Now THAT'S an Outback!

My dad's nickname is "Crash" for all the ... brilliant ... shit he's done behind the wheel. He's had some actually great cars (67 Firebird 400 and a 70 Cutlass Rocket 350) but some totally awesome beaters as well.

Hello my friend! would you like to buy a leather jacket? Very nice. I give you good price my friend. How about a nice car? No?

Sebring Convertible for only $37,365!! Only a few thousand more than a new 5.0 Mustang GT convertible!

@Ford Tempo Fanatic: I didn't have such a terrible experience with S-10's. The 4.3 was pretty decent for what it was.

@skulldriveshaft picasaweb and youtube: They're not all bad, except when maintained by municipal employees. My dad even considered wrecking the thing in a snow storm so they'd give him another car. He says some poor soul is still driving it.

One of my best friends in college Matt came from the Boondocks of Tennessee and drove a 1989 Mazda 626 that he bought for much less than his semesterly bar tab at the campus pub.

@skulldriveshaft picasaweb and youtube: Thankfully it wasn't real excitement but 3am I'd do anything to race Lemons excitement. I'm still scared from riding in my dad's company Tempo with broken power windows and a broken A/C on hot summer days.

@The Dead Inside Group of Companies Limited: Last night I found myself up until 3 am looking for a 89 or 90 Caravan turbo. I thought it was rock bottom - until I started getting excited about a Ford Tempo Diesel.

Every time theres a LeMons post on here, I spend hours on crazedlist looking at ads for CARS THAT RUNS BUT THINK NEEDS WORK CALL FRANK OR VINNY despite not having a garage and living in a 400 sq ft apartment in a city. FML

I'd rather drop some extra money and get an Ariel Atom

Somebody please rescue that LSx and put it in something deserving (E30, 914, 944, Gen1 F body, XJ, ideas?) and crush the rest. This is the Voldemort of vettes - its soul has been ripped into too many pieces to be salvaged.

Jeez, the shift boot looks like balls. Literally.

I rode in a Suburban set up with tracks like this in Yellowstone Park. Really an amazing vehicle and more practical than an H2!

@anthromt: This is how I remember it growing up. My mom actually got to tour it at its worst.

My hometown of Worcester MA was plagued terribly by urban renewal projects in the 70s/80s. Most of downtown was torn down and replaced with a terrible mall without any street level shops.

The sedan still looks like a Kia Rio sedan, only angrier.

This is why automatic Corvette's should not exist.

911 LS1 with a Typhoon intake. Very sexy. Also note the custom radiator in the whale tail.

I've always wanted to modify a Prius by making it mid engined with an old 454 with carb and straight pipes. The key to this is leaving the exterior bone stock, complete with coexist, world wildlife fund, and Obama bumper stickers. Imagine the shocked looks of yuppies after a massive burnout in front of Whole Foods.
