Topic: Want to be a Lemons Legend In Your Own Time?
Then buy this 1972 Citroën DS and LeMons-ize it! You will have no competition whatsoever for the Index Of Effluency, and imagine that comfy suspension hydropneumatique ride on the track!

It really doesn't look like it needs extra Lemons-izing to me...?

Other than a roll cage, no.

The car is from Punxsutawney, that just yells Groundhogs Day to me. The car needs stuff to tie it to the movie. I'm thinking ice sculpture, Jeopardy questions, Ned the Head mannequin in the passenger seat, and a groundhog for a hood ornamment.

C'mon, I know where there are three DS derelicts parked in the mud right here in CA! (Murilee, check the Snowball rally pix). And yes, you'd probably win the Index of Effluency.

I think I'd get an old stuffed groundhog from a taxidermist and mount it on the roof maybe? gotta cover that thing with fur for sure!

I WISH! That is my ultimate dream. Coming from a family of Cit owners my whole life, these were Lemons when NEW much less in the current state! I don't think it would be possible without putting a spring suspension in it and an engine/steering rack swap..

Insulting a DS?
You'd better believe that's a paddling
"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

Well, kinda yah. We got our last new one in 1971, Paris delivery. Even then the Delivery guy said it was a lemon... it had a leak of one kind or another for the rest of its life until 81 when my mom sold it. I wasn't old enough to take it on, or I would have! Didn't handle rust too well either

And no jack needed! Just flip the switch, she lifts up and you slip in the axle stand...think of the time saved changing tires...
