Topic: stupid questions involving volvos, west virgina, and new hampshire.
So a bunch of buddies and I want to enter Lemons, but now I have more questions than I have answers. First off, which race is a better race, and which race would a group of jackholes like us be able to get into? We're in central NJ, so the west Virginia one is 4ish hours away, and the NH race is about three hours away.
I've found a $300 non-running volvo 740 (turbo....weee). The only bummer is that it's not a station wagon. As far as I know Volvo = tank and tank = good. It's also RWD which is just more fun, but slushbox is kinda meh. I'm thinking that it might be good for reliability (instead of 5 club-footed morons mashing gears and burning up clutches), but then that's also less fun. Any thoughts? Also, I've seen a lot of 240s, so the 740 is fairly common and wouldn't give us any bonus points, but would it be a detraction in any way? How about the BS factor? I mean it doesn't run at all right now and it's sort of a gamble if I'll even be able to get it to run (and then be able to run well enough to finish the race).
I haven't really come up with a theme idea, but figured I'd find a car and then stare at it and drink until inspiration hits or i forget about it completely.
Any/all input is appreciated.
Thanks!
