So I was in the French Quarter tonight walking to a show.  I hear the sound of an exotic sports car behind me....I turn to see a yellow lambo...followed by a Nissan GT-R...followed by a Ferrari F430...followed by a McClaren SLR....followed by a Ford GT....followed by a Porsche GT....I thought I was hallucinating!  I asked one of the drivers what they were doing/shooting for...and he said "Gumball 3000"

I'm thinking what the hell is gumball 3000.  Well apparently its a nationwide exotic car rally of sorts....starting in LA and ending in Miami.  Here is a video of the cars for 2009. All of these cars will be on display tomorrow in the quarter...I am going to take pictures and videos. Will post more here later.

For anyone who has been to the quarter in New Orleans....the roads are very small one-way roads...the sound of a lambo reving right next to me is enough to scare you...seriously....these sorts of cars are LOUD.  Talk about a once in a lifetime experience!

hmmm you can even enter your car too if you want...its not only for exotics
the fees  for that race are crazy not to mention the speeding tickets if you get caught speeding. the people who usually enter those things are mostly rich people that drive exotic cars

OMG! Do I have a show for you guys. I found where all the cars were staying before they left for Orlando this morning.  I don't even want to think about how much money was sitting in this parking lot....you are talking like 10 million dollars worth of cars.  Living in the city I got an inside hint as to where some of most expensive cars were....in an underground garage in the Royal Sonesta Hotel....I had a hint a particular car was was there....all I can say is OMG! Its like it was fake...
