    Watch me, your local Ferrari 512 TR owner and attorney for traffic tickets (among other areas of law) on Spike TV's new car rally based reality TV show tonight @ 10 PM on Spike TV. I competed in the show with my friend Jeff in his 2003 40th Anniversary Lamborghini Murcielago. Retired wrestler Bill Goldberg is the host. Check out www.spiketv.com for more information on the show, the cars and the drivers.

    so tell us about the experience, id say maybe work on saving the car more though, less smoky burnouts and less throttle to save gas, and less during the slaloms and such too much power on oversteer, and spining looks cool but ultimatly its alot slower . car looks and sounds great though

    I'll get on to the experience soon. Not my car, so I didn't do the burnouts. We couldn't speed so we didn't use the throttle much. And the slalom was at 3:30 in the morning in October on a very cold track.

    Overall experience was fun, but very grueling at times. The first day we were awake for about 26 hours before going to bed. More later...

    Yup! It came out of nowhere. And the sound it made when we hit it.....damn it was loud. After we stopped, one of the camera guys found it, picked it up by the tail and placed it in front of the car. It was a large raccoon.

    Perhaps swerving into the Racoon for the "fur weight" ?

    not to be a party pooper. i just think the show is too much like fear factor.

    Although i watch both. id like to see raw footage of the rally. to me that is more exciting but then again probably wouldnt be allowed for tv.

    Funny you say that - the stunt coordinator on Bullrun did the stunts on Fear Factor. And yes, I think the raw footage is better.

    sorry to see the lambo get eliminated last night. so is that damage on the hood from those light tubes you guys were smashing before ? did that cause damage or was all of that from the racoon ? what other damage is done to the car besides the clutch the driver was saying 60 in damage so far.

    During the interview process we of course asked about car damage. We were told that it would be normal wear and tear as long as we did everything like they told us to do. Um, I don't think driving through light bulbs and glass is normal wear and tear.....

    I am sure you got paid for doing it? A nominal fee for the damage cause no doubt?
