    Okay, if I get the license plate "Chëëtüß" for our car, will we get penalized just because?

    Perfect.

    So if teams sell shirts, Judge Martin, can they use the money as a free space? Up to a limit, of course, because some of those guys would be 'selling' hundreds of them.

    I should buy one of these for when a current or future 240 of mine ends up Windsorised. Just store it in the closet until then... my low-mile (199k) B230F isn't quite up to par.

    Oh hell, what do I care, it's amazing anyway. I wear my Black Metal shirt only on special occasions...

    @MushyHeirloom: Much the same. Once I get my earning potential back from the cragged jaws of the recession I will be swapping a V8 into my current or future 244. I, too, will require this shirt when that time comes around. Maybe a bumper sticker version too.

    The traveling cracks look cool, but I thought they banned demolition derbies at these races. Looks like a self preformed pi manuver similar to Killer Bee's. I thought the engine was going to get damaged from that. Nice that everything turned out ok and those Volvos sure are tough.

    @87CapriceEstate: LeMons races have very little contact these days, especially compared to the old Altamont era. I'm not going to speculate on who might have been at fault in this particular wreck, since I know both teams well and they're all excellent drivers.

    @bacon117: Judging from the tower off to the left, the MG got it a bit earlier, but yeah it appears to be right in the same general vicinity. Same general area that the Triumph spun out in & got a subsequent love-tap from this same V8olvo, too.

    So the Faster Farms Fury claims another score--they should paint these on (what's left of) a fender.
    Again, surprising lack of profanity. I admire such Stoicism.

    I've been considering an old 240 for a first car (I'm first car shopping, what "fun" ) and this gives me all the more reason to consider one.

    @Straight6er: Yeah me too and lemme tell ya my Craigslist area sucks. All the dealerships clog up space, its impossible to find a cheap used car (this is made worse because I work for the paper- so I see all the dealerships' ads over a thousand times every day!)

    Also I'm sorely dissappointed by the lack of Probes and Celicas in my area.

    @underwear-ninja: I hate when dealers do that. But you can email some of the ad info/ID to Craig's List help thread, and they can make them go away. You can also just select out "dealer" ads.

    Wow that was one really nice aluminum radiator! Wonder how that didn't count to as part of the $500? I have to say this might be one of the top 10 worst decisions ever caught on film. The driver couldn't just stay out of the throttle and let him clear? Greedy Greedy Greedy! I bet the rest of his team is happy with him trying to gain 0.0 positions by passing a spinning car. I guess this is why they say you can't win a race in one turn, but you can lose one in one turn.

    That V8volvo was flat out hauling ass until it smacked that Triumph. They drove it away, so I'm betting that they get it glued and wired together and finish the race.

    And yeah, the guy driving was PISSED. I would have said the same thing.

    At last! A driver who cusses --when I see these videos, I'm always surprised that the drivers may grunt or squeak but none of them seem to cuss a blue streak, which is what I would do. And do, in fact, do when I'm driving alone.
    I call it "Car Tourette's"-- you hear the damnedest foul words coming out of your mouth very loudly--sometimes I even surprise myself. So, nothing to apologize for, Dude. I thought you were rather restrained, under the circumstances.

    @MushyHeirloom: Yeah, I should have qualified that--I try not to do it around people I don't know that well. Once, after a business meeting, I volunteered to drive our esteemed guests to the airport, a short but congested distance. I kept calm as idiot after idiot swerved in front of us, slammed on their brakes and did other typical bad moves. I was so absorbed in not having a wreck I kind of forgot about my passengers and finally yelled at the dawdling, swervy car in front of us, "PICK A LANE, GRANDMA!" Turned out ok, they thought it was funny and wondered why I hadn't ranted before.
