Perhaps you have an Amazon Superleggara for us?

Or a Short Bus? Or a golf cart?

Or any vehicle that meets the following Judgemobile standards:

1. Must be able to start, turn, and stop
2. Must have a source of 12V power for the Ghost Ride The Whip Boombox
3. You must accept roof/trunklid/etc scratches from said GRTWB
4. You must accept any destruction the Lemons Supreme Court may visit upon your vehicle. We haven't destroyed a Judgemobile yet (except for the Doomed Tempo), but you never know...

The team that gives us the best Judgemobile for the weekend gets a Get Out Of Penalty Box Free card.

The possibility of you breaking my Hijet kills it. I'm sure we'll need it for pushing our car back after lap 2 anyway.

I can't imagine i'll need my DD for the duration of the event... if you don't find a judgemobile, you can borrow it... It's not a badass old hooptie or custom somethingorother, so it's not the best choice, it's just a lowly m5.

I'm keen to offer my 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Executive Limousine.  Try to keep the molestation to a minimum, though...I've got an unfortunate amount of money tied up in this thing...like $1800.  Damn!

However, I'm not on a team.  I'm spectating, and probably shooting some video for YouTube.  Now, should a team want to bribe -me- for the Get Out of Jail Free Card...well, this is the Rod Blagojevich 500...

In fact, I'll go one further and chauffeur the judges around myself, if they so desire.

Re: We need a Judgemobile for the Rod Blagojevich 500!

Purchase price was $500 and I have a signed bill of sale to prove it.  The rest is new brakes ($330), new gas tank ($350), good used tires ($500 counting the Dodge 600 they were attached to), and other miscellaneous necessary roadworthiness expenses associated with driving it the 2,500+ miles home.  It's like I've already run BA/BE with it (and for what it's worth, Highway 212 in WY/MT tops nearly everything on BA/BE)

Proof:

That said, I am actively trying to sell it, and I will take a loss on it if I must, and I will absolutely be running some horrible Tempaz of some sort on BA/BE 2011 (that is if I don't marshall in my TDI New Beetle)

I didn't buy the limo for BA/BE per se.  I bought it for the YouTube comedy travelogue series I'm shooting now.  And then my $36k offer on a duplex here in MKE was accepted, and now my finances are kind of a blizzard. 

All of that notwithstanding, tell me this thing isn't the perfect Lemons Judgemobile!

Oh yeah, that limo would be a fine Judgemobile. We'll do our best not to hurt it. Bring a towel or something to put on the roof or trunk lid for the Ghost Ride The Whip Boombox.

Richard Nixon had a K-car limo during the 80s.

Will you take trade on an AWD '89 Tempo that's missing the rear driveshaft because the original owner thought AWD was gay? It's been sitting in PA for about 2 years. Ran when parked. I *THINK* my buddy still owns it, and he owes me a Tempo-sized favor.

In a Tempo or Topaz I will settle for nothing less than a diesel with a manual transmission, preferably from the first two model years ('84/'85).

I would consider trading the limo for a decent truck that can tow; now that I'm in the rental property game I need a work vehicle...

Re: We need a Judgemobile for the Rod Blagojevich 500!

The limo is here and it is fantastic.  It has already been involved in a few penalties, including a futile hour-long effort to fix the right rear window, which has a broken track.  At least we know it has a broken track now...

Anyone bribe you well enough to acquire the Get Outta Jail Free Card?  And if so, what was the bribe?

OMG. I wish I had read this ahead of time. I should have known that this was a Hansenmobile.
