How does that work? Start point - then to a check point(s) - then to a finish point?

No, no, no, http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q234/Hawgwild06/Smilies/nono-1.gif. Gumball Rally, seen the movie? It's a timed event from point A to point B with checkpoints along the way. There is no speeding, it's a timed event to see how well you can navigate the "fastest" way through a popular route or a less traveled route. Not simply a drive. :rolleyes:

Well with today's GPS technology, this seems to be more about who has the better mapping technology than a navigation and driving skills challenge...

I know that Mapquest, Google Maps, Navtev, Garmin, and Tom Tom all send you along different routes depending on your "mapping preferences"...

So it might still be fun, but not as much skill as it use to be in Gumball Rally...

#1 rule would state, " No electronic devices may be used for the rally" http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q234/Hawgwild06/Smilies/rules.gif

I guess nobody will be going anywhere then...let's see, unless your car has a magneto and you do a rolling jump start, last time I checked the ignition system even on your carbuerated big block is still an "electronic device"...or you may want to further define that rule to say no "GPS devices...or phones equiped with same..."

What, afraid your 4.6 won't run without electronics? Oh wait, it won't will it. :D I do have electronic ignition - so, rev 1, of rule 1 a - No electronic navigation devices allowed during rally.

Rule # 2 should be no pre-mapping of the route before we leave...i.e. when you get to point A = point B is revealed, etc.

Speakin' of lawyers, I get a chicken wrap from Sonic today, and bit in to something really hard. Turns out it was a white zip tie. Want to represent me?

At least it wasn't a "finger", get it - chicken finger...

If so, were U hurt? If you were not hurt, chances are U do not have a cause of action for damages. In essence, no harm/no foul.
