NEW YORK II: GTA ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Supercar rally founder, coked up to the gills, decided to party it up in New York City at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak. Taking advantage of relatively empty streets, he raced his $750,000 Gemballa Mirage GT at speeds up to 110mph up and down midtown Manhattan, wrecking almost a dozen cars and completely totalling his Gemballa before being arrested. Miraculously, nobody was injured or killed.

Gold Rush Rally founder Ben Chen describes the event as a “rolling party with over 200 of your friends’’ and “summer camp for adults.’’

The Gold Rush Rally is now in its eighth year and Chen is excited to bring the “rolling party’’ he helped start to his college town of Boston.

The event is a week-long cross-country adventure for auto buffs and exotic car collectors. This year, the rally kicks off from Boston’s City Hall Plaza.

“For someone from Boston who grew up here, I wanted to bring [the Gold Rush Rally] to the community, and not just to the automotive community,’’ Chen told Boston.com in a phone call.

On Friday afternoon, around 80 exotic supercars will be parked on Boston’s City Hall Plaza.

The vehicular lineup includes rare supercars like Bugattis, McLarens, Aston Martins, Lamborghinis and Mercedes-Benzes. All told, about $40 million worth of cars will be parked at Boston City Hall on Friday.


Several cars will be painted like superheroes for the Taylor Lynn Foundation, a nonprofit that offers “microgrants’’ for children in need. Superhero-themed cars expected to be at the show include Captain America, Spider-Man, Superman, the Hulk and Deadpool.

Hi Sheila, it's Michael with Bernie 2020!

During this crisis, nurses across the country have reported a lack of proper staffing, personal protective equipment (PPE), safety education, and even isolation rooms for COVID-19 patients. This is unacceptable. We must protect the health of workers who are called on to protect us. I stand with National Nurses United in demanding proper safety measures and equipment for nurses.

Will you join me by signing their petition?

Shelia's response: Michael, thanks for your timely message. I have been thinking the very same. However, the reason I don't have the proper protection is because of the Obama administration deciding to not resupply the PPE equipment that was diminished under the last pandemic(BIRD FLU) (which you must be painfully aware your candidate was a part of).

THE NEED FOR SOCIALISM IN THE COUNTRY IS ONLY IN YOUR MIND YOU MILLENIAL, SELF DESTRUCTIVE POS. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA will never be a socialist country as long as my husband is alive.

Go fornicate thy self.

Michael's response: Ok, I understand. Have a great rest of your day!
 
I got a text from those commie nurse union buggers the other day.

Told them I was a Christian, patriotic Constitutionalist American, that I would never align or support their commie leftist organization, and to please take it back to California

They have contacted before and I told them to stop.

This time I let them know to stop contacting me or I would press charges for harassment.

The did say they would remove me from their lists. I did not get a wish for a nice day. ?
 
I was following Sid Gilman (owned Chargers at the time), stopped next to me at an intersection in his red Vette, asked for some directions to a location that I gave him, he went on ahead of me, as we drove he started slooowly drifting to the right, I thought he’d correct but never did, his front right clipped a parked car, a fiberglass explosion, lucky not as fast as the one above he was ok.

guys who race on the track for real not 2 sundays a summer dont race in the street.
we used to hear about guys driving like morons on the way to the track and rip them pretty good.
a car with alot of HP is not a race care, but some guys have to make out with a tree or parked car to learn

Those tires were that old? Dang. Plus version I heard diagnosed as a small rise or a dip for storm drain on curb in the road on/before a curve, they lofted and lost ground contact at speed. Tragic loss Paul was good people from things I’ve heard. Rest In Peace. ?

i live in ny

the temperature wasnt even warm enough for summer sport tires yesterday to get up to temp.

a shaded street and 60 degrees outside they are still slick, no bite

then add to it that most of these morons get in the car and first thing is to turn off traction control..."because the car is faster"

asshole, the reason that traction control is cutting in is because you cant feel what the read end is doing (because your in over your head) and your loosing traction, so it cuts power

plus the carrera gt had very old school traction control to begin with, it wasnt even as sophisticated as the 911 of the same model year

the GT had ABS and cut power, none of the braking each tire to save your ass like cars have today

then add the carrera GT was known to be "skidish" on the edge thats why a lot of guys dont track them

and just for giggles...when cresting a hill or hump the steering wheel is strait

driving rules 101: your looking past the bump where the car is supposed to go not get to the top and turn the steering wheel

I didn't know about the 10 year old tires, that's fucking ridiculous. They would have no fucking grip what so ever. If I am lucky I can get my Hoosier R7s to last 17 heat cycles on sprint races here in Texas. After 12 heat cycles the tire become practice tires only as the grip sucks. Racing on the street is stupid as shit. Too many variables to take into account to risk your life.

As mentioned here many guys think adding HP makes their car fast. I have seen Miatas on track faster than Mustangs, Corvettes and Porsches; power doesn't equal skill. Another skill that is over looked is setting a car up to track it. Too many people add a super charger or turbo to a car and run around with the factory suspension or worse, pick up cheap suspension parts and making the cars geometry far worse. On top of the fact that the have never every got coaching from a pro coach. Not knocking HPDE instructors as they have a purpose, but they don't coach like a pro driver does.
 
There are no Coronavirus deaths in China since the first few thousand.

that’s because the moment you show symptoms, you are shot.

there are currently 21,000,000 deaths by lead overdose this year in China, however.

Wondering if you came up with 21M arbitrarily or read the same article I did.
