I was just walking on my way to the airport shuttle in Stockholm, Sweden, and outside the train terminal there was a bunch of strange looking cars parked, all painted with the text "GumBall3000" and some logos.
One all chromed Mercedes SLR, Aston Martin DB9, Dino, another Aston, another Mercedes...they kept coming.

I wonder what that was...
