    Pulled one of the V8 emblems off a technically-correct Explorer/Mountaineer too, I see.


    I'm just jealous, you see, because my 244 is completely, totally, utterly stock. Unless you count the crowbar-based center-console-delete package and the Kenwood cassette deck, and I don't.

    Amazing. The car is so much more scary with the front end damage.

    Wow, what a kinky gathering...! And with accessories to match, no less. You should set up a booth at the next Folsom Street Fair and recruit a cheering squad. Maybe the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are available...

    @Charles_Barrett - Now with Variable-Valve Timing: Yep. Pretty much what I expected. Looks almost as entertaining than A2's famous Naked Mile, even for a decidedly straight guy. [en.wikipedia.org]

    @Mike the Dog: Rest assured, in addition to the risque amusements, there are things that transpire at the Folsom Street Fair that will make even the hardest core fan of erotica do a fish-eyed double-take.

    Am I alone in thinking coverage of this team and their car at LeMons is far and away the most interesting content on this site?

    There is, however, a deep secret that dare not speak its name. Late at night, locked in the paddock, when no one is around, the skulls sing ABBA.

    Good luck Team Black Metal V8olvo. I've got a hunch the other teams will give you wide berth out of fear and superstition. Pity about the reliability issues with the skulls' jaw actuators. I'd think those were good for at least 100,000 cycles. Maybe you're cycling them too quickly and heat is doing them in?

    Jeez, what's with the MoPar triplets in the background? How many did Adrian bring?


    I think you guys have the best theme locked up. "Your Metal is Weak"--the slogan alone is killer.


    And surely no race prep coverage ever had the phrase "...the skulls have some reliability issues."

    I gotta say, your car was pretty obnoxious sounding blasting the music around the pits. Well done ;)
