Day 5 Recap 2008 AKA Rally

Camera man, Creative Digital Media Solutions, Extraordinaire, Mike Spock comes for the ride along to witness the eye opening debauchery first handed.

The question on everyone’s mind, will we still come in first lacking the usual driver/co-driver combination . Hence, one driver to do everything (yea, everything meaning the impossible whatever that may be).

To make things more interesting (or fair because of the simpletons previous days complaints (more on this another time)) we wrote the directions on a sheet of paper AND turned OFF all GPS devices (NO GPS, NO MAPS, NO B.S., USED ON THIS RUN!).

Made one quick phone call (<1 min.) to our fellow team member to double check the route.

With the executive decision at mile 100, and when Mike Spock was done filming and taking pictures of the other cars.

We split from everyone and took the back roads only.

For a second we thought the DIVX BMW was ahead of us.

However that was a mere figment of a dream.

FIRST TO THE CHECKPOINT AGAIN!!!

Moral: A professional can come in first no matter what situation arises. We did not ask Mike Spock as the co-driver to do anything that the usual co-driver would do (read maps, flash people, etc…). He had his job to do so and so did we. Next time we’ll let him drive, we’ll hold the cameras, switch 20 times just so we can get the shot, and then maybe come in first again.

   

Day 6 Recap 2008 AKA Rally

No matter which way we go some people will always follow.

Just to prove a point from the previous days simpletons assumptions.
We chose a longer, more thought-out, scenic route. 

GPS Route (BLUE) 234 miles Our route (RED) 330 miles (96 miles longer)

Team Tumescence Route Indicated in RED

The GPS route chosen by 99% (1% who followed us) of the fellow ralliers would prove to be fatal.
As they were met by heavy resistance.

Dispatch Message 2:10pm – All RALLY cars (cars with the ridiculous stickers) are being pulled over.

We laugh and then have a moment of silence for our fellow fallen ralliers.
The 1% who followed would soon dissipate in the dust.

Our scenic journey would take us off-road

but no worries, we are equipped to handle such terrain.

Strangely we managed to pass the DIVX BMW at the last mile.

There can only be ONE to finish first.

Thoughts on car:

Biggest piece of SH!T we’ve ever rented. At 150.2mph the convertible roof started to peel back, unitl it finally broke at 167.5mph (that’s why we couldn’t post a faster high speed, we continued to try, but everything seemed like it was going to rip off). Did Chevrolet not think anyone would test the car at high speed? We still had more to give, too bad the car didn’t. Screw American buy Italian. Times would’ve posted faster, too bad this car is not equipped to handle people like us. However, we still arrived First.

*Done by professional drivers on closed course. Never attempt to try and beat anything here. Doing so may result in us losing sponsors and having to go out and beat your score.
