First, you buy a cheap Mercury Villager minivan. Plenty of sub-$500 examples out there. The Villager was a crypto-Nissan and uses a good ol' Nissan VG30 or VG33 V6, so it won't blow up quite as fast as, say, a Windstar.

Then all you need to do is obtain the right costumes and learn the Y.M.C.A. dance to become the VILLAGER PEOPLE!

Bonus points if you go with the early-80s "New Wave" iteration of the Village People for your theme!

Definately would be great if the whole race team came from Castro st.

I pitched this theme before the last Thill and got shot down big time. So I'll pass it on in the hope that another team may share my vision of greatness.

the most useful aspect of the Ace/Gary car is that if you need more space, just give it a good wash 'n wax.  the longer you buff it, the bigger it gets.  wink

Sorry, it just popped into my head and seemed vaguely appropriate to the topic.

Re: Here's a theme idea that will make your team instant Lemons Legends!

I'm not sure if Ace & Gary are more or less ambiguously-gay than new-wave edition Village People.

That said, shouldn't the Ace & Gary-mobile be a Miata and not an e30?

Re: Here's a theme idea that will make your team instant Lemons Legends!

Murilee, this post is a riot.... why? Because on my team we have two drivers that actually own Villagers, and use them as everyday drivers. Mine, and Mike Musto (aka Mr. Angry).

Now we know why Mike is Angry.  How do you feel about this unfortunate situation?

Villager? I thought you said Pillager!

Re: Here's a theme idea that will make your team instant Lemons Legends!

Somehow I totally missed out on Ace and Gary. The wiki research was highly entertaining. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e9/Tv_snl_ambiguously_flying.jpg/200px-Tv_snl_ambiguously_flying.jpg

Re: Here's a theme idea that will make your team instant Lemons Legends!

Damn, here I am going on about Ace and Gary and I totally blanked on the fact that one of my teammates has a Mercury Villager too!

In fact, that was the car we used to pull the 944's fenders out with (after the legendary AMP race in October '07) by wrapping a tow strap around a breaker bar, stuffing it up inside the fender then hooking the strap to the Villager, no one else was willing to risk their grill/headlight/windshield when the bar popped out.
