**Comeon Chappie! A Weekend of Adventure**
As we embarked on our adventure to the Gambler 500 in Portland, Oregon, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. "Comeon Chappie!" echoed through my mind as we prepared for what promised to be an epic weekend.
"We are f*cked!" was my initial reaction when I saw the car we were about to race in - a Toyota Corolla that had been converted into a rally car. The founder of the Gambler had hooked us up with this sweet ride, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that it wasn't going to be easy.
"Oh we are f*cked! This is not a good idea." Those were my thoughts as I gazed at the car's rough exterior. "I'm ready and I'm not afraid." I thought to myself, trying to muster up some courage. "But I'm not really an outdoors boy," I admitted, "I'm more of an inside man."
As we began our journey, I couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable in the cold. "This was my idea, what am I doing?" I asked myself, realizing that maybe I had bitten off more than I could chew.
Despite my reservations, we were determined to make the most of this adventure. We took a moment to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings, and then it was time for us to get back on the road.
Before we embarked on our journey, we wanted to give a shout-out to our sponsors, AutoTempest.com. If you're in the market for a new car that won't break the bank, or if you want to upgrade from a regular ride, AutoTempest is the place to go! They search every major platform, including Craigslist, eBay Motors, Car.com, and more.
With our sponsor announcement out of the way, we were ready to hit the road. We were in Portland, Oregon, about to tackle 500 miles of off-road racing in a $500 car that had been lovingly converted by the founder of the Gambler.
As we set off, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation. "This thing sucks," I said to myself, trying to make light of the situation. But then I looked at our trusty ride and felt a surge of determination.
"I think that's a family of ferrets living in it," I quipped, as we opened up the door to inspect our vehicle. And indeed, they were! "This thing's gonna eat terrain!" I exclaimed, trying to be optimistic.
Our journey was off to an interesting start, but we were determined to make the most of it. We'd learn how to drive in this car, and eventually, we'd become rally experts. Little did we know that our adventure would take us on a wild ride...

It wascoughing...Sounds clean, sounds clean.Yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhboiiii.I think this is a car that will justcontinue to surprise you.We're back on the road becauseyou can't really drive through Portland off-road.It's getting dark and we're about an hour and half from camp.It's a real party baby!!!This is one of the scariest ordeals ofmy life.It's literally the darkest I've ever seen at anything in my life.The headlights on this car point straight to the sky.We had to get out and rig them so now they point straight at the roadwhich is a little bit better.We can just see the reflections on the lineand it looks like we're flying through like warp speedEvery time another car passeswe can't see anything for a couple secondsSo hopefully we make it to camp.Uhh, there's a malfunction with our brake lightsso some are going blue and some are going red.So you do you have brake lights when you touch the brakesbut the one on the right side is broken out or something.Let me just run a couple things, I'll be right back.If we don't finish this with ChappieI'm gonna be really sad.I'd rather have Bart arrested than Chappie towed.If you're interested in fixing this,we are handing out these vouchers that are good for 20% off...Other than that, try to have taillights when you're driving at night.Thank you sir!How much is our ticket?It's not a ticket.We don't have a ticket?He said be careful.Blue lives matter dude.Holy shit, we ended right behindthe guys that we started right behind!Literally that car in front of us was the carthat we were behind we got in line in the starting line!What a magical day!We made it! We made it to camp,after all that we're here.We made it to camp, lots of trials and tribulations.The cops tried to stop us--we did it.Nature tried to stop us--we did it.It was lots of fun. Whirlwind of emotions.Chappie tried to stop us a few times--we did it.I don't know if we went exactly500 miles, but we went a lot of miles off-road.And for a 97 brokenCarolla.Everyone here's great.It's just like a big family hereIt's great to be a part of it.I'm really proud of the dudes,I'm really proud of myself,but I'm really really proud of that little car.We're ready to get going.Ready to tear some--tear some tracks just back to a hotel.Cause I'm done camping.I'm excitedto come backbecause we're definitely coming back.I think we're gonna have a renewed senseof selfand the Car Boys are gonna realizelife's a partyAwwwwAwwwwwwwGot---Awwww!We gotta get this detailed before we go to Checkpoint 8!
