Re: Question for judges: Why does "cheap" have to equal Filthy?

This thread is funny.

We call our car 'the filthy'. Not because it is especially dirty, but because an escort is such a downgrade from a track prepped 914-6.

Driving any 914 ("track prepped" or not) would make me feel silly...

Drat! And Double Drat!

I have a Boxster S, but I can't afford to crash it so I don't track it.  I have never felt the slightest bit dirty when racing our Lemons neon, though...

Re: Question for judges: Why does "cheap" have to equal Filthy?

We did not have much of a choice. Our car came so dirty no one else would work on it, and it was too filthy to clean without creating a superfund site. So we mostly left it alone. Touch it and you'll be filthy too. Drive it and you'll feel like you just slow danced with a cheap hooker, looking forward to a dose of penicillin.

Now that it is raining, it sits out unprotected in the driveway staining the pavement, the piles of leaves, dust and neighborhood cat hair creating a muddy soup in the seat from a year without a convertible top. Moss grows on the hood and rust grows everywhere else.

It's a slow rotting lemon.

I may put fresh duct tape on it before the next race... I may not. I will however, pack the RV full of paper towels and hand cleaner just in case. And if we don't get accepted, I'll drive the dirty thing up to T-Hill as a spectator, leaving oil spots in the parking lot overnight!

I'm not here to win per-se as evidenced my vehicle of choice... I just wanna have fun and go round and round really fast without going to jail. I have way too many other cars to keep clean, Lol! big_smile

But if you are really good at cleaning, I'll give you 5 bucks to do mine.

Re: Question for judges: Why does "cheap" have to equal Filthy?

+1 on the changing your pants thing. I challenge ANYONE to be comfortable in "filthy's" passenger seat on a run around. Scary and filthy greatly understates this bucket o' bolts. If it's still driveable before Lemons, god speed my friend... god speed.
