My brain donor was named Abby something. Abby Normal.
448 miles at speed on track, no contact, no offs, no blag flags for driver errors.
No Spirit of LeMons? After you guys drove it all over NYC and deemed it the most attention-getting car ever?
Spirit of LeMons, of course. Bias? What bias?
I guess my Knob Level = PRO
Yeah, the problem with building a car in two weeks flat is that you can't always get every detail perfect, no matter how much you want to. I expected to have woodgrain vinyl options, but the only thing I could find locally was 20" woodgrain vinyl with the grain running the wrong way. It would look worse piecemealed…
It's supposed to be delivered via tow dolly by a fellow LeMons racer this weekend. I'm thinking a coat of gloss white, limo tint all around, and some chrome wheel covers will complete the look. Then, on to crashing HS proms for a hilarious video!
@my7eatsv8s: I'll update the site with pics and vids as we go. It ran for about 4 seconds on Saturday, just on starter fluid. I need to clean the fuel system out and try again Thursday.
@7Dust: Some of us saw through the vague auction description and abysmal cell pics. Others are only beginning to realize that they missed out on a $100k supercar for under five grand because "no title" and "unknown running condition" were less than ideal factors.

@dmckoltrane- my JK doesn't hydrolock: Thanks. Pic gallery is linked on www.speedycop.com, and also on streetsafari.com
@jphilb: Not if the Ackermann angles are properly calculated...
@Porschephile™: Editor made a boo-boo. Waiting for it to be fixed!
@Skidracer: I plan to street it before it does LeMons. And you are correct, it needs no theme.
Maybe I should call it the F24 Street Fighter. Two 12 A rotaries = 24, and it clearly screams fighter jet inside.
@JayhawkJake: Maybe he was sick of working to shave weight on every aircraft component, so he went the other way on the materials for this? The fighter jet-like cockpit and gauges/buttons, the safety-wired bolts, the poly locknuts throughout—-it all just says aircraft engineer to me.
@Wolc Lupin: Of course not. This car is legendary!
@shaun_008: Justin (the Jalop editor) got it wrong. The temporary name is Project G.L.C.O.A.T., for Greatest LeMons Car Of All Time. It;s pronounced "gel-coat", as in fiberglass gel-coat.
