So, given that he was a race car driver, I assume he often won various races?

So, generally speaking, he drove extremely slowly?

So if I were to say he still had a successful racing career, would that be an accurate statement?

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Saw the new "Muppets Most Wanted" movie today with my young nephews. Sam the Eagle and the Interpool agent have a pretty sweet ride that could be duplicated (in 1 1/2 scale) by just about any team with a small 2 box hatchback (VW Rabbit, Honda Civic, Plymouth Colt).

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Has there been a Spinal Tap theme ? Dress up like 80's rockers, bring some amps that go to 11, and  bolt a 20" replica of Stonehenge to the roof.

Really? Come on now. The Christine BMW was only one of the most popular cars in Lemons, until the Homer was built from its ashes.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

I am tryin to figure out how to make this theme work conceptually, visually, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kar%C5%8Dshi
Karōshi (過労死?), which can be translated literally from Japanese as "death from overwork", is occupational sudden death. Although this category has a significant count, Japan is one of the few countries[which?] that reports it in the statistics as a separate category.[citation needed] The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress.

The answer is simple:
More boost.

30# of boost in a Lemons car = instant Karoshi theme.

I honestly don't think Lemons has had even a 1/2 way decent Chitty Chitty Bang Bang theme yet. You really need something like a Zimmer or an Excalibur or something to pull it off. The model T-GT guys could maybe do it.

I was thinking of something like this, with a kiddy pool on th eroof of the car full of smoke machine, lasers and LEDs as well as a sound system. Something like a low buck version of this
