What would you buy for $500 or so to race in a LeMons race?

I think I'd find a beater Impreza and paint it up like the rally car.



It'd be reliable and generally pretty nimble and stout.  I think my team name would be Team Boxer Beater...or Team Ischial Ulcer.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

Gotta watch what you can get for those prices, and if it's too nice, it could get confiscated and destroyed.

I really liked my buddy's team Porcubimmer:

FB or FC RX7 with a semi-"blown" engine... with any luck the engine would be carbon locked and by the end of 24 hours be running better then it did starting the race  :tounge:

No, [he's] just got tired of fighting the ignorance for so long that [he] just [jokes] about it. but I can guarantee you that people that say it to [his] face don't get treated with any sort of respect afterward.

I built and drove cars like this for years:



it gets tiring, even if all you want to do is ignore the idiots. But when someone you respect says it?

You can't change the minds of non-car people. But car guys on car boards? That shit needs to stop.
