    i would demand at least $1000 for taking a sebring, and even then i'd feel like i was cheapening myself.

    That's just hilarious, yet sad.


    You know at least one of those big guns is scratching their head and asking "maybe"

    Vehicles produced by your firm are frequent participants.


    How many of the cars in the last LeMons race were actually built and sold under the leadership of these three?


    Lutz has only been with GM since 2002, and the other two are newer to their positions than that...

    @Cognitive Friction: The Dodge Neon's platform was just recently axed, we've had a couple Rangers, I'm sure there's been W-bodies... to say nothing of the Panther platform.


    If we're talking about "cars they still build", no question about it.

    Too bad the pitch is in the dirt. You can't hit a Fortune 500 CEO with a low-ball ask. Gotta go with a $100,000 minimum, per race fee. Otherwise, all your publicity might have to read:

    LeMons 24 hrs, possibly Sponsored by Ford!

    Because nothing wads up into a ball faster than a Ford Focus hit by a Lincoln Town Car! Built Ford Tough.


    See how it works?

    I rec'd this email, since I'm on the LeMons mailing list. Pretty funny. Fuck, man, if you're the head of a multi-national multi-billion dollar organization and you can't take a joke, well, tough.


    Sorry. Its 5 o'clock, I'm still at work, undercaffeinated, and a bit punchy.

    I really, really, really, (I'm practically begging like a little kid) want to see an official response from this. I hope they take it as the joke it is meant to be. Otherwise, send me two sebrings, and I'll enter two teams into LeMons.

    Awesome. Chrysler needs to take them up on this to help them burn thru their 100+ day inventory.

    If it were Nardelli, I'd be laughing. He's the only one, IMO, deserving of executive-level ridicule.

    @rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: I'd contend that the '86 Caravan my parents had when I was a kid was the "dick move" for me personally, but if you're arguing that two wrongs don't make a right, I won't go against that.

    I don't know if its a coincidence or on purpose, but Jalopnik always seems to have a new post at 4:20 every day. It cracks me up just thinking about it.


    -"Duuuude, its like LeMans, but its LeMons...OOOOOoo.."


    -"Gnarly, bro, toss me the doritos."
