Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Why hasn't anyone done a 24 Hours of Lemmons theme?

Why, indeed? "PUSH THE BUTTON, MAX!!!"

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Back when we were looking at possibly getting a Peugeot we had the idea of Pepe le Peugeot. But since we have the Volvo now, it would be cool to see someone else take a stab at it smile

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

What about a whole load of themes thanks to Bobs Burgers? At the beginning of every episode there is a new ridiculous store that has opened next door to them. Such gems include:

Grindecologist Coffee Shop

A Fridge Too Far Used Appliances

and I'd Hit That Boxing Gym

They also have multiple pest control names on the van...

Here is the full list:

Has there been a Misfits theme? New Jersey teams, I'm looking at you.

Obviously, the car should be #138.

Free theme- easy to paint, comes with built-in race number. Keep the song playing nonstop all weekend and sweep the field as all your competitors brain themselves to death on their own steering wheels.

I've always wanted to do a "Fiend Club Racing" theme.  Pretty easy, really.  Just flat black the car and put a big-old Crimson Skull on the hood and go through tech with leather vests and hair pulled forward in the standard Devil-lock (shortest guy gets to be Glen!)

Unfortunately, my team sucks when it comes to 1980 hardcore / punk appreciation.  sad

I'd love to see a "Deathtöngue" theme...or pretty much anything to do with Bloom County, really.

Show up to tech with door handles missing/falling off in judge's hand, one lug holding on each wheel, and a team member still painting the car.

Is that actually a theme or just normal Lemons prep?
