[IS300eR]

what did U do, lend your car out?

i would have delivered the vehicle myself to SF if I didn't have to be in Vegas, but anyways, that is the car, and yes, it's driven by no other than Max Ryan himself (from the upcoming newly filmed- Death Race), along with other Puma's Official Celebs (David Hassleoff, Orlando Jones, Tyson Beckford...etc and more).

and yes, it definately looks a lot different than the last time you saw; yet it's also not the first time i've whipped out fresh rides in such a short time frame.

like i've said, this is just the beginning.

and Scott, I did much more than just sponsoring the vehicle, and unfortunately I cannot give the classified details on the public forum due to contract restrictions.

guys, there are constant updates from www.pumagumball.com even right now as i type! so check it out for more updated pictures!

and here's one of many videos about the event on youtube, you can see the RRS from 1:09 ~ 1:16 before the police officer told the videotaper to back it up:
