    I never knew Mustang wheels were a direct bolt on to a 300ZX. Now I can add that to old Toyota trucks.

    I think the massive breakdowns are caused by sabotage perpetrated on a colossal scale. All I can say is shame, shame shame on you, to those who guilty.

    @Flathead Smith: Obviously, this is some effect induced by the return of Dick Cheney. The cosmic balance has been shifted more than lumpy Pirellis on one of those new factory Camaro mags, and no amount of lead weight on the rim will even it out. The spin and wobble had to show up somewhere.

    You've got to hand it to these teams, they are all always smiling and in good spirits in the pix, no matter what mechanical or judgmental disaster has befallen them.

    I know this sort of comment is as predictable as "that'll buff out", "Will it blend?", "asians can't say 'l' jokes, and "Obama [Bush] is the reason for every shitty thing ever", but none the less:


    That first pic is one of the most arousing things I've seen in a while.

    Anyone who can keep a Voyager running that long deserves some sort of prize, at the very least.

    We Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys are bouncing with glee at going to Reno. We have two vehicles capable of towing the trailer, and Pujo! is street licensed and insured. We are getting to this race come hell or high water.

    I too shall be there, although only as support crew for my friend's team and not as a driver. To show just how much I am supporting, today I picked up some of the special brew that will be used to "lubricate" the judges. Mr. Loverman will be especially interested.

    That Capri looks the business, and the name is great. I wonder if they've nicknamed the car "Ray?"

    At first glance, I was thinking that the Capri better be a lot more janky close-up if it wants to make it past the judges. From far away, or at low resolution, it looks pretty damn good. Then I saw the angle that they're playing: charity. Damn their big hearts.

    @Murilee Martin: The sort of car with a good body, a terrible unibody, and serious mechanical problems from sitting too long?


    In other words, the opposite of my current Volvo, and the very embodiment of my all-rust-underneath parts car.

    @wrappedinbacon: I saw that Capri before it received its new green paint job; it's pretty messed up. It looks cool, though, and that's half the battle at LeMons.

    I'll be there (along with my old college roommate) ready to wield my strong hand of technical justice. Yes, I will be using all my years of hanging around Dad and his Citroens to qualify as a "tech inspector". Brides in the form of driving will be accepted. Oh yeah, that and booze. Ketel One Citroen highly accepted.

    @Novaload Misses Murilee: good catch. They may end up with some leftovers from the defunct Mustang Ranch. Bribes will be more readily accepted.
