Gumball Officially Dead

I recently viewed the newest Gumball film, 3000. After dreaming of driving the Gumball 3000 for years I can honestly say I'm over it. The film, in short, is a piece of shit. It's basically 90 minutes of Bam Margera and Tony Hawk bitching and moaning. And, for some reason, Mike Vallely is also along for the drive. Oddly, he's listed as a main 'character' in the film. At most Vallely mumbles two or three lines and pushes around on his board at check points. Who cares. It's a sad state of affairs that this is the Gumball film founder Maximillion Cooper has created and directed. Where are the REAL drivers? Let's see some cars? What if I'm not a teenage girl wearing a HIM hoodie?

And speaking of cars, Bam's Lamborghini Gallardo really sums up what Gumball has become. It's the car a 14 year old boy would want after seeing it on a poster at Spencer Gifts. Margera spends $160,000 on this thing and THEN paints it purple. Class act. I'm not going to waste the time and space on the better autos you could get for a quarter of the money. (OK, one. The only Lamborghini worth owning, the 1969 Miura P400 S. Beautiful car).

The idea of a group of drivers traveling 3000 miles across challenging roads in incredible cars is a great idea. Hopefully there will be more and more people gathering to do this that aren't rich, faux celebrities looking for a way to show off.
