144B suffered a setback courtesy of I-40 in New Mexico. Just east of Tucumcari around 4am Mountain, the M5 lost pressure in a rear tire. Given that the spare in the car was for the front and wouldn’t clear the rear Brembo caliper, Alex, Liz and Andrea had no choice but to call for a flatbed to haul the Interceptor into Amarillo, Texas for a tire change. We’ll update you as soon as they’re back on the highway. In the meantime, are they brave enough to tackle the 72-oz. steak?
UPDATE: As of 13:27 CDT, the crew was back on the road, across the Texas Panhandle and headed for Oklahoma City.

At 12:41 PM today, Alex, Liz Moses of the "80-in-40" campaign and Gumball 2007 veteran Andrea Zurek set off from the Standard Hotel on the Fabulous Sunset Strip in 144B. Their destination? The World Class Driving event in French Lick, Indiana, home of Larry Bird and former location of the Pluto Water bottling plant. Celtics, laxatives and the Polizei? Oh my!
Here’s Edmunds’ take on the WCD experience, and here’s Motor Trend’s. Ours, of course, will follow shortly. Only 2030 miles to go as of 14:07 PDT!
