Topic: Fake Lemons fans

I saw a guy the other day wearing a Lemons shirt, which i found unusual since outside of the people i race with and from being at the races, i have yet to see anyone wearing any Lemons stuff.

so i went up to him to bs about it, thinking he had some affiliation with a team, but the guy seemed to have no idea what i was talking about and walked away.  I figured someone had given him the shirt, but maybe he was just blowing me off.

I know there has been more media coverage about the series of late, but is it really getting that big that random people are wearing Lemons merchandise without really knowing about it?

I voted for your team to be crushed so I really didn't want to talk to you...

We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

Maybe his wife got the shirt at a garage sale?

Are you kidding! Any true Lemon racer would use his shirt until the holes got so big his wife wouldn't let him wear it anymore. And then that fine Lemons shirt would become an even finer rag. Hell! we don't give anything away just ask our wives.
If my wife gave my precious lemon memorabilia away "Well" it just ain't going to happen. The guy must have been a lemon "Wanna-Be" and when he was confronted with such greatness he was speechless and walked away in shame.

My wife asked me why I was working on the car in my Lemons shirt (it was destroyed).  I simply reply'd "that's the point" smile

It helps if you button your overcoat and put down the bottle of scotch before approaching strangers.
