10 days until Lemons Rally

After borrowing cars for the first two Lemons Rallies this year we’ve been “given” a car, under the condition that I sell it after the rally and split the money with the previous owner (anyone know how to split a penny?). Any guesses what it’ll be? Here’s a few super vague hints to start you off:

1) Rear drive

2) Terrible seats

3) The interior looks and feels even older than it is

4) Has done more miles than you’d expect, but still less than 100,000

5) Gonna dominate

(don’t ruin it if you already know)

I have a pretty good idea of what it is from Facebook and I’m just going to say there are so many good themeing opportunities for it.

There’s still going to be a joke to find when you look closer, right?

I mean us pretending to be legitimate is a joke in its own right, but yeah, there will be Easter eggs

That would be the coolest way to not finish the rally

I am trying to think of RWD cars you don’t expect to make 100,000.

The infamous AMC Rambler Lemons racecar?

You’d finish. Eventually.

The interior looks and feels even older than it is

Makes me think small truck, as those can go for decades without a refresh (looking at you Nissan D21, but talking to everyone), but those really can’t be had for budget...

Nah, someone already did that last year

There’s no price cap on the rally. I could show up in a Veyron if I wanted, I just wouldn’t get points for it

Ok... so the one in October is coming through my city. I might... have to do it. In the Saab. For the lulz.

Dusty Ventures > Akio Ohtori - RIP Oppo
01/18/2018 at 15:47

I would. I mean that one is basically the ultimate excuse to do Route 66

It is pretty tempting, especially since we aren’t doing a cheap car challenge this year... I guess I’ll see where the Saab is at in a couple of months.
