That’s me driving the orange E30 at 4:04! Ignore my shirtless friend in lederhosen blowing the camera a kiss.

Guys, could we get a new rule in the LeMons rulebook that says large googly eyes on the headlights are mandatory equipment?

I’m always looking for any reason to post this video from one of the Sesame Street E30 drivers. #AftermarketExhaust

Only people who don’t race lemons think that the $500 rule is anything more than a rough suggestion. Very few cars are anything near a $500 car. I haven’t seen a $500 bmw e30 in ages, but lemons is full of them. Lemons is more about having a good time with a fun theme’d car than it is about having a car that only cost…

can somebody un-gray this american hero?

Yep, that’s my current project. Probably will show up at the Sept lemons race at Thunderhill if we can finish putting the motor together, the transmission works, if we can finish the fuel system and we can finish building a brake system for it. So basically everything. Business as usual.

This is now my most favorite video in the history of ever. Thanks, Andrew—you’ve reminded me that LeMons has only gotten better since I went to watch it back in 2006.

Great. Now where's that damn 911-powered 411?

You know you can sell things off of the car to offset the $500 price tag, right?

Completely awesome car. A heavy diesel power plant in a vehicle with a shake that booty weight problem is brilliant. Plus it's a thumb in the nose of 911 snobs everywhere. So much Win.

I dunno. I think some of the cars are built more in the spirit of fun than in the spirit of winning a race. Putting a heavy diesel engine in the back of a car with a shake that booty rear end weight problem is self policing in a way. Would you want to drive that? :)

Front spoiler, R Gruppe decal on frunk, googlie-eye headlights, what's NOT to love here?

Extra points for the RS-style script.

There's a diesel stack coming out the back so I'm guessing the engine is still in the rear.

A member of the car club I belong to attended the Geneva Auto Show this year. He made a point to post tons of pictures of the "booth babes" and a lot of the guys in the club gave thumbs up and commented on the pictures. I said that I wished the whole "booth babe" thing would go away, citing the same points made…

I take it you're the kind of guy who gets defensive if a male friend attempts to hug you...

Because you're worried that people will think you're into dudes? The umbrellas play a real purpose, and you're willing to boil in your car rather than get shade from a guy? Sounds like your priorities as a racer are incorrect.

I love this idea SO MUCH.

Tolerant of people who assume my ovaries somehow prevent me from either turning a wrench, or melting rubber on the race track, yes. :)
