    Clever, well-executed, of questionable taste, of questionable sanity...all funny.

    I'm surprised anyone gets anything done all weekend what with all the tomfoolery and silliness that goes on at these affairs. I'd be cracking up so hard I'd be spilling my beer all over the place.

    And, they drive real fast in shitty cars. What could be more sublimely perfect?

    Every Lemons is like the coolest Halloween, with the people AND the cars dressing up.

    I have found some potential Le Mons cars. Would they allow a custom van to race? Or a 60's Ford truck?

    @Super Traction Engine: A custom van shouldn't be a problem. At Nelson Ledges this year, there was a van racing (when it wasn't in the pits). Although it might have earned an exemption due to its caminoization.

    Either the van or the truck might push the envelope on the 4200lb GVW limit, but as long as it squeaks under, you'll be fine. Otherwise, get an exemption before you spend the time and money prepping it for race duty.

    @Murilee Martin:

    Classic.

    South Park, I found, was disturbingly accurate as a documentary-type thing on the Jefferson/Park county area.

    Still funny-as-hell, though.

    the most important thing is to TURN OFF THE FLAME BEFORE LOWERING THE BIRD INTO THE HOT OIL!!! the flaming infernos get started by the spattering oil igniting by contacting the open flame. after bird is submerged and spattering has ceased, you can relight the burner.

    I have fried turkeys before, but never thought to utilize an engine hoist and tool cart.

    When the peanut oil gets old, I put an ad on Craigslist and somebody comes by to pick it up and turn it into biodiesel.

    I think the true Jalopnik way would be to cut out the middleman and fry the turkey in diesel.

    "Yes, dear. Of course I'm going to store the engine hoist in the kitchen. Where else? It's incredibly handy, and very important for safely frying all kinds of things. See, it fits in nicely, right next to the parts washer. Now, which drawer is the baling wire in?"

    Thanks Mike, I'm sure Fire Marshall Bill approves!

    This sure beats Tom Hanks' Maserati in that episode of Busom Buddies where they are stranded in the mountain cabin. It didn't even have a tape deck.

    w00t, the tip made it!

    I don't comment as much as I should (or would like to for that matter), but as soon as I saw this I was pretty sure a good percentage of Jalops would get a hard-on for this kind of artful car-nerd sorcery.
