In my research for the Gumball 3000 I ran across a guy named “erickonphoenix”… turns out he made the news here in Houston:
You can see the rest of his videos here on Youtube.

About my car for the Gumball 3000
So many people have been asking about the car I’m taking to the Gumball 3000 that I figured I’d make a blog post about it.
Behold the Cadillac XLR-V I’m taking:
Some minor drive-train mods were done… including a cold air kit, a computer reprogramming, and an exhaust bypass switch… with those mods I should be pushing north of 500bhp and its much more fun to drive with the changes:
Blinder M25 laser jammers were installed in the front:
And in the rear:
Inside, I have a Valentine One radar detector, a Uniden BCD396XT radio scanner, a Midland 75-822 CB radio, and a Garmin nüvi 760 navigation unit with FM traffic and Trapster data loaded in it. (You’ll also see the cradles for the Blackberry’s on the dash as well.)
Oh, there’s also a small Linux computer recording the GPS info (lat, long, alt, speed, and heading) and a webcam taking shots every second of the road ahead – but I’ll write more about that later in another post…
Things that didn’t make it were the new sway bars and headers I ordered but ran out of time to install…
Finally it was picked up and transported to Santa Monica for the start…

Car webcam installed for Gumball 3000
I set up a little Linksys NLSU2 (aka, "slug") to take a snapshot of
the road ahead every second and tag it with GPS data.
