LeMons and Jalopnik are certainly turning into meme-generators. And the more funny stuff that gets out there, the sooner I will see another Jalopnik sporting a secret sign. Like the skull drive shaft. Or even the LeMons logo...or this
Speaking of racing,I am heading to Road America this weekend for the Vintage racing. Pictures will surely follow on Monday if anyone raises their hand.
I'll never forget the day when I was talked out of an E30 for LeMons. Now I lay awake at night, dreaming of the day when I can lay waste to fascist aggressors with a true car of the proletariat.
Great Murilee, now you've gone and made these into collectibles. I wonder who'll be laughing harder when they start rolling up on the platform at Barrett-Jackson in about twenty years?
@Vega: Yes, yes, several German speakers have already whined about "ein" versus "einer," but they shut up when we gave their teams "annoying Teutonic grammatical nitpicker" 5-lap penalties.
I just skimmed through the LeMons results page, and from what I can see the only things an E30 has won were "Fastest German" and Porcubimmer's "We Got Screwed" trophy. No overall, no IOE, no Heroic Fix... nothin'. Given the number of them that have run you'd think at least one of them would have won the thing by now, or exploded on day one only to show back up the next morning after a furious all night wrenching session.
So why do so many people keep bringing them? (I can understand Porcubimmer, it needs to be a BMW for the "Pricks on the outside" thing to work and it can't be a 2002 or 1600 because hardly any pricks drive those anymore, thus the most logical choice is an E30)

My friend's old F150 is yet another shitty E30 too.....

EDIT: The German "ss" looks a lot like a capital B... which explains a lot about a popular paint-and-body chain.

As a Bavarian I have to add: When it comes to language, never trust Austrians.
