Craigslist Cup Rally


  • The Wanderwell Society 2481 Lincoln Boulevard Venice, CA, 90291 United States (map)

This rally is for Wanderwell Members only. So join us already!

Ever wanted to do a Top Gear-style challenge in a cheap car? Do you like Type-2 Fun? Do you know how to patch a radiator hose with bubble gum and guano?

Well we have the event for you! Join us for our biggest event of the year, where we go destroy some cars in the desert and have fun along the way.

We're keeping the details a secret until you arrive, but here's the gist:

Step 1 - Create a team from one (you lone wolf) up to four people.

Step 2 - Buy a car for less than the Police Auction maximum ($3625).

(Here's a list of all LA impound auctions, and you know where Craigslist and Marketplace are)

Step 3 - Meet us in the desert for a series of surprise challenges and tasks over the weekend from the 28th-30th.

Step 4 - Party at the hotel!

You don't need an offroad car or anything special. Just cheap, cheerful, and disposable.

You will sweat, swear, and most likely curse our mothers, but you will remember this forever.

The full (and ever-changing) rules can be found here:
THE RULES

Hotels and meals are not included in the ticket price, but we'll keep those reasonably cheap. After all, it's Palm Springs in August. Hotel block details will be shared with those who sign up.
