How about a Red Green carbureted car?
Or a Red Green backhoe?
Dude's built more cars than Spank or Speedycop. I'm sure there's some good ideas in there.

Bonus points if your theme involves two K-cars made into one.
One K-car would be cool. Two of them (that appear to be) duct taped together would be truly magnificent. Four wheel steer, all wheel drive. Oh yeah.
Haven't seen the movie, nor read the book, but I like the first line:
"Ove is fifty-nine. He drives a Saab."
and later:
"Ove's devotion and brand loyalty to the company's Swedish roots is so steadfast that he ceases purchasing new cars after the General Motors acquisition, choosing instead to retain his dark blue 1998 Saab 9-5 Wagon model"

The Ant Farm's Phantom Dream Car from their Media Burn "Media Event"

So COOL!
Has anyone done a SOLID Rick and Morty yet?
Or a Norton I, Emperor of the United States and protector of Mexico theme?
I have no idea what all that crazy weather is about but I'm pretty sure the star will have to be driving this the whole movie
You know what would be cool? A Stroker and Hoop theme, with a Chevy Monza as C.A.R.R.
I'd love to see somebody attempt to recreate this:

Someone needs to do a proper Slav car theme:

the whole time I watched a video on RWB / Akira Nakai all I could think of is Spank taking a saw to the roof of a mini van. Pretty much the same thing right? some good elements of a theme in the making with the leather chair, coke bottles, and cigs.

Not Spank, Sasha from Sputnik is the one who chopped the roof off the mini van.

Spank...goats, chickens and Harley powered Prius
Sasha...Cuts off roofs and sometimes puts them back on...races hopeless Nissans
Some solid ideas.
Douchebags, Drive-ins, and Dives?
In a red convertible?
And everyone dresses up like Guy Fieri....with the hair and cheap bling..?
And brings food! and neon signs
(although maybe this was done already....?)
And then post it on the internet to try to get a cease-and-desist order?
By the way, how many teams have had themes so good that they got a cease and desist order?
I think there have been a few that got letters from companies?
(Maybe an idea for a Lemons World episode, or Blog entry?)

There have been a few C&D orders issued...The memorable ones were 'F'ed Up' (done up in FedEx livery)
and 'Spinnin'Out' ( a parody of In-n-Out Burgers)....but the most famous one was the Homer car made famous by The Simpsons.
Fox heard about it a promptly sicced the army of lawyers on them,cease and desist,the whole nine yards...until Matt Groening,the creator of the show,exercised his rights and called it off.He not only endorsed the idea,but invited the race team to come to the Fox studios ,take a tour,meet the creative team,and even autographed the cars fender

RED? I thought his thing was obnoxious yellow cars? There's some Day-glow yellows out there now that would be Peak Flavortown Obnoxious.
The dump truck from the first matrix. first 5 minutes of the movie. But with trinity and the phone booth smashed into the front grill. All the drivers dressed as agents.
Love this thread revival. It's one of my favorite threads and it's high time to dust it off.
Probably already buried in this thread somewhere, but if you're looking for a last-minute Halloween Hooptiefest theme...
Surely a Squid Game theme is coming? Car #456, green with white stripes, red light / green light creepy doll on the roof, people referring to the judges as "Inspector Royale".

We do have a Rick and Morty car, ran it in Houston. I tell ya this car gets alot of picture taking and thumbs-ups on the road. It was surpising to us, however, how few people at the Lemons races had actually seen the show. We do plan to (or at least to attempt to) run this car next month at MSRH.

General rule, If it's actually cool, the Judges have never seen/heard of it. Just ask the poor bastards that did a Venture Brothers Monarch Henchmen team complete with Nisan Stanza that was Powder Blue......Mostly....
If it's an Internet Meme, Those they get. Hell you're even getting on shaky ground these days doing a car or motorsports related pun. Especially if it references something newer than 1999.
Edit: Oh and I'm sorry, they also had an actual Candy iMacBook to show a clip of the show to the Judges that matched the one the Monarch used in the episode "The Buddy System". Their eye for detail, totally squandered.
