I had to do some filming for some of the hot boy rallies throughout the years - and I officially stopped about four years ago. It honestly just comes across sad the level these people would go just to impress or one up each other on or off the street. Constantly crossing double yellows, passing on shoulders, drinking and driving the next morning, spending thousands at parties just to brag about it to their friends etc. James was right - 90% of the time it's just selfish as hell and I'm glad I didn't fit in.
Wow, I read the comment and then the name. You're doing awesome man and I'm jealous of your mustang tbh. Also, you would think there would be some class in the rally.
in Finland we have a thing called the "Gumball 500" where you have 500 euros to buy a car and fix it etc, and then do a roadtrip across finland with other participants.
I was photographer for one of their parties when they were in Riga. It was wild and I got to talk with quite a few participants and organizers. The difference between showoffs and OG gumballers was noticeable. Had few words with elderly and super polite german couple and even they addressed showy kids as "not real gumballers"
I met Max in New Mexico yrs ago and we had a brief 10 min conversation, five years later I met him again and before I could say we've met before he spoke up and said "we've met before" and remembered when, where and my name. Cool guy, I rate him highly.
The Jackass Gumball is one of may favorite specials out there. A few of the jackass boys have done it here and there throughout the year as well. I think Alex Roy might have as well unless it was just cannonball run
On a recent Wild Ride with Steveo he mentioned how he and pontius had a jerk off competition in the car. I went on a few benders since then but im pretty sure the story was about the gumball race haha
I remember once, after they had 'some fun' in Vegas, one of the Murcielago drivers just straghit up bought another murcielago, took the wheels off it and left the rest of the car at the dealer, because he couldn't find somewhere to replace the tyres he just melted....... That was the same year that the worlds fastest speeding ticket was issued to the Koenigsegg doing 242 in a 75 zone. That same Koenigsegg had a full mobile workshop following it along the route as well because it kept breaking itself. Drive shafts, crank cases, and on one occasion emptied it's entire gearbox all over the floor for what seemed like no reason at all!
I hear that the koenigsegg have a lot of engine problems and the realibiltiy is bad I even seen a yellow keonigsegg on youtube break down and pagani zonda having a hard time to start up he said it sounds good but terriable to drive he sold it
All this throwback footage is such a trip. Ive watched all of these as a kid and dreamed of being in the Gumball 3000. Gave this a thumbs up in less than 30 seconds. loved every minute!
This entire thing watches like somebody tried to get on Gumball and got denied. To date, ~2500 drivers have gone a cumulative ~8 million miles on those rallies. Only 1 automobile accident resulting in death in that many miles with that many drivers is honestly impressive.
Thank you for the shoutout! We snuck on the Gumball 3000 20yrs ago this month. "Mischief 3000" was one of the top 10 selling motorsports DVDs in the world because of our Gumball 3000 coverage. We did pay the entry for the 2006 Gumball 3000 (8 Days Around the World) and we've been covering rallies ever since. Great memories! I remastered "Mischief 3000" ua-cam.com/video/7bwmtj2yeh8/v-deo.html
Super cool video! Just wanted to point out that the 3000 in Gumball3000 is actually like the year 3000 as maximillion has an obsession with the future that u can see through his art/vehicle collection. They did try to make the rally 3000 miles to match up but its not how it got its name. Heard him say this in Mr. JWWs interview/video with him posted a few days ago and never knew
I was writing my first car stories back in 2009 when I got in contact with a guy who had just done the Gumball. He was in his 50s, active in a big money industry and you would've never guessed he'd be a Gumballer. We had coffee and, after a nice long chat, he handed me a hard drive with raw footage for the rally to select for my article. However, a few minutes before I was supposed to leave, his Gumball partner showed up-they had done the even in a Gallardo-and was shocked to find out about our little agreement. Of course, I got home with 0 GB of video, and I'm still wondering what was in there to this day and whether it was the second guy's wife or employees that stood in the way of my hapiness, lol
Or option c, Maximilian Cooper's army of lawyers who'd have had both their asses for taking unauthorized footage during the rally and handing it to a third party. Saved you from a legal pounding there, man!
I've seen the Gumball Rally countless times. Absolutely love that movie. I know it's the more famous of the two... but barely remember The Cannonball Run. Gotta re-watch that one I guess.
@@jessellsealy7888 The Gumball Rally is absolutely not the more famous of the two. Far more people are familiar with Cannonball Run. It was the sixth highest-grossing film of 1981, behind Raiders of the Lost Ark, On Golden Pond, Superman II, Arthur, and Stripes.
@@jessellsealy7888 I get it. Cannonball Run is one of my all-time favorite movies, I first saw it when I was 5 and it's probably responsible more than any other movie for turning me into a car enthusiast.
That 2007 accident with porsche and golf ended up, when two people from porsche try to escape from Macedonia by jumping in rolls roys that came, but police arrested them. At the end they gave a large amount of money and they have been released.
No joke, Beaulieu is stolen French (bol-leyou) that the English pronounce Be-youly. The auto museum is awesome, as is the whole historic estate. New Forest is a great place to explore South England.
The story of how the Mischief crew got into the rally was actually pretty funny and also, hella dumb but as they say, "if it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid". If I remember correctly... So one of the producers of the crew had his E36 M3 just done up by strapping a turbo onto the engine and it was making north of 500hp. They drove it to the event as just a tagalong and was going to write reports about it, that's it. But then someone from their crew thought it was a great idea to print stickers and slab it on and act as if they were in the actual event. So they went to a sticker shop, printed whatever they could that looked authentic to what the other gumballers had and slathered it onto their M3, left it in the underground carpark like the other gumballers and continued to the pre-party. So the officials would check whatever cars that's parked in the garage down there once registration timing has closed and check if the car's plates and model all tallied towards the database that they had or not and all cars are supposed to have a special tag that they should have received prior to entering the hotel. So somehow, during the inspection during the night, unknown to the Mischief crew, some official walked past their car, realized that they had their M3 stickered up, noticed they didn't have the special tags and stuck one on the car for them thinking that they were a participant who simply forgot to tag their car before heading for the pre-party. The next day of the start of the official rally, they left the grand hall and thought they wouldn't be involved and what they did would definitely be caught and instantly tossed out but what happened shocked and slightly confused them. The official that tagged their car recognized them, told them about their car and then realized they didn't have their special wristband too. Thus he handed them their bands and sent them on their way. This confused them quite awhile till they realized that they had actually been entered into the rally without even being on the list and since they're not on the list, whatever Gumball rules that it had were not their problems anymore thus instead of having the idea of just filming short, secret films, they went fully committed and did a whole god damn documentary.
And also, you know what? I say... ENTER! Enter it. You STILL have time to make a crazy ride. Buy a crazy '70 Challenger, stuff a crate Redeye engine in it, balls to the walls and drive it the entire length. Because if CarThrottle could do it, you can too.

Not so fun fact. In Denmark we now confiscate cars on the spot if they are caught going over 2x the speed limit or anything above 200km/t(125 mph). So I don't think any future run would go through Denmark. An Iranian man living in Norway went to Germany to buy a Lamborghini Huracán and when crossing Denmark had it confiscated for driving 236km/t through Jutland after having bought it earlier that same day.
@@marinerbc1 Did Iranian subtract anything from the story? Simply a fact and it helps to show how small and intertwined Europe is compared to the US. And what is the Danish attitude?
@@marinerbc1 Well. Just Googled it to see what English spoken news media had to say on the matter and every single news site had the a reference to him being Iraqi citizen(I misremembered about him being Iranian). Every other citizenship than Norwegian and it would be a relevant detail. So why are you so offended?
"If you're on the Internet in 2002 and your mom needs to use the phone, you need to get off."

Those Mischief 3000 DVDs were awesome back in the day, I still have a few of them in a box in my garage. I was at the conclusion of the 2006 Gumball in Beverly Hills and it was a spectacle watching the cars stagger in.
So if you have the copy of the Mischief 3000 with the gumball logo on the hood of the BMW you have a very rare copy. When Gumball sued them they had to remove the logo on the cover of the DVD
Donut Media has been on a roll lately... Keep them coming! Good evening from the land down under 🤠 Edit: Thankyou very much for the likes... Much appreciated!
What sort of roll? sausage roll, chiko roll, chicken an gravy roll, one of those awesome vietnamese pork rolls? Not one of those vegemite rolls mum used to send ya to school with... surely?
I went to see the Gumball 3000 in Edinburgh during the 2016 rally. There was a road legal AMG GT3, and a literal Batmobile in the same team (never got to see the batmobile cause it broke down) and I got to see David FUCKING HASSLEHOFF. The next day when I was going back home, we drove past a white and orange Gumpart Apollo that had spun off the road. I tried to help push it out, but it wasnt for moving. Theres a video of it on YT and my younger self is in it. Thats my clame to fame lol
I assumed it was named for the 1976 movie "The Gumball Rally" 5 years before the Burt Reynolds movie "Cannonball Run". "The Gumball Rally" wasn't as wacky as "Cannonball Run" and was a little closer to the real race. It's worth watching.
Yeah I'm confused how DONUT thinks Cannonball started when the actual film GUMBALL RALLY came out before everything & is what inspired all these rallies. Gumball 3000 got its name FROM GUMBALL RALLY the Movie, it's what also inspired the American Rally "Bullrun".
I remember when the Gumball 3000 came through my town in 2017. it was the first time I got to see a veyron in person. and was the year they had the graphitti'd green lambo that drew everyone in.
Tbh i feel like the gumball also does show us how these luxury/ fast expensive cars can handle the long and tiring jouney especially since many believe they get broken down easily
Yeah I actually thought about that, like wtf would you do in middle of nowhere in the Balkans when your multi million dollar car broke down, surprisingly none of them did
Actually many of them do break down easily. Ferrari is quite known for its low reliability. In recent years their reliability improved. Still, I did find a video from a guy that owned one from the early 2010s and he complained that about 1 in 4 weeks the Ferrari at a dealership for repairs and there were still issues. Lambo isn't better off.
@13:43 that car interior is a Camaro Berlinettta (~1984). It had that special pedestal style stereo w/ top loading tape deck instead of an in-dash unit. The digital speedo would just stop at 88mph and flash. Those sidepod buttons never worked either, sometimes you couldn't turn on the wipers or maybe you couldn't turn them off.. Thanks for the memories, I miss that car.
Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera went to my high school and got expelled for dropping pants and rubbing their junk on lockers. Those lockers are still there, and yes they're basically a national monument.
I remember watching Shmee150 partake in the Gumball 3000 in 2018, those were the coolest vlogs I've watched in that year. It was amazing to see some of the cars that were in the rally, too.
Theres a lot of focus on the 1981 Cannonball Run movie and the real event which it was based on, but it seems that the Gumball 3000 is definitely named after the earlier 1976 Gumball Rally movie, the OG silly road rally movie.
@@riotgear9116 id personally rather see rich people be held accountable the same way we are. Speeding tickets based on your wealth rather than the same number for the poor and the ultra rich and so on
I remember in season two of Top Gear the super model Jodie Kidd was on for the SIARPC (she took top place, beating out JK) and she talked a lot about the Gumball.
A few years back, the Gumball 3000 came through Death Valley National Park where I was working as a law enforcement park ranger. At one point I pulled over a Ferrari going 90 in a 50. The situation was pretty ridiculous. The driver of the Ferrari immediately pulled over when I turned on my overhead lights and patiently waited for me as I did a slow-ass, three-point turn on the two-lane road in my Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle to get turned around. If he had chosen to run, there was simply no way in hell I would catch him, so the first thing I did when I walked up was to thank him for stopping. Turns out he was in a rental, and he had paid $21,000 to rent it for three weeks. The most expensive ticket I could've written him would've only been $450, so I used the only tool I had: I issued him a summons to court without the option to pay a fine. He had to fly to L.A. from his home in Europe a few months later and drive a rental car out to Bakersfield to appear before the federal judge just to plea guilty and pay the $450 fine anyway. Fun times.....
Ur an ass for that. Any normal person would have just fined him especially since he stopped right away. Some would have let him go n most would have given him a lower fine. Especially for only 90.
Love that we are getting more up-to-speeds on the actual things happening around the car world and not just about cars. dont get me wrong i love cars but i want to know more about these crazy events.
I remember watching one of those dvds back in the day and it blew my mind that someone was not only driving an F50 in shitty weather, but driving through the desert with a cracked windshield and sandblasted front bumper.
The Gumball Rally film always gets overlooked, same with Carquake (Cannonball!). The latter having the best porn-funk score ever put to film imho, also made by most of the cast and crew that did Death Race 2000.
@@nickabel8279 I just thought he enjoyed speeding - I too like to speed from time to time. I didn't realize the song was in response to the gov't mandating a lower speed limit
No Sir James, I can barely grasp at the though of driving a car from 1929 for that long, let alone see in person. But think of just how fun it would be and everything that would happen during that race?! Definitely going to remember every single mile of it.
Speaking of rich car enthusiasts racing on public highways, can you do a video on The Hashiriya (aka The Midnight Club) that ruled the Shuto Expressway in the 80's and 90's? That would be epic!
@@IgnorantDriversClub a moment of oversteer isn't drifting. I grew up sliding FWD cars around in the dirt and snow. While fun, it isn't remotely close to initiating and sustaining a proper drift.
Gumball Rally came out in 1976, 5 years before cannonball by the Breeders. Thumbs down for not mentioning why they named it Gumball Rally 3000. Because of the movie! Im guessing, I figured the Handsome boy model Saw that movie and decided he didn't want to get sued by Bert Reynolds. The plot is all about rich dudes who are bored. "You heard me. Gumball. "
Did not know I would hear my country's name in a Donut video, and I didn't even hear about the Gumball crash with the VW.... Really sad to hear that happened...
I owned for a brief period before stupidly selling it, one of the three DC Shoes/Vermont Sports Cars 2005 STi's that Rob Drydek, Damon Way and Ken Block drove in the Gumball 3000! It was the Pink/Black Camo car that Damon Way, founder of DC Shoes drove. It was a beautifully built car by Vermont Sports Cars who are the folks behind Subaru Rally USA - should have kept it in collection, I'm sad you didn't show a photo or mention that they did the rally in modified Subarus! Great video and nice to shout out local friends Dustin and boys from Teckademics/Mischief!

@@PLAYERSLAYER_22 Short version: H2Oi got so wild and messy that Ocean City did not allow them to return to the campground a few years ago ( I was there for 9 years; shit got WILD near the end). The official show was held in Atlantic City on 2018, but after that It seems to get fuzzy as their original website is no longer displaying so I can't tell if there is an official wing for the show anymore. That doesn't stop some people from showing up in OC on the same date as the original official event and try to cause chaos.
@@andrewstewart1464 so yeah I heard something along those lines around 2019 regarding the government outlook on the whole thing. even during the summers the city is trying to shift its public image outside of h20i. definitely a lot more space in Atlantic city across the rt50. stuff gets crazy around the hilton lmao.
Johnny Knoxville's agent contacted my dad to use his general Lee Dodge charger replica as Knoxville was in the dukes of hazard movie. He turned them down, partly due to the car not being 100% finished, but mostly due to the fact it would be Johnny Knoxville driving it

I'll buy it from you and pay shipping
Not so fun fact.
In Denmark we now confiscate cars on the spot if they are caught going over 2x the speed limit or anything above 200km/t(125 mph). So I don't think any future run would go through Denmark.
An Iranian man living in Norway went to Germany to buy a Lamborghini Huracán and when crossing Denmark had it confiscated for driving 236km/t through Jutland after having bought it earlier that same day.
And ‘ Iranian’ added what to the story ? unbelievable ‘Danish’ attitude 😂
@@marinerbc1 Did Iranian subtract anything from the story?
Simply a fact and it helps to show how small and intertwined Europe is compared to the US.
And what is the Danish attitude?
@@marinerbc1 Well. Just Googled it to see what English spoken news media had to say on the matter and every single news site had the a reference to him being Iraqi citizen(I misremembered about him being Iranian). Every other citizenship than Norwegian and it would be a relevant detail. So why are you so offended?

Oh god the memories... waiting 3-5 minutes for one jpg of a mostly naked lady to load onto the screen one thin stripe at a time while knowing at any point a random family member could come walking into home office.
Those Mischief 3000 DVDs were awesome back in the day, I still have a few of them in a box in my garage. I was at the conclusion of the 2006 Gumball in Beverly Hills and it was a spectacle watching the cars stagger in.
So if you have the copy of the Mischief 3000 with the gumball logo on the hood of the BMW you have a very rare copy. When Gumball sued them they had to remove the logo on the cover of the DVD
I remember hearing this on a VinWiki video, I think. I checked my DVD and it is one of the early ones with the gumball logon on the hood of the BMW.
Donut Media has been on a roll lately... Keep them coming!

Sick mural work, well done! Murals are one of the hardest mediums to portray so much detail so well.
Not gonna lie, this video just sounds like they're jealous of not being able to participate....
I went to see the Gumball 3000 in Edinburgh during the 2016 rally. There was a road legal AMG GT3, and a literal Batmobile in the same team (never got to see the batmobile cause it broke down) and I got to see David FUCKING HASSLEHOFF. The next day when I was going back home, we drove past a white and orange Gumpart Apollo that had spun off the road. I tried to help push it out, but it wasnt for moving. Theres a video of it on YT and my younger self is in it. Thats my clame to fame lol
I assumed it was named for the 1976 movie "The Gumball Rally" 5 years before the Burt Reynolds movie "Cannonball Run". "The Gumball Rally" wasn't as wacky as "Cannonball Run" and was a little closer to the real race. It's worth watching.
Well I guess it's cool you mentioned the Teckademics/Mischief crew. Dado is the man and his Dakar turbo M3 was so cool!
Can confirm 100% accurate pronunciation of Beaulieu at 6:51
@Simon Wood you must understand this is a joke, surely
Surprised "the gumball rally " film from 76' was not mentioned...some of the best shelby cobra and Ferrari driving on film
Yeah I'm confused how DONUT thinks Cannonball started when the actual film GUMBALL RALLY came out before everything & is what inspired all these rallies. Gumball 3000 got its name FROM GUMBALL RALLY the Movie, it's what also inspired the American Rally "Bullrun".
James neglected to mention the amount of new connections you can make at those parties are game changing
really though, with the 120k entry fee, do you really need those parties to make connections?
@MrPrajitura someone obviously doesn't see this comment was a joke from a year ago...
I remember when the Gumball 3000 came through my town in 2017. it was the first time I got to see a veyron in person. and was the year they had the graphitti'd green lambo that drew everyone in.
Tbh i feel like the gumball also does show us how these luxury/ fast expensive cars can handle the long and tiring jouney especially since many believe they get broken down easily
Yeah I actually thought about that, like wtf would you do in middle of nowhere in the Balkans when your multi million dollar car broke down, surprisingly none of them did
Actually many of them do break down easily. Ferrari is quite known for its low reliability. In recent years their reliability improved. Still, I did find a video from a guy that owned one from the early 2010s and he complained that about 1 in 4 weeks the Ferrari at a dealership for repairs and there were still issues. Lambo isn't better off.
@@car_rar well, you just find the nearest dealership and buy another car, innit?
Honestly I'm surprised you didn't mention Alex Roy in his polizia m5. I reckon he would even be worth an up to speed of his own
straight starscream level tech
oh man would love to see an episoe on the polizia m5 badass
This is probably the most consistent channel on yt ▶️
WatchJRGo is pretty consistent as well.
@@DreamWorkDrive I like him as well!
Dezzysspeedshop is right up there too!

oh wait you'd be dead halfway through
so one guy crashed and killed 2 people that made a wrong turn and these guys just make fun of everyone that enters?
Weird, just found my Mischief Dynasty DVD a couple days ago, and watching it right now.
Edit* oh, so he mentioned them, sweet
LA traffic combined with recent fuel price make my good' ol Triumph Tiger 1050 indispensable 😂
Day 341 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
Lol
@13:43 that car interior is a Camaro Berlinettta (~1984). It had that special pedestal style stereo w/ top loading tape deck instead of an in-dash unit. The digital speedo would just stop at 88mph and flash. Those sidepod buttons never worked either, sometimes you couldn't turn on the wipers or maybe you couldn't turn them off.. Thanks for the memories, I miss that car.
They just came through my town of Bardstown today and it was amazing
Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera went to my high school and got expelled for dropping pants and rubbing their junk on lockers. Those lockers are still there, and yes they're basically a national monument.
My best friend would've creamed himself
17:50 James you're 1 of the real 1s. I appreciate that you couldn't say that with a straight face
The giggle in the background makes it even better
I remember watching Shmee150 partake in the Gumball 3000 in 2018, those were the coolest vlogs I've watched in that year. It was amazing to see some of the cars that were in the rally, too.
I also like that trip the best, seems like because Japan🤪
I have an original Mischief dvd that has the Gumball logo on it still.
Glad to see you pumping out these comedic auto history episodes James! Hope you're doing well these days
The shocking attempt at pronouncing beauliea is hilarious 😂
"Balooooo" God i love Americans
His pronunciation was amazing. For reference, it's pronounce byew-lee (give or take). So not, not even the French way.
Theres a lot of focus on the 1981 Cannonball Run movie and the real event which it was based on, but it seems that the Gumball 3000 is definitely named after the earlier 1976 Gumball Rally movie, the OG silly road rally movie.
Imagine if they all gathered at the Nurburgring and just race there like "normal" people that are multimilionare and own exotics do :)
That would be lame
That would take skill and talent rather than just money, too hard for rich kids
@@luchadorito I'd rather see them wreck the daddy's car on public roads then on the track.
@@riotgear9116 Why? Honest question
@@riotgear9116 id personally rather see rich people be held accountable the same way we are. Speeding tickets based on your wealth rather than the same number for the poor and the ultra rich and so on
I remember in season two of Top Gear the super model Jodie Kidd was on for the SIARPC (she took top place, beating out JK) and she talked a lot about the Gumball.
0:53 that’s def a white claw not a redbull 👀👀👀
A few years back, the Gumball 3000 came through Death Valley National Park where I was working as a law enforcement park ranger. At one point I pulled over a Ferrari going 90 in a 50. The situation was pretty ridiculous. The driver of the Ferrari immediately pulled over when I turned on my overhead lights and patiently waited for me as I did a slow-ass, three-point turn on the two-lane road in my Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle to get turned around. If he had chosen to run, there was simply no way in hell I would catch him, so the first thing I did when I walked up was to thank him for stopping. Turns out he was in a rental, and he had paid $21,000 to rent it for three weeks. The most expensive ticket I could've written him would've only been $450, so I used the only tool I had: I issued him a summons to court without the option to pay a fine. He had to fly to L.A. from his home in Europe a few months later and drive a rental car out to Bakersfield to appear before the federal judge just to plea guilty and pay the $450 fine anyway. Fun times.....
Ur an ass for that. Any normal person would have just fined him especially since he stopped right away. Some would have let him go n most would have given him a lower fine. Especially for only 90.
Honestly thank you.
That's a dick move wtf.
😂
Couldn't he just not appear and have a default judgment made against him then pay that somewhat increased fine?
I remember the jackass gum ball so well especially Chris pontius saying “Russian police, stern but fair”
Love that we are getting more up-to-speeds on the actual things happening around the car world and not just about cars. dont get me wrong i love cars but i want to know more about these crazy events.
I live about a 30 minute drive from Beaulieu and I have never heard anyone butcher the pronunciation in such an impressive fashion.
I remember watching one of those dvds back in the day and it blew my mind that someone was not only driving an F50 in shitty weather, but driving through the desert with a cracked windshield and sandblasted front bumper.
Thank you rylie! That logo is going to be plastered on every car in my driveway, laptops and any unsuspecting buddies car lol
The Gumball Rally film always gets overlooked, same with Carquake (Cannonball!).
The latter having the best porn-funk score ever put to film imho, also made by most of the cast and crew that did Death Race 2000.
Damn the donut painting looks amazing 🤩🤩
"they do crazy shit, basement shit, island shit..." 😂
My favourite youtube channel name called " DAILY DRIVER EXOTICS "
I heard about gumball 3000 so I'm checking out what really is gumball
So it just dawned on me that the Sammy Hagar's "I can't drive 55" is a protest song - (insert mind blown emoji)
What did you think it was?...
@@nickabel8279 I just thought he enjoyed speeding - I too like to speed from time to time. I didn't realize the song was in response to the gov't mandating a lower speed limit
No Sir James, I can barely grasp at the though of driving a car from 1929 for that long, let alone see in person. But think of just how fun it would be and everything that would happen during that race?! Definitely going to remember every single mile of it.
“Liked” by Johnny Knoxville…Pretty sure it will be
there was also a movie that came out in 76 that was called "the gumball rally"
The Gumball Rally movie in 1976 started it all. The current gumball is named after that movie. Donut never even mentioned it. Scandalous!
Speaking of rich car enthusiasts racing on public highways, can you do a video on The Hashiriya (aka The Midnight Club) that ruled the Shuto Expressway in the 80's and 90's? That would be epic!
He did the other day didn’t he? I’m sure I watched it

The Altima joke killed me - drifted my friends one into a snow bank (literally no damage to me or car somehow don’t worry).
Love your work guys.
FWD cars can't drift. You simply crashed bro. Quit trying to church it up lol.
@@michaelallen2501 thats cause you’re not driving fast enough
Drifted a fwd altima? Nah u just crashed prob going over black ice
@@IgnorantDriversClub a moment of oversteer isn't drifting. I grew up sliding FWD cars around in the dirt and snow. While fun, it isn't remotely close to initiating and sustaining a proper drift.
Man I wanna go on a rally like that it's so cool
Unfortunately the 2904 doesn't run anymore. That is a version where you do NY to LA in a car that is old and less than 3000 dollars
@@GetOffMyLog They still have The Musketball, though! It's a run in any car with less than 100HP.
Feels so good not being the only person who knew/owned the Mischief DVDs! I had the 3000 and the Teckademics DVDs
Gumball Rally came out in 1976, 5 years before cannonball by the Breeders.
Thumbs down for not mentioning why they named it Gumball Rally 3000. Because of the movie! Im guessing, I figured the Handsome boy model Saw that movie and decided he didn't want to get sued by Bert Reynolds.
The plot is all about rich dudes who are bored.
"You heard me. Gumball. "
Did not know I would hear my country's name in a Donut video, and I didn't even hear about the Gumball crash with the VW.... Really sad to hear that happened...
You have internet in North Korea?
@@constructdestruct360 Macedonia lol, before the North Korea part 😂
Man I had to go back and watch that thing about the donut logo at least five times before I watch the rest of the video if you catch my drift LOL
6:05 Come for the car knowledge, stay for the Epstein jokes.
dont forget R Kelly as well
Well you know what they say…It’s only illegal If poor people do it
I owned for a brief period before stupidly selling it, one of the three DC Shoes/Vermont Sports Cars 2005 STi's that Rob Drydek, Damon Way and Ken Block drove in the Gumball 3000! It was the Pink/Black Camo car that Damon Way, founder of DC Shoes drove. It was a beautifully built car by Vermont Sports Cars who are the folks behind Subaru Rally USA - should have kept it in collection, I'm sad you didn't show a photo or mention that they did the rally in modified Subarus!
Great video and nice to shout out local friends Dustin and boys from Teckademics/Mischief!
The Gumball Rally movie was second to CR2. It features the best shot of cars racing in NYC and it can never be reproduced.
Who else's day is also made by Donut Media?
yes
At 6:05 got me 😂 LOL
When you done it all and seen it all, we would come up with something to entertain our peers. So true LOL😂
Sup donut media... would really love to see an episode of Up To Speed on Worthersee... I know James would love that one... love the channel... hope to see a future segment on Worthersee...
As an extension of that idea, I'd like to also see one about H20i and how and how it drove itself out of Ocean City. That's a wild story as well.
@@andrewstewart1464 yooo what yall talking about? im an old bay consumer as well, but dont know this story
And would love to see SEMA and Essen too
@@PLAYERSLAYER_22 Short version: H2Oi got so wild and messy that Ocean City did not allow them to return to the campground a few years ago ( I was there for 9 years; shit got WILD near the end). The official show was held in Atlantic City on 2018, but after that It seems to get fuzzy as their original website is no longer displaying so I can't tell if there is an official wing for the show anymore. That doesn't stop some people from showing up in OC on the same date as the original official event and try to cause chaos.
@@andrewstewart1464 so yeah I heard something along those lines around 2019 regarding the government outlook on the whole thing. even during the summers the city is trying to shift its public image outside of h20i. definitely a lot more space in Atlantic city across the rt50. stuff gets crazy around the hilton lmao.
Johnny Knoxville's agent contacted my dad to use his general Lee Dodge charger replica as Knoxville was in the dukes of hazard movie. He turned them down, partly due to the car not being 100% finished, but mostly due to the fact it would be Johnny Knoxville driving it
