You can get clunkers easy in the UK and in Europe but the taxes are a little bit steep so, that's the reason why the limit should be raised.

You have to pay taxes on a car that won't see the roadway?

Sebrings at Sebring? We can do better than that!

Re: I always wondered

If you have trouble finding that many Pontiacs, there can be another class for Daewoo LeMans. LeManses. LeMans's?

Re: I always wondered

I'd be happy to come judge at an overseas LeMons-esque race, for the price of a plane ticket!

Can we open up the 12 hours of Sebrings to include the other Mopars on the same platform? A friend has a Breeze that can't be worth more than $500.

It needs classes for the older Satellite Sebring. I'd take extra time to locate a crap-tastic '75 model with plaid upholstery.

Pathetic smog-choked performance? Check.
Horrid fuel economy anyway? Check.
