    "The Homer"

    Built by my college roommate's team and racing in the 24 Hours of Lemons at Buttonwillow this weekend.



    They made Jalopnik, and a bunch of other auto news sites. Facebook

    Edit: Now Car and Driver.

    Awesome ride, hope it holds up for the 24 hrs.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    A friend did it in CT a couple years ago with a group. It sounded like a shit show, but I think that's the point. Makes you deal with whatever, whenever. If you win... you are a combination lucky, smart, mentally and physically dexterous. I'd love to do it, too.

    That is fucking amazing. I didn't even remember the Bort reference. What's it built on?
    No longer stuck.

    E30 for sure.

    They came in 5th of 153. My buddy and their other driver are legit. Buddy's DD is a 2001 M-Coupe with suspension mods. He kills it at the local BMW Club autocross days with that car.

    Temps were 110F in the afternoon yesterday and today. Rough stuff on old cars.

    That is the best thing I've seen all week.
