Therefore, to all you experienced guys (and gals), what are the top 5 cars you would recommend to a newbie for a Lemons build, and why?
To answer your question, and these are in no particular order:
1. Crown Vic / Caprice - like Murilee said, cheap, reliable and fun
2. Toyota Corolla FX16 - there are a couple of these in Lemons and they are always at the top of the pack
3. Mustang - can be had for cheap, run well and parts are readily available
4. Mitsubishi anything - their motors are indestructible
5. Neon - dime a dozen and their run pretty well
This of course is just my humble opinion. Commence firing Lemon's racers!
