There have been many many n00bs with the same question. See the sticky! That's why it's there! http://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/viewtopic.php?id=7415 is your friend!
Seriously, I want as many new drivers and teams as possible, 'cause that means that the series is healthy and I get to race more. Be welcome. Have a beer, a seat and a laugh.
My advice - find a car you like. If it is a 'boring' car by Lemons standards, rock out on the theme. If it is an 'interesting' car by Lemons standards, just pray that it runs. If you want to know what is 'boring' and what is interesting, check two things: what cars you see over and over again in the Pics, Pics and Vids thread vs. what cars you see Speedycop / Spank build. The over and over cars (E30s, Nissans, etc) are boring. Anything built by Speedy or Spank is not. Theme appropriately.
