Hahahahaha

"ready to race" 

if "race" you mean
going so slow everybody shakes their fist at you as the blow past you...
and 13K is a fair bit of chicken in the Lemons world

Yes, that is what I mean by the term.

That's got to be the highest real asking price for a Lemons car I've ever seen. Still...nobody is going to sweat you on $500. Also, cage looks nicely built, might even be stage-rally legal with some additional work.

I have nothing to do with this vehicle; I just saw it on Craigslist and decided to mention it here. My only connection with the team is that they gave me one of their hats at The Ridge in 2018.
