    I would wear these with pride only equaled by a high schooler with a rented prom tuxedo. #tshirt

    I have two suggestions for your T-shirts:

    l. Tape or pin them to your garage walls.

    2. Have some quilts made from them. Then you could raffle them off and donate proceeds to charity. #tshirt

    @Murilee Martin: Old t-shirts get stretchy and stretchy stuff doesn't work well on quilts. I had an old collection of 60s/early 70s Fender t-shirts--Fender has brought back some of them, but not all of them, strangely enough. We tried various ways to save them but the only one left is "The World's Favorite Love Machine" with some cartoonish birds and bees on it--after seeing the rest fail as pillows, throws and such, I can tell you that this kind of material is really made for t-shirts, period and I'm glad I didn't risk the "Love Machine" one, which is currently in hiding in the bottom of a drawer. #tshirt

    You could probably start an internet T-shirt business with these designs and do handsomely with it. #tshirt

    You know, I haven't called the junkyard to ask, but I'm betting a Porsche 928 *frame* is worth more than 500 bucks. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Jim Hubert: We have a copy of the Craigslist ad asking $250 for the car.. And we've since found 5+ 928s for under $500.. one even runs! Not that we bought them, but when friends and 928 enthusiasts (or haters, this LeMons) knew we were building one, we were deluged with e-mails and Craigslist leads. We bought 2, a 79 found on Craigslist for $200 and a 84 found across from a friends house for $256 (the price was $260 but we were $4 short on pickup) One was stripped out and in pieces, the other was a theft recovery with a slipped timing belt and totally screwed up wiring. The 79 was our first choice to run, as it is light and has a 5 speed, but the K-jet injection was missing too many parts and we just couldn't get it on track for under $500, and we'd have to build a wiring harness to boot. So, onto the the automatic 84, a complete L-jet car, with some seals, o-rings and a timing belt our total is just over $400.. no BS. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Evil_Genius: Oh, and we also found $1.39 in change and a 14ct gold ring in the car. We sent the ring to a re-refining company and will be getting a check to apply to the budget soon. Did I mention the way-bitchin Sky-Tel pager we found as well? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    I knew it was a matter of time until an XJ showed up.

    Also, gotta love the Crown Vic team who named themselves "Save the Whale". A guy on tB calls his "POWERWHALE", and I endorse that as well. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    When I first saw Phil Frank was going to be at the race I thought the creator of 'Nigel Shiftright' was back from the dead and ready to do battle on the racetrack. So is this his son? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    That Alliance looks pretty sweet, or as sweet as any Alliance can be. I remember the GTA versions being pretty astounding handlers, so this should be interesting. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    The Alfa love makes me happy. The cars are getting what they want and the mechanics are getting to curse in various languages again.

    I am willing to award bonus points for any team that curses the entire time they're fixing their alfa... IN LATIN!
