This was the 3rd Gumball Rally that I've been on and this one was another great time. We started in San Francisco then made our way down to San Diego and finished the US leg up in Las Vegas. The rest of the Gumballers went on to North Korea then China for the Olympics. I was driving with my friend Dan (Vivid Racing) in his 997 Twin Turbo Porsche (520 hp at the wheels). I had such a fun drive on Route 58 leaving San Fran. and I have to thank Dan for having such a well balanced car that handled the twisty roads well. I think Dan had a harder time with it. We were running with an Audi R8 and a Gumpert super car (check out the pics of this car). Every time I looked in the mirror (yes he was behind me not in front of me,haha) I thought Batman was after me. Normally I wouldn't drive someonelses car like I did but I was living in the moment and it was a sweat one. Plus Dan has his own shop and I figured he wanted me to test out his project car. Go to VividRacing.com to see more of what his shop has to offer. Thanks Max and Julie (Gumball 3000), Vivid Racing and last but not least Stephanie for giving Jarod a hall pass to Vegas. Check your mirrors........
