    We might be looking at the first Ferrari entrant for LeMons.

    If you want a Ferrari, you want a Ferrari. Personally though, I'd be happier with a cheaper car with more brainpower of its own to avoid getting overly intimate with walls and obstacles. Not so bad that it drives itself for you of course, but something like a LanEvo that will apply the brakes and torque judiciously to help you steer where you want to go.

    But like I said, I know that if you want a Ferrari, that's all that matters, regardless of how unforgiving it may be to imperfect drivers.

    Ferrari 360's seem to have a tendency to run into walls, as does the one in this video.

    Before the Ferrari are two neat burnouts.

    How'd he manage to understeer into the wall?

    A quick twenty grand and he can be back out next weekend.

    $20K doesn't even get you 1/2 way to putting that car back together.

    Could it be the richer you are, the worse at driving you are?

    By this logic, Bill Gates probably never drives period, while some random homeless person in Anybigcity USA could probably be the ten times F1 Champion...if someone gave him/her a chance.

    Since the skill is lacking he should have just driven a modified Toyota MR2.

    Wait, that engine didn't get any penalties?! Pro-tip, all E30s had a metal intake manifold. The big plastic manifold should have been a clue that something was not kosher.

    @LTDScott: The team had completely obsessive documentation for that engine, which they bought from some dude on Craigslist for a ridiculously cheap price. Plus they got Judge Ed, one of the original LeMons judges, and he's a little nicer than me and Judge Jonny.

    Hmmm. Instead of "I will not spin" it should have been, "I will not roll."

    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.

    In reply to Killer Bee MGB Wipes Out, Gets Rolled Into Ball Of British Leyland Scrap
    The amount of analysis regarding the 16 seconds of video is hilarious.

    Remember: it's LeMons. There are no rules on the track, aside from knowing that if you make contact, you'll penalized. No one has the right of way, no one "has the line".

    No one should've done anything, as no one can count on other drivers seeing you or knowing what to do if they do.

    In reply to Video Of Deadly Police Crash Released
    As someone who lives in Fairfield County and routinely travels to Milford, I can attest to this being the norm for Milford cops.

    I've witnessed them drag-racing each other at night, and blowing through red lights while doing so. I've seen this in Bridgeport as well, and they currently have a case/investigation involving a drunk officer who smashed into a parked car- which the supervising lieutenant tried to cover-up.
