Here's the driver on the Racing Nemo team the morning after she failed to notice both the frantically waving yellow flags and the stalled Thunderbird, plowing into the Thunderbird at a pretty healthy clip and bashing her E30 up real good.

Things looked bad for the car, and she was really torn up about letting her team down, etc. It was a very sad scene.

But they pounded the BMW back into shape and had it back on the track the next morning, and her teammates weren't mad at her at all. Could have happened to anybody! That's the kind of thing we like to see (cool teammates, I mean, not collisions).

Not if you're sitting in a stalled Thunderbird, apparently.

From what I hear, that was another attractive girl.  (oh, which way to take this joke...)

We won the IOE at Southern Discomfort.
We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey  and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

The Thunderbird was fine. Well, other than whatever problem caused it to stall in the first place.

Being a Thunderbird?

There's a Thunderbird/Cougar joke here somewhere, I think.

I thought that magazine had been burned in the garages that night.
