and going the wrong direction and backtracking can cost that easy. If you're gonna do it, I'd do it all out.

delongedoug · 05-01-2007, 11:59 PM

goddammit

Sideshowbob · 05-01-2007, 11:59 PM

Yeah, you proved correct. Wow did they **** up bad.

chkltcow · 05-02-2007, 12:00 AM

So what was with the little police "power trip"? They go up there with their little condescending attitude... talk down to the guys.... then say "Well of course we can't write you up on an allegation." So.. umm... since it's an allegation, how about you not act like dicks when you approach the car?

I wish it had been the F-150 team going out instead.... oh well.

I'm betting the cop part was for the "drama" of the show...of course the Olds would be the car to get stopped...

Good strategery, too bad they fubared the 2nd leg...
