Uhm, not exactly sure. However there were stretches where we were going flat out ~120mph on the freeway for a few miles at a time when we could see far enough ahead of us and there wasn't much traffic in the way

I seriously considered entering, but never got around to it, and despite what I tell myself, I'm too attached to my car's pristine condition.

Not quite true - the $20k is the buy-in amount per-car for the
7-day rally, not the reality show (it's okay, people confuse the two all the time). While it's true you need to get yourself to the reality show starting line and home once you're kicked off, when you're actually shooting you get per-diem and are provided hotels, meals. There's no entry fee for the reality show. The main thing is taking the time to do this - could be a month of shooting

I think the fence was stupid. Seriously.... why a fence? Why not a wall of lawyers?

It's made very clear to all contestants that they should be willing to sacrifice their car's good looks if they want to compete in this race. You obviously wouldn't be a good contestant :P Neither would I. Fun to watch tho!
Anyways, regarding this last episode - I loved how Goldberg ripped all the teams a new one cause Wu pulled one over them all again. Awesome! Go Team Wu! Those guys are hilariously mischievous in the real rally too.
