"JOY OF THE RIDE" - Our Adventures on the Joy Ride Rally

[DUSTIN WORLES]

Canadian Brian (prova4re) called me at the beginning of April and asked if I would be interested in doing the Joy Ride Rally. Hell ya! This would be my seventh rally that I would be documenting. The Joy Ride Rally starts in Santa Monica, CA and ends seven days later in New Orleans, LA. In N.O., the Joy Ride Rally donates a certain percentage of entries fees to the Salvation Army. I was excited about the rally because of the southern route (less cops) and that we were helping out a good cause. I wanted to go with Dado but he couldn't get out of work and his M3 is no longer street legal (was it ever?). Brian was going with John Eltringham in John's new Murci. John was Dado's lawyer in "Mischief V Dynasty" - when Dado got that felony evading charge in Kansas. Luckily Deepak wanted to go too and had no passenger. Problem solved.


DEEPAK'S DIRTY CARRERA 4

We decided to take Deepak's 2000 Carrera 4 again. It hadn't been cleaned since we did the gumball a year ago. We dropped it off at a mechanic to look over the whole car. The only thing that was wrong was a slipping clutch. There was no time to change it because I had to drive the car 3000 miles from MD to Santa Monica for the start of the rally and we were running out of time. I left MD on Friday May 13th and headed west babying the clutch the whole way. I was trying to get the car out to CA so there would be enough time to change out the clutch.

By the next day, I knew the Porsche wouldn't make it to CA. This was the 4th rally the car has been on and the clutch was toast. I called my buddy Jimmy in Phoenix to see if he knew any shop out there that could quickly throw in a new clutch. He called his friend Jim Bryant, owner of Redline Motorsports, and Jim agreed to help me out. He cleared his Monday morning schedule for me. I got the car there on Sunday evening with no problems.

Monday morning we dropped the Porsche off at Redline Motorsports and planned on the car to be there all day. Shortly after lunch, the Porsche was finished! In only 3 short hours, the clutch was installed and the car was ready to go! But we had another problem. The rear tires were completely bald. We took the car to Jimmy's friend who works at a tire place nearby. New tires got put on in an hour and the car was finally ready to rally!


STUNT GONE WRONG? YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE VIDEO.

I left AZ early Wednesday morning to drive to Santa Monica. I get to our hotel at 3pm just after Brian and Deepak arrive. After driving 3,000 miles, I was ready to sleep. Nope. Time to get ready for the rally!

THE SUSPECTS > DEEPAK - DUSTIN - JOHN
http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0363.JPG



*The 1st rule of a Rally is...never leave your wingman!

I get into LAX on Wednesday, April 18th, only to find my wingman Deepak left me at the airport. His flight got in a few hours early and he decided he didn't want to wait for me. Our other buddy Jerry (aka John Luke Picard) missed his flight. He called to tell us that he would fly in on Friday, the day before the rally started. The only other person that was suppose to fly in that day was Richard. This was Richard's first rally so he got the nickname "Rally Bitch". We brought him along to shoot some photos. Dustin was arriving later in the day in Deepak's Porsche.

Richard and I find our way to the hotel in Santa Monica, only to find out that the hotel had no idea what the Joy Ride Rally was and didn't have reserved rooms for us. I knew right then and there that it was going to be a long, long week. After some phone calls , we get everything straightened out. Dustin shows up after his 3000 mile drive from DC and we all decide to go out drinking. Most of the other drivers wouldn't be there for another 3 days.

My copilot John was arriving on Friday. You may remember John from "Mischief V Dynasty". He owns the old school white Porsche 911 with the huge whale tail that was on the 2004 Players Run. John also helped Dado get out of his felony evading charge in Kansas.



JOHN'S PORSCHE. AS SEEN IN MISCHIEF V DYNASTY.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/TeckEast%20pics/342658350_l.jpg

John had his new Murci shipped to the hotel and it arrived on Thursday night for me to fondle. Of course we had to take her out for a shake down run. I told John that we had to drop the Murci off to get stickered up, hehe. Roy Cats joined us on this short run in his new long beach blue LP640. This thing was sick as hell, with its blacked out wheels with blue lips and blacked out taillights! The most expensive LP at the time!

A couple other cars joined us on this run including Deepak's 996, a Spyker, a 355, and a yellow GT3. We hit a gas station first to refuel. As soon as I pull in, 2 girls came up to the Murci and asked for a ride. I get one of their numbers and offer the girl a ride. But Rally Bitch cock-blocked me by refusing to give up shotgun and drive the girl's WRX. Richard was definitely living up to his name.

We drop the whips off at Exotic Car Wraps (ExoticCarWraps.com) and head back to the hotel for some more drinking. About 4 hours later, we decide to drunk dial one of the chicks to see if she would come out and play. To my surprise her mom picks up the phone and says she is in bed sleeping. The girl had a mid-term exam in the morning. I felt like a dirty old man! You know the kind that wears the driving gloves with the holes in them and drives around the mall in a hot car looking for young girls to pick up. After that, I decide to head to bed.



FRIDAY - PREP DAY

We head to Exotic Car Wraps in the morning to help sticker up the cars. On the way there I get a call from Jerry saying that he missed his flight again and he was trying to bail out altogether. Jerry is a bit of a flake so it didn't surprise us when he called. Deepak and I decided to teach him a lesson. We found a pic of Jerry online (thanks Leiter!) and we got a few hundred 3" round stickers printed up with Jerry's head in the center with the word's "Where's Jerry?" along the bottom. We also got about 50 full sized cutout stickers of just Jerry's head. We planned on tagging up America with Jerry's head during the rally.

We had a few fake plates made
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/prova4re/IMG_0362.jpg


We leave the sign shop in the early afternoon and I take John's new whip back to the hotel. I get no more than 3 blocks and get lost, lol! I pull an illegal U-turn right in front of this cop! We come up to a light and the cop pulls up next to me. "Yo, Mario Andretti. Nice 'Student Driver' sticker!". I thank the cop and ask him where the hotel is. He tells me I should have taken a map class before the driving school and then he takes off.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/prova4re/IMG_7111.jpg


I manage my way back to the hotel just in time for the pre-rally dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. on the Santa Monica pier. There were about 25 of us there but no sign of any of the rally organizes. Now I have done a couple rallys before and I know how hard it is to pull one of these events off. You have to hype the hell out of it and hope half of what you tell people turns out the way you said it would or no one will show up. So its no surprise to me to see the last minute scramble from the people who are putting this event on.

Its funny to see some of the first timers who expect to get everything catered to them on a silver plater just because the spent 8k to 10k on a event! They start by complaining on how bad the food is (at the restaurant). Then they whine about the organizers not being on time. Then some of them don't want to drive their cars in the rain, etc, etc. Bunch of babies! The organizer never makes it to dinner so we all have to pay for our own meals. I have never seen such a cheap group of exotic cars owners in my life. Its not as if we were eating at some swanky restaurant or something - hell they were all ordering burgers and shrimp! We paid our bill and went back to the hotel to drink.

I hung out with the couple who own a orange Gallardo most of the night. They told me that their car had never seen rain and it had never gone over 85mph. I was afraid that most of the rally participants were going to like them. I end up ordering them a few drinks and get drunk pretty quickly. The owner of the Gallardo said he would take care of the bill so I thanked him and went to my room to pass out. While checking out the next morning, I find out that the Gallardo guy signed my name and room number on the $356 bar bill. Not surprising.

SATURDAY - DAY 1
SANTA MONICA, CA to PHOENIX, AZ - 370 MILES

Friday morning I wake up to a text from Jerry saying he is bailing one of his employees out of jail and he will meet us on the second day in Phoenix. John shows up at the hotel with great news...it was his birthday, his divorce was final, and he gets to drive his new Lambo for the first time! We roll to the pier and find a lot of cars already there. We are surprised to see some friends from other rallies on the pier hanging out. There were about 45 to 50 cars lined up but only half are stickered up completely. We didn't let the small turn out bother us because we have a lot more fun with a smaller group of people.

SATURDAY - DAY 1
SANTA MONICA, CA to PHOENIX, AZ - 370 MILES


Deepak and I arrive at the pier a little late but just in time for breakfast. Rally Bitch was there with his friend Robin from Revo Technik. Robin hooked his laptop to our Porsche and flashed the computer optimizing the ignition timing and air/fuel ratio giving us an extra 15hp. Deepak took the car for a spin and noticed a difference. To bad we just couldn't just throw on a couple of turbos on the car too!

SATURDAY - DAY 1
SANTA MONICA, CA to PHOENIX, AZ - 370 MILES
(CONTINUED)


Everyone lines up on the pier and waits for the film chopper to show up. When the start flag drops we follow the police escort through downtown Santa Monica. The chopper is about 6 stories off the ground and flies sideways so the cameraman can film the cars zigzagging through the streets. After about 30 minutes of this, we hit the freeway and the 3 CGTs blast off followed by Oliver's SLR and the Spyker. They quickly blow pass us while we hold back to film the rest of rally cars getting onto the freeway. 20 minutes later the highway traffic slows to a craw. About a 1/4 mile to the right, we see police lights and 3 rally cars pulled over; the silver CGT, the Spyker, and the SLR. Over the walkie talkies comes this loud voice, "Stupid is as Stupid does!" Roy told us at the start of the rally if we see someone who needs help on the side of the road to pull over and help them. I told John to stop so I could lend a hand with my video camera. Dustin and Deepak in the Porsche stops with us. I walk back to the cars that were getting tickets and the cops start yelling at me to get back in my car. I quickly pull out my camera and say that we were shooting a video and the cop demands that I show him a press pass so hand him the only ID I had in my pocket. He reads it...

"My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue, but people call me Bubba". The confused cop asks, "what the hell is this?"

The trivia card from the Bubba Gump restaurant didn't go over well as the cop yelled at me to take my gumpy ass back to that "Itailin rocket" and sit there until he came back.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0360.JPG


The police gave the first three rally cars tickets and then let them go. A couple cop cars left and only one officer remained. He told us that we was going to have to give us a ticket for stopping in an emergency lane. Deepak gets pulled out of his car and put into the back of the cop car. Dustin snaps a couple quick pics and I secretly film. Another cop officer rolls up.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0370.JPG


About 10 minutes later, Deepak comes out of the cop car with a big smiles. Turns out the cops find out that John is a lawyer, and that's its his birthday, and that he just got his divorced finalized that day. "Lieutenant Dan" (no joke that was his name) had just got his divorce settled the week before so we end up sitting around for 20 minutes swapping ex-wife stories. After taking some pics with the cops, they let us go and told us, "tell your buddies I will reduce their tickets from speeding down to coasting on the highway". He then rips up one of the other guy's tickets and says have a good day.

http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0380.JPG


We head off to palm springs to meet up with the rest of the pack, but by the time we show up most have already had their lunch and were ready to head to Phoenix. The other half of the pack ends up turning around and heads to LA. Ashley Van Dyke ("Jenny" as the boys were calling her) decided to make a early exit with a few other drivers in the 350Z.

"I'M NOT A SMART MAN, BUT I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/prova4re/IMG_0528-1.jpg


We decide not to wait around too long because John had a hot date in AZ waiting for him. We leave without Dustin and Deepak and fly to AZ.


LOOKS LIKE JERRY IS ALREADY HERE!

http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0467.JPG


We manage to burn through $205.00 dollars in gas in less than 5 hours. While shifting from 5th to 6th, (one of the gears we tend not to use for some reason) the gear shifter breaks off in John's hand! The car is now stuck in 6th gear and we have no way to shift, so we burn all the gas that we can and just coast to the Valley Ho hotel. At the hotel, I wait outside for the rest of the people to show up. Only 18 cars ended up at the hotel. Most had turned around or broke down, never to be seen again. Big John shows up 4 hours later in his Cobra with his blow up doll/co pilot riding shot gun. He must have stopped and had some fun along the way.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/joyriderally---23.jpg


John looked like a red lobster from all the sun. I guess his support crew of 20 people got lost. Most of them had some sort of navigation in their cars but couldn't find the hotel, so John had to wait for them to catch up.

Turns out there was a women's shoe conference at the hotel where we were staying at, so the cougars (recently divorced women hunting for guys) were out in full force. Jerry was spotted there a few days before as his mug shot was left behind under the sign.

OUR FIRST RUN IN WITH THE LAW

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/joyride3.jpg


After the lunch stop, Deepak and I lose Brian and John in the Murci. We stayed around 100mph and they just took off doing 150+. I guess John was in a rush for his date in Phoenix. We were in no hurry at this point.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/TeckEast%20pics/845031889405_0_ALB.jpg


About an hour later in the desert on RT10, I spot Roy's blue Murci off on the side of the road. It was the brightest thing out in the desert besides the sun, lol! He wasn't parked on RT10. He was parked on an onramp, kind of out of sight. We thought that something was wrong so we pulled onto the shoulder and backed up the onramp. We also see the *EXTREME! M5 parked right behind them.

*We call the guys in the M5 "EXTREME!" because they're freestyle motorcycle riders that remind us of the white dudes in the movie "Harold and Kumar" >they kept yelling "EXTREME!" in the gas station store scene.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/TeckEast%20pics/954031889405_0_ALB.jpg


Turns out nothing was wrong. They were just parked there to see the rally cars go speeding by. But after 20 minutes, we only saw a 355 Spyder pass. We didn't know that half the cars turned around after lunch and headed back to LA. The 355 ended up waiting for us and all 4 of us headed to AZ together.

We take turns leading the pack. Our X-band on the V1 kept going off. It was strange because we didn't see anything in the desert that would be setting off the detector.

While I was filming the M5 and the 355, team EXTREME! really did something, really Extreme. They passed a rig in the median at over 110mph! I thought that they were gonna roll it. They successfully pass the rig and speed up! The guys in the 355 were pissed from all the debris that was thrown at them. We could care less in our rally scarred Porsche!


HOLY CRAP!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/TeckEast%20pics/JoyRideDay1-M5indesertresized.jpg


Deepak and I speed up around the pack, get in the fast lane, and slow down so I could film the 3 cars blow by the camera. The M5, 355, and Murci took turns showing off. The X-band came back on while we approached an overpass. We were doing over 120 when we spotted 2 partrol cars sitting on the onramp ready to attacked. We all slam on the brakes. We knew we were all caught. The lights came on and the cops sped up behind us.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/TeckEast%20pics/JoyRideDay1-Copsonramp.jpg



The first cop pulls up to us and motions us to pull on the shoulder then sped off towards the other cars. While we pull to the shoulder, the second cop flies by us. The rest of the group gets pulled together about 1/2 mile down the road. Deepak and I just look at each other.

Deepak: Should we make a run for it?

Dustin: Where the hell can we hide? We can't make it across the rocky median and there is nothing to hide behind. We are in the desert.

Deepak: How far back was the exit ramp where the cops were hiding?

Dustin: About 2 miles, why? Should we back up?


Without thinking about it, Deepak starts backing on the shoulder. I started to get really nervous because I knew there was nowhere to really go.

We get about a mile up the road when we see one of the cop cars pull back onto RT10, jet across the rocky median, and start heading back towards us. We immediately stop and I start hiding the camera equipment and switch out video tapes. Deepak starts looking for his registration and wallet. We just wait there in silence for the cop car to come up. I knew that we were going to get arrested for evading.

The cop car comes flying up and the cop yells, "hands where I can see them!" over the loudspeaker. We do what he asks and he comes up to my passenger window.

Cop: Why the hell are you backing up on a highway?

Deepak: Officer, you told me to pull over back there (Deepak pointed behind him). And I was just trying to get, 'back there'.

Cop: Tell me the truth. Were you guys trying to get away?

Deepak: No way officer. Where could we possible go? We are in a black Porsche, with stickers all over it, in the desert. It would be stupid for us to try to run away.

Cop: License and registration.


He seemed to lighten up a little, took our info and went back to his car.

Dustin: I can't believe you just said that. That was the funniest thing that I have ever heard! You said it without hesitating and you caught the officer off guard.

Deepak: We can only get a ticket for speeding. We can't get a ticket for being dumb. I wonder how the hell they knew we were coming?


We wait patiently and try to figure out how we got caught. When we passed the cops on the exit ramp they hit us with radar after we slowed down.

It only takes about 15 minutes for the officer to return to our car.


Cop: I wrote you down for 88 in a 70. You guys are lucky that I didn't arrest you for eveading.

Dustin: Thank you, sir.


The officer hands Deepak the ticket to sign.

Deepak: Can I ask you a question?

Cop: Yep.

Deepak: How did you guys know we were coming?

Cop: There's been a plane pacing you way up above.

Deepak: That explains it. So about how fast over the speed limit can a person go without you pulling them over?

Cop: Anything over the limit.

Dustin: Deepak, that has to be the stupidest question that I have ever heard.

Cop: I recommend you get a CB and talk to the truckers.

Deepak: What channel should I be on?

Cop: You are free to go.


We pull away laughing our asses off. Playing dumb actually paid off! We get up to the other cars that were pulled and beep at them. We decided to chill out the rest of the way to Phoenix. Deepak just fought a bad speeding ticket in AZ a couple weeks before so he couldn't risk getting another ticket there.

We arrive at the Valley Ho hotel around 9pm. We were one of the last cars to pull up. We get cleaned up and a go to a restaurant for dinner. We talked the to the other guys who got pulled over and find out that they only got speeding tickets for 87 in a 70. Our ticket was for 88. I guess we got a one mph penalty for trying to escape!

HA HA HA! "Causing Mischief For Dummies" -- sounds like a best seller to me! I love it! Dustin/Brian...this is the way all things should be written up. It's all so damn good! I can't wait for the next webisode...or whatever you wanna call it.

Could there be a Mischief Podcast in the works? I think you all have enough material to do so.

[Nexus]

Nice read, can't wait to see what will be the following.

[DirtyE30]

A Mischief podcast would be a mix of mischief.tv commentary and dtmpower radio music, which sounds like a great idea. make it so

[Olli]

I wanna read more !

SUNDAY - DAY 2 - TRACK DAY
PHOENIX, AZ
BONDURANT RACETRACK


Now I wasn't excited to go to Bondurant since the Murci was broke. When I learned that Evil John was bringing 3 trucks full of cars to race around and that he was allowing all of us take them on the track, I was skeptical. I was surprised when I got to the track and Evil John had his cars lined up for all of us. There were 2 Lotus Elise cars, 2 race prepped Lotus cup cars, the CLK DTM, the Cobra, the Bentley GT and the Maybach 62. Yeah thats right, he raced the Maybach around the track but he did take the 36 bottles of Cristal out of the trunk before hand. To top all that off, Evil John had one of his choppers fly in and film us ripping up the track.

Now that is straight up GaNgStA!

The silver CLK DTM was freaking awesome at the track! It made the best drivers smile when they got out, and the worst drivers look like they knew what they were doing. The regular CLK is a chick ride for me but after seeing this DTM version up close and on the track, I was sold! Its fat fenders and carbon fiber interior must be seen in person and the lack of rear seats and F1 paddle shifters tell you its no joke.

The car runs on 105 octane that's hard to find on a trip like this, so Evil John brought along eight 55 gallon drums of race fuel in one of his support trucks. Now if I only had 500k lying around and 105 octane fuel truck following me around I would be a true PlAyEr!

Evil John also brought a couple brand new Lotus cup cars. The cars were so new that this would be Evil John's first time driving them. After he wedged this 6ft 4inch frame in there, there wasn't much room for anything else, lol! I've driven a Lotus on the track before and there's no other car I can think of short of an F1 car that can keep up with this thing! It was crazy quick in the corners, and loud as hell in the straights. The CLK DTM was the only thing that could stay in it's rear view mirror.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/IMG_4344.jpg


After watching big John rip up the track in all his toys it was time for the rookies to test out their own cars. There was the newbie in a blue 355 that down shifted on the back straight and over-reved his engine causing the rear tires to lock up and he spun before he even reached the back corner. The car and embarrassed owner limped off the track as the trans was making a really bad clicking sound. His rally experience was over.

Then it was team EXTREME!'s turn. They took to the track in their "235mph 600hp" BMW M5. We all knew that these guys were going to do something crazy! First time on the track + 600hp = great video fun! The low profile tires, or better yet, rubber bands just screamed at every turn. Bets were being placed in the pit as to what turn and how long it would take for these guys to spin out. I was in for 20 bucks (2nd lap in turn 7) unknown to them the kitty got up to $400 before they got out there. If Evil John wasn't all ready racing his Cobra with his blow up doll passenger around the track, I am sure the pot would have grown by a factor of 10.

Team EXTREME! made it all the way around the first lap and came into turn 7 at a high rate of speed, with 25 or so onlookers along pit row snapping pics or videotaping. Now I'm sure you have seen the Arab drifting videos on YouTube before. Team EXTREME!'s driver Josh managed to do 4 high speed power S's in front of everyone and somehow recovered it! The people yelled "EXTREME!" when they went sliding by. Everyone geared up for round 2 as the M5 came back around the track. This time the "other" camera crew dropped their lunches and came running out of their tents. The chopper was in the air with a cameraman hanging out the side. Team EXTREME! came screeching through the last corner by the pits like an Arab drift video gone wrong. People scrambled for cover as the M5 starting drifting out of control and started to do 360s. Dirt went flying everywhere as soon as the car slide off the track.

I won the bet but the amount still didn't cover the Murci's gas bill from the day before! After the dust settled the only damage was that one of the rubber band tires came off on the passenger side. Team EXTREME!'s attitude was like, "F$A# lets fix it and do it again!". I looked over at the cheapskate in the orange Gallardo who was watching from his car and I said, "did you see that?" He replies, "Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere."

At this point, we were sunburnt as hell. Being from Canada, I was not use to the AZ sun so I jumped in the Maybach and went back to the hotel. Tough life, huh? :)

SUNDAY - DAY 2 - TRACK DAY
PHOENIX, AZ
BONDURANT RACETRACK


Deepak and I get to the track kinda late. Had a few, lot of drinks the night before and we overslept. For me, this rally was more relaxing than the others ones we have covered. It helped that Brian was doing most of the filming. i wasn't as stressed out as usual.

Deepak really didn't feel like taking the Porsche out on the track. I just jumped in several cars to film. I had no idea until the end of the day that I could have taken one of John's cars out on the track. Dammit. That's what I get for being late!

After Brian left, team EXTREME! brought out their dirt bikes and we did some videotaping on the track. There was a mini ramp in the middle of the track and I had this dude Jeff jump over my head a couples times. Got some killer shots.

When I finished shooting the stunt show, everyone was gone. Rally Bitch was taking pics with me and then disappeared without telling me. Luckily I had a friend from Phoenix to take me back to the hotel. Thanks guys for leaving me! Go team!

Get back to the hotel, change, and run to dinner. One of Brian's old rally friends shows up after dinner in his personal limo. He takes us to some club and we get the VIP treatment. Too bad there was only like 10 of us in the private room. Get back to the hotel hammered and decided to go into the garage and sticker up more cars. There was a competing film crew there with a rental Mustang. We put about 15 full-size Jerry head stickers all over it!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/2382766483_ORIG.jpg

We attacked Ashley's car with stickers too
http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_7132.JPG


The guy in the Gallardo didn't want to hurt his car on the track so we put caution tape around his car so no one would get near it.

We had our fun and went to bed. We were uncertained on how many cars were going with us to NM. The number of cars dropped like flies after we arrived in Phoenix.

[M34ever]

I love how the big guys I see around and read about on other forums all roll with teck now, roy, john, ecirkit, vralexander, we just keep taking over!

[Black Betty]

Who is this Evil John character and how do I get him my resume? I mean this guy has LOOOONG LOOOONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG money. "Here guys. Take my arsenal of cars out on the track. Have fun! Oh and this one here needs the fuel over there on that huge truck. Just gas it up before you bring it back. Now to go rip the shit out of my sweet Shelby Cobra." He sounds like the guy that every man wants to be and every girl wants to marry then divorce. LOL...but most of all he sounds cool as hell.

You guys make this sound like the best Mischief rally yet. BTW, who was/were/whatever the "other" and/or "competing" film crew? A Teck wannabe group or someone really there to document the goings on?

DAY 3
PHOENIX, AZ TO LAS CRUSES, NM
318 MILES



The next morning we have to go to Scottsdale Lamborghini to try to get the shifter fixed in the Murci and tell everyone that we'll meet them later down the road. Evil John would hear nothing of it and suggests we all wait as a group. We get to the dealership and find about 8 Lambos outside in line to get fixed. The dealership wouldn't look at the car for another week and were actually pretty rude to us. We decided to head over to the Lotus dealership a couple blocks away to see if they could help us. We arrive to find a couple Lambos being worked on in the Lotus service bay. I wonder if service at the Lambo dealer is so bad that people bring their Lambos to this Lotus dealer...

http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0443.JPG

The Lotus tech went to work and gave us a temp fix. To replace the entire shifter, it would take a week at the cost of $9,800.00. I guess if you can afford to buy the car, then you can afford to pony up for what should have costs $50 for any other automobile.

While we were at the Lotus dealer for 5 hours, we got bored and decided to slap some more stickers on the cars. We had some fake plates made and when everyone saw them they slapped them on there cars. Most of the cars on the run didn't have plates to start with, because they were from CA or running with temp tags/dealer plates.

Evil John got bored of waiting and decided he wanted to drive an Enzo the rest of the way. The problem was he just sold his yellow one and the red one he was trying to buy was wrecked. So he made some calls to a local guy who had a black one for sale. Evil John started working on the deal but the guy wouldn't give it up THAT day - he wanted to think about it. Evil John tells him that he has 2 hours then the deal is off and hangs up on him. The Murci gets done a few hours later thanks to all the guys at Lotus of Scottsdale. We take some quick pics of what is left of the drivers and some of our new friends and roll out to NM together.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07/IMG_4448.JPG

About 3 hours later we pull over at a gas station for lunch. As soon as we all park, AZ state cops roll up and start writing down everyones plate numbers. The cop sees Roys LP640 and writes down the fake plate on the front that reads "Mischief", then goes over to the CLK DTM and laughs at the front plate that says "Small Penis".

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/IMG_4544.jpg

The cop goes over to the Maybach that has 2 rear plates on it, and is so confused as to what plate is the real one. He then asks for the proof of ownership and finally figures out that they were all fake plates.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07/IMG_4428.JPG


The cop warns us that they were going to be waiting for us for the next 86 miles to the border and if we go over 74 mph we where going to jail. So Dustin and I decide to have a little fun with one of the cops when he wasn't looking.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0470.JPG

It was a slow and boring ride the rest of the way to Las Cruces, NM.

Our friend Rachel met us at our hotel in NM, she was driving back from the Express race in Mexico. We all had dinner at a dude ranch in the middle of freaking nowhere! There wasn't any alcohol served at this place so Evil John called up one of his drivers and had some bottles of Cristal and expensive bottles of wine delivered to us. Dustin got wasted really fast!



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/prova4re/IMG_0495.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/prova4re/IMG_0485.jpg

By the time we get back to the hotel, the local bars had closed so most of us just ended up hanging out front of the hotel by our cars. With no alcohol left, team EXTREME! busted out the fireworks and started passing them around. What started out as a little bit of fun quickly turned into roman candle war and no one was safe, not even the cameraman (me). Some lady on the 9th floor started yelling at us for being too loud. The next thing you know the bottle rockets were flying at her window.

After 30 minutes of this horseplay, I started to wonder why Dustin and the guys in the H2 Hummer had not arrived yet.

dun dun dun, way to leave us hanging there brian lol. this is like the best thread on here. i love the right up!

PARKED AT THE HOTEL
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/Teckademics/IMG_4629.jpg


Right before we got the hotel, Jerry called me to get the address of our hotel we were staying at in Austin. He was planning on flying in to meet us but didn't want anyone to know. I gave him the hotel info even though I didn't believe that he was actually coming to meet us.

During our dinner at the dude ranch (not that type of dude), I got really intoxicated. I was drinking the champagne like it was water. After dinner, Deepak and I rode with Ramy and his boys in the H2. It was a five mile trip back to the highway on dirt roads. I thought it would be fun to ride on top of the H2 through the desert. We piled about 5 of us on the roof, blasted house music, and jammed out while drinking Cristal out of neon colored plastic cups. We were weaving back and forth on this dirt road at a steady 35mph. All the weaving messed up my bladder. I had to pee really bad. When we got to the on ramp for the highway, I jumped off the H2 and ran out into the desert. As soon as I unzipped, the H2 jumped the curbed and started heading toward me. "Crap!" I ran from the H2 like a scared little bunny. There was nothing to hide behind! I was laughing so hard at the short bus trying to run me over. I managed to make it to the concrete incline of the overpass and climb up it. The H2 tried to do the same but couldn't make it up. I got to the top, flicked them off, and took a piss all without spilling my plastic cup of Cristal!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Q8eHCiXvs


We got onto the highway and was battling it out with a Kia Sephia with a "Got Jesus?" bumper sticker all the way to our hotel. It was a pretty sad but hilarious drag race. Once we got off the highway, we jumped back on the roof of the H2 and headed a couple blocks to the hotel. As soon as we pulled in the hotel parking lot, it was like the fourth of July! There was a crowd of 30 people and team EXTREME! was lighting fireworks. As soon as we pulled into the front of the lobby, the fireworks were aimed as us! We did a couple parade laps around the hotel before someone shouted "police!" and we all made a run for it to our hotel rooms. We all felt like we were in high school again and it was great!

TUESDAY - DAY 4
LAS CRUCES, NM - AUSTIN, TX
548 MILES



http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0468.JPG

We cross close to the border and the highway abruptly ends at a border check point, team EXTREME is leading the way as we pull into the station. There are a few border guards there asking what country your from. The BMW rolls into the check point and the k9 dog starts going crazy around there car, it even starts to jump into the rear window. We figure the dog smells all the fire works in there trunk that are left over from the night before, or at least we hope that is it. They tell the EXTREME crew to pull over, and wave us through, just then a cop cop jumps behind the crew and turns on its lights. We ask what is going on and the Border patrol tells us the girl in the 350 that was just thru here a hour ago warned us you guys where coming, he then tells us to go as all the attention has now turned to the BMW. Not wanting to break rule #1 We drive out and pull over a little ways down the road, to wait for our EXTREME wing man. We stop and wait for 45 minute until one of the passing motorist yell out they arrested your boys. Now that IS EXTREME!


We need gas so we go to the next exit and wait to see if they show up.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0444.JPG

After where done filling up this old couple came up and told us they have the BMW ripped apart and all the guys are in cuffs.

This rally just became a bad game of survivor as there where only 3 cars left, and the 350z just voted the BMW off.

At this point there is nothing we can do but move on to the lunch check point 2 hours away, as we get close to town there is a truck following us in our blind spot. Now the blind spots in a Murci are EXTREME, so its hard to see the big white truck with the gun rack in the back widow that we just cut off. We roll into this town in the middle of know where and start looking for the steak house, there are 5 of them in town and 4 are closed. This isn't a good sign and this white truck is still following us, we pull into the only open steak house and so does the truck.
The doors swing open and out jumps four mexicans yelling at us in spanish, I guess they loved the car and just wanted to take some pics with it.
We say sorry about cutting them off and decide to treat them to a steak dinner, after all its the least we could do.....and besides lunch is paid for by the rally and with no other rally cars left we decide to sticker up there truck to make it official.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0539.JPG


Turns out they had seen Jerry a day before we got there.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0545.JPG


Prime rib for everyone, we even make them get a few doggie bags to take home to there family.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0547.JPG


We need to catchup to Jerry


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0549.JPG

About a hour later as we were just getting done eating some of the support crew started showing up, we shook hands with them and handed them the bill ,as we left with our new friends and there doggie bags in tow.
We said our good byes and hit the road before the rally guys had a chance to read the bill.

Don't ask me how but I know this but the the Texas Rangers are no joke and will pull you out of your car with a M16 aimed at your head, for that reason we decide its in our best interest to drive in the safest manner possible. About a hour into our drive we run across the Rangers sitting there waiting for us, they pull us over right away. Some how we just happen to be doing the speed limit so they had little reason to pull us over, The Ranger said he had never seen a Lamborghini up close and he wanted a better look, we offered to switch cars for a day but he was having none of that. We took some pics with our new friends and the let us go with a fix it ticket for not having the plate in the right spot.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0574.JPG

We stop for gas again and my co pilot John pulls the ultimate wing man move, he gives me his keys to his brand new Lamborghini so I can give this hot chick a ride. He jumps in her the rental mustang and follows along, the 6 cylinder car was no match and some how we lose him along the way. About a hour later we drive past a couple Texas Rangers that where sitting in the median talking. As we fly buy we give him a case of whiplash, but some how they never came after us.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0566.JPG

About 10 minn later we get a text that John got pulled over for 105-mph in a 55-mph zone, I guess thats as fast as the Mustang would go.
We where running out of gas again to the point where the car was chugging up the hill, so we pulled over to this little store that had 1 gas pump,with 88 octane in it.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0563.JPG

http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07_brian/IMG_0560.JPG

We got 5 gallons and headed to the next exit, the Lamborghini didn't like it one bit, it was missing and would even go over 5000 revs. We get to the gas station and put 2 cans of octane boost and $80.00 worth of 94 octane just as John pulls up in the rental.
He was not a happy camper to say the least, the Rangers that pulled him over said there was no way they could catch us, so they took it out on him and wrote him up for the full 105-mph.

Looks like drinks are on me the rest of the trip.
We finally arrive at the hotel, as we pull up the door man opens our door and asks if he can lend a hand. I look up and there is Jerry!


We found him at last, or he found us.

The mustang pulls up right behind us with his face plastered all over it.

We went out drinking at a local club with what was left of the rally drivers and support crew, when this bachelor party walked in. Wasting no time they came over and asked us to buy them all drinks. Dustin fell for it and ended up a few hundred bucks lighter in the wallet, after he ran out of money they stared working the rest of the room until they over herd us talking about the Rally. Like true gold diggers they jumped right into our conversation with a million questions. Most of us played dumb and said we just worked for the rally, John was in the bath room so I decided to make up for the speeding ticket that he had just got by telling the girls that he was a tv star and he drives the Lamborghini that was parked in front of the hotel. The girls grabbed him as he came out and said they all wanted a ride in his car, John bought them all a round of shots and as he did I decided to sneak out and move his car around the block.

He shows up a few minutes later with 6 girls in tow all there to see his car that was no longer there, he freaked out at the valet guys for moving it. They explained they didn't even have the key so how could they move it, he called security and demanded they bring his car to the front of the hotel or he was going to sue them. 5 of the gold diggers started yelling at him for dragging them out in the rain to see his car that he didn't even own. They called him a poser and then left, the best looking gold digger stayed as the valet was her friend and said that he did have the car here a half our ago. The security guard came up and told him where the car was parked and they both went for a ride, about a hour later I herd the gold diggers voice at the door of our room. Not want to be like Richard the "Rally Bitch" I went and found another place to sleep that night.

TUESDAY - DAY 4
LAS CRUCES, NM - AUSTIN, TX
548 MILES


We were all surprised to see Evil John was leaving the rally with all his cars and his personal support crew. I really thought that this was the end of the rally. I really wanted to go to New Orleans and party! After a couple hours of discussions, we decided to continue on and head to Austin.

Right before we finished in Austin, Jerry called to tell me that he was at the hotel. I was really surprised that he actually made it. Right before we arrived, I told Jerry to act like a bellman and help John and Brian with their bags. The looks on their faces were priceless.

I had about 40 mins to shower up and eat before heading out to the bars. I met the guys down in the hotel bar. I tried ordering a hamburger but the kitchen was closed. I tipped the bartender a $20 to make me a quick burger. The burger tasted like crap and only ate half of it and we were off to drink!

After an hour, I got really trashed fast. I've been drinking too much this year so I know my torrence is pretty high. We only had a total of 90 mins to drink and in that time, I got anniliated. From what everyone was telling me, I was ripping paintings off the hotel walls, throwing stuff around and being a clown. Thank god I'm a happy drunk. I can't remember exactly what happened to me that night. I did make it to my bed and had some really bad dreams...

[Token]

Great write-up Dustin but Torrence?

[dead leG]

sucks what happened to team extreme. anyone find out why they were arrested?

WEDNESDAY- DAY 5
AUSTIN TX- HOUSTON TX
147 MILES



The next morning we went downstairs for the start, looked around and the only cars left were the 996, 350z, Lamborghini, and the yellow hummer. I went back to the hotel room and went back to bed. About a hour later I wake up to "Rally Bitch" shaking the hell out of me. He was yelling that we needed to go with everyone to the race track. Going to the track with an H2 and 2 support cargo vans didn't sound like a good time. I told Rally Bitch just to go ahead to the tra

About noon, I get back up to the sound of my cell blowing up. The Joy Ride guys left me 6 messages and Rally Bitch left me 4. They were all mad that the rest of us weren't at the track. The track was rented from 12pm to 5pm. I told them that we would arrive at the track after we grab a quick bite to eat. When Dustin, Deepak, John, Jerry, and Ashley got packed up, we all decided to skip the track event and go straight to Houston where Roy was meeting us. The Joy Ride Rally was over for the most part in our eyes since we were the only ones left. Come to think of it, the rally was over when Evil John bailed with all his cars, 3 semis, and 2 choppers. Our mission was to find Jerry and we did! In Austin. But unfortunately, we didn't have room for Jerry to come along with us so we put him in a cab to the airport so he could fly home.


It was a boring uneventful ride to Houston, but it did rain.

" We been through every kind of rain there is. "Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. "

It was student drivers day.


http://flatoutfilms.com/site/wp-content/gallery/joyride07/IMG_4690.JPG


We caught Dustin sleeping in Deepak's car. We called Deepak and he said that Dustin was very hung over and that he just passed out. We then signal to Deepak to start swerving from lane to lane to wake him up. We dropped back behind him to film. 2 lane changes later his hazards came on signaling us to pull along side of him. As we did we could see Dustin puking into a plastic bag. He filled the bag and Deepak pulled over and slammed on his brakes. Dustin didn't make it all the way out of the car before offering up his 200 dollar dinner from last night. We remembered Roys rule to pull over and lend a hand for some one in distress, so I again went running over to help out with my video camera. Dustin was begging us to take him to the hospital as he thought he had been drugged the night before or had alcohol poisoning. But that fell on deaf ears as we all knew better. Dustin was in the median in a fetal position wallowing in his own little puddle yelling, "I think I am going to die".

We get back on the road and get a call from Roy saying he is all ready at the dealer waiting for us and we need to be there by 5pm as they are closing. John said he had enough of this rally and he wants to drop off his Lamborghini at the dealership to get shipped back with Roys car. We then tell everyone else we need to fly solo so we can get there in time.

The next 3 hours of driving went by in a big hurry, the roads were flat and you could see for miles with out any traffic. We find a clean stretch and let it rip and hit 328km/h (203mph) for a few minutes, the gas gauge was dropping like a rock. We get to the dealer and Roy had all ready sold his LP640 to a guy and bought a baby blue Gallardo spyder. After that, we are the dealer's best customers as they broke out the wet bar and stayed open until what was left of the rally showed up.

The guys at Lamborghini Houston went out of there way to drive us to the hotel about a half hour away. When we get to the hotel, there were no rooms for us. The Joy Ride crew had canceled our rooms because we skipped the track, and on top of that the hotel was sold out. When we called the organizer to see what the problem was, he said since we didn't go to the track, our rally is now over and they don't have any hotel rooms for us. The Rally crew was still 4 hours away so we went to another hotel that had rooms about 45 minutes away. Funny thing is the Joy Ride Rally people had all of our luggage on there trucks, so we couldn't figure out why they had thought we all went home. We had to fend for ourselves for the rooms and dinner that night. This upset "Jenny" and she decided to bail out and go to the airport in the morning with John and Roy. For the first time on any vacation I have ever been on I went to bed before 9pm as there was nothing to do.

We woke up the next morning and went back to the Lambo dealership. Roy had to sign the paperwork on his new car. Turns out that Lambo North America wouldn't let him buy the baby blue Gallardo and take it out of state. So Roy had to leave back to WA empty handed. Deepak decided that it was his time to go back to MD so he left me and Dustin his 996.

That left me and Dustin in Deepaks 996, and the yellow hummer to finish the rally. We get a call that team EXTREME! had just got out of the pokey and flew into Houston to meet us. We meet up with 2 out of the 3 of them; the driver and the car were still getting held in New Mexico, and they wanted 25k to get them out. We made the Rally Bitch drive Jenny's 350Z to New Orleans. Rally Bitch was from NO so we figured he would lead the way. After the first hour of leading we never saw him again, he just took off and never looked back. Total rookie Rally Bitch move.

2 cars left. The H2 and the 996. When we got closer to the NO, we traded rides Rami and Edison that were in the H2. The seats were so comfortable in the H2 compared to the ones in the 996. Unfortunately for us, the radio amp was blown, the Nav screen had a crack in iit , and there was no AC! The H2 would only do 103 and drank way more gas than the 996 or Lambo. Needless to say, we never saw the 996 again until we got to the hotel in NO 5 hours later.

We roll up to the front desk at the finish line and run into the same problems. No rooms and no one from the rally was there to help us out. Rally Bitch was at his house and nowhere to be seen. I finally get a room after going through a list of people's names and lying to the hotel guy that I was Mr. Lopez.

Its late so Dustin and I head out to Bourbon street to tear it up, a few hours later we catch up to some of the support crew and a few from team EXTREME!

What a nutty rally!!!

[Hellrazer]

that sucks everyone pulled out like that. especially the race people. did you ever get your luggage back? lol

[DUSTIN WORLES]

Heading to the Navigator's Run. I'll try wrapping up this story on the road!

[DUSTIN WORLES]

Brian was in a hurry when he posted up the last part of the story. He rewrote it if you want to read it again. i will wrap this story up in a few.

[prova4re]

"Rally" Bitch" finally calls me and tells me to be ready at 6-am to go shoot a Mac F1 and a Enzo the next morning, I don't remember too much after that.
As we didn't get in until 530-am, I woke up it was 2pm and the Joy ride people wanted to go check out the 8th ward to see how bad the damage still is. We decided the 996 was not the car to drive through that area as it would draw too much attention, so we all piled in the Hummer.
The place looked like a ghost town, with a few trailers on the side walks that people are living in.
It was truly sad and humbling too see all the damaged and destroyed homes.
The Joy Ride is donating some of the entry fees too the Katrina fund, but after the tour it was clear that no matter how much money you donated it wasn't going to be enough. New Orleans will never fully recover from this, I just hope the cash goes to some thing positive in such a negative place.

It all ended 2500 miles later were it started, at the Bubba Gump Shrimp company.
No flag girl waving the checked flag in short shorts, no champagne to pour over some ones head. Just a valet at the hotel asking when the hot chicks in the exotics are going to show up.

Rule number 10 of Rally 101.........You must cross the finish line.

Dustin and I were the only drivers that did it, even the "Rally bitch" Richard didn't make it and he lives there. Even the seasoned Rally drives who know better DNF.
So now I struggle to come up with a conclusion to this Rally, it started out with a bang and quickly folded up like a house of cards. There are so many Rallies out there right now, that its tough to keep track of them all. The organizers were some on the nicest people you would want to meet, but in the "Rally world" its a game of one up-men ship and the nice guys didn't even make it to the finish line. We had a lot of fun along the way, it was a learning experience for ALL the people involved.

"That's all I have to say about that."............until the next Rally.

Lucky you.
We only get 98.
Remember, US is a special rating (RON+MON)/2, when in EU, it's RON only indicated.

I'd like to mod the ECU of my car. It's supposed to work with 95, and I'd like the ECU work a bit better with the 98 recognise in the fuel management.
