HOLY $%^&!  I need this car BADLY.  First off, we have a two car garage at the house which on one side is the 1984 BMW e30 Lemons car decorated with "Another S@#$ty E30" all over it AND all of its spare parts therefore her car sits outside.  Anyway, we're getting married this fall and the fiancee is having a minor melt down about the POS Lemons car being there.  If this were to show up and be planted in the driveway as the next Lemons car the reaction would be atomic...and captured on video.  I'm just say this has YouTube hiliarty written all over.  So evil, so wrong...so perfect.

I deserve to win because I promise not to hoick in an LS1, fuzzy dice and chrome 22's.

If i were to win it both the car and I would sit out the race at MSR Houston.  We are both too old to go out and show up  the younger bunch.  (Fire esxtingusher handy for flames)  Will wave when you crash near my corner though.  See you there.

I've always wanted an excuse to use my "My Other Car Is a Wartburg"  bumper sticker and I could if I won. I'm not trying to be critical,but I think that a 1 yer supply of 'Dr. Scholl's Wart Remover' would have been a more appropriate companion prize to the Wartburg. When my East German mail order bride shows up,I would also like to be able to pick her up in a Wartburg to make her feel more at home. The Wartburg is pretty much the only thing missing that would make my life complete.

I should not win this.  You see, I am stuck in Project House Hell and my wife is getting antsy for me to finish the upstairs so we can move our bedroom up there.  She has threatened me numerous times not to buy a project car.  She has also threatened to move back to her parents house if I lose my focus on the house.

Therefore, it would be bad for me to win this.  If I won, my wife would leave me.  I would probably burn the house down and build a garage with an apartment on top.  In the garage would be the engineerd Racing World Headquarters (eRWHQ patent pending) where I would work tirelessly on getting the Warburg running and ready for LeMons.  Then I would travel the country entering it in every LeMons race offered.  I would also drink too much and lose track of days.  My boss would fire me, but I would try to make my living off of the nickels. 

Yeah, I should not enter.

EDIT:  Since I should not enter, it should go to my good friend Ms. Fortune Cookie. 

Why?  Because she is not feeling the weight of Project House Hell, is not married to a man threatening to leave her if said house is left unfinished for a project car, and therefore her life would not spiral out of control.  Quite the opposite.  If Ms. Fortune Cookie were to win, all of her days would be filled with the roaring of a 3-pot 2-stroke engine, the love of her neightbors, racing fame and stardom on the LeMons circuit, and rainbows would greet her with pots of nickels every day when she woke up.

So, you see, I should not enter.  However, Ms. Fortune Cookie should and she should win.

(Please don't ban me.)

I was stationed in West Berlin from 1977-1981.  I made many trips through Checkpoint Charlie to buy cheap shit from the Zentrum department store (and other shops where U.S. military personnel were ushered into back rooms to buy the good stuff) in East Berlin and I have many pleasant memories of those days.  One of the things I miss most about East Berlin is the sweet smell (acrid aroma maybe?) of the fumes caused by the oil/gas mix that provided the go power to the venerable 2-stroke Trabant.  I guess I will never have a chance to own the fantastic, plastic POS but the Wartburg is pretty close.  I think you will agree that of all of the entries you will receive mine will be the most deserving.

Unlike the other entrees I own no car, not for thirty years since a ’41 Nash. Had a Kaw H1, stolen in 1980. Otherwise I own nothing. Being a red bone all property is owned by the wife, this PC being the most valuable thing in these three small rooms in Greenwich Village. Went to Brands Hatch racing school back in ’78 (Jim Russell in ’72) and as my times got short so did my money. Life off the track (unless listening to Mahler etc. or out in nature) is just existing.

Myself and team Dragon Somethin' - should win this wartburg for one reason- we will enter it in the lemons next year. Think- Meine Kleine Buzzbomb via Deathrace 2000.

Surely no one deserves this fine automobile more than me...as a proud citizen of an apparently (according to Rush) Socialist nation, it deserves to return to a place safe for mindless bureaucrats, impossible Red tape (get it?) civil servants who just don't give a damn, prohibited firearms, State Controlled Medicine and the Metric System, a known act of Cold War subversion designed to cripple mechanics and enthusiasts in all 50 states....AND not 10 kilometers from where I write this, a mountain of Castro's finest cane sugar sits in a bond warehouse in segregation to keep it apart from sugar destined for America (this part is actually true) proving our stubborn desire to trade with the last bastion of Communism in the Western Hemisphere....Lada, Dacia, Skoda, Renault (OK, they were lousy, not Commie) all sold in Canada right under your Capitalist noses! Ha! Besides, (another true story) I was once picked up by the RCMP for attempting to scale the wrought iron fence surrounding the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa after a dorm kegger...in February. Only impending frostbite and the desire of the constable to close the door prevented an international incident....PLUS ANOTHER INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE STORY.... my mother was a Communist partizan message runner in Northern Greece during the attempted Red takeover of that nation. Only a compelling letter and from her rich uncle in Chicago and the criminal use of Napalm by U.S. "advisers" convinced her of the dangers of Stalinist brigandage....later shocked by the insane pace of Capitalist Portland Oregon in 1960, she retreated to a textile factory in snowy Toronto, where in late 1962, I was born. The rest is history. For that Wartburg,  America is Guantanamo Bay...for God's sake (a purely secular expression, of course), let me lead it North to the Promised Land, behind my Oakville union-built F-150...President Obama can do it with wrongfully convicted terrorists; you can do it for a wrongfully imported Wartburg.

Yours in Socialism,

I am writing in support on Ms. Fortune Cookie.  I'm not sure about her promise to make the offered car a Pink lady.  Also, I have no idea what her tag line means.  "Pucker Up, Fellas!"?  But I may or may not have been one or both of the women in the airport and can report that she did not try to steal my kidney or sell me/us to anybody named Guillome.  With that in mind, please award her that (looking at the picture again to get just the right words) mostly intact (see MIB1 for further explanation) blue sedan.  Right.  Wartburg.

Anyway I got banned by you know who and lost my part-time, 100% commission job in a ten hour period.  Obviously, I have nothing better to do than this.

Edit: I forgot to state that Ms. Fortune Cookie and I are planning to spectate at the Lamest Day while my teammate from Team Trailing Throttle Oversteer competes with her team of Michigan friends.  I'm sure my Mazda6 can pull a trailer carrying that little beauty.

I deserve this car. I'll run it in at least one LeMons race with a historically accurate theme. It'll be painted with the Berlin Wall style and glorified depictions of the Hoff. If there's a race next year in/around Ohio in October, we'll be more than happy to bring a piece of the Octoberfest fun to the event. We'll probably even <del>bribe</del> make merry with the judges by means of Pretzels and a pint of something suitably German.

Our winning strategy is to keep everybody off our tail by blasting polka through the speakers, but don't tell anybody, it's a secret.

Let us win, for the sake of the Hoff.
