    I notice the plane was incapable of gaining altitude just long enough for it to do a thrilling flyby of all the destruction. #2012

    This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time. #2012

    Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast looked more exciting than this "movie."

    And being a radio show, it didn't even have any images to look at. #2012

    I can get behind blowing cars up if they're Hyundais, Kias, and whatever my former boss is in.

    You know what, just him. If we can blow his sorry ass up that'd be cool. I could even spare the Hyundais. #2012

    I'd be afraid to get Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich in the same room, since they'd probably find a way to actually blow up the planet. #2012

    You know, I haven't called the junkyard to ask, but I'm betting a Porsche 928 *frame* is worth more than 500 bucks. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Jim Hubert: We have a copy of the Craigslist ad asking $250 for the car.. And we've since found 5+ 928s for under $500.. one even runs! Not that we bought them, but when friends and 928 enthusiasts (or haters, this LeMons) knew we were building one, we were deluged with e-mails and Craigslist leads. We bought 2, a 79 found on Craigslist for $200 and a 84 found across from a friends house for $256 (the price was $260 but we were $4 short on pickup) One was stripped out and in pieces, the other was a theft recovery with a slipped timing belt and totally screwed up wiring. The 79 was our first choice to run, as it is light and has a 5 speed, but the K-jet injection was missing too many parts and we just couldn't get it on track for under $500, and we'd have to build a wiring harness to boot. So, onto the the automatic 84, a complete L-jet car, with some seals, o-rings and a timing belt our total is just over $400.. no BS. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Evil_Genius: Oh, and we also found $1.39 in change and a 14ct gold ring in the car. We sent the ring to a re-refining company and will be getting a check to apply to the budget soon. Did I mention the way-bitchin Sky-Tel pager we found as well? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    I knew it was a matter of time until an XJ showed up.

    Also, gotta love the Crown Vic team who named themselves "Save the Whale". A guy on tB calls his "POWERWHALE", and I endorse that as well. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    So we have not one but two French cars at the race? All we need now is a Citroen and we'd be all set! #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    When I first saw Phil Frank was going to be at the race I thought the creator of 'Nigel Shiftright' was back from the dead and ready to do battle on the racetrack. So is this his son? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill
