88 toyota celica
Not to be confused with...
Those of you who recall me know that I am prone to getting arguably imbecile ideas into my head about some random aspect I want to do from time to time. I'll jerk right in and get started, then lose interest/motivation at some essence before completion of said task. Fun, no?
So the latest eager thing is fielding a team for next year's 24 Hours of LeMons. get it? Lemons? Hah! In a nutshell, this is a weekend consequence comprised of a couple of full track days ceaseless wheel to wheel endurance elegance in cars that are documented to have cost no more than $500, excluding wheels, tires, and shelter equipment. How could that not be fun?
I definitely have the skill set required to purchase a cheap heap of a car; I've more than abundantly demonstrated this ability at several points in my existence. Hell, some of them have even been halfway reliable; a affinity to list can be found further on down the page.
So the event almanac for next year hasn't been published yet (mid-November), but I'd supposition that it will be about the same time, the end of July. All I need to is get a band of about 4-6 drivers-cum-crew workers, and perchance $3-5K in capital to fund this doing? Stranger things have happened, to be tried.
Here are a few links to Jalopnik articles (they're the crush coverage I've found of the events so far) with galleries of the entrants in latest races, starting with this year's South Carolina consequence:
"South" - Kershaw, South Carolina
"New England" - Stafford Springs, Connecticut
"Detroit-ish" - Toledo, O-hi-o
Who knows, if we do well, perchance we can even go on the road with it.
Anyway, that'll do it for now, in the meantime, here are a few words on my addiction to car buying.
My first car, a turd brown '75 Firebird Esprit was $400, IIRC. I bought it before I had a sanction or even a permit, and never got it registered as a result. Don't call to mind if it had the 350 or the 400, but I lean toward the 350 hooked up to a TH400. This would have been...1987 dialect mayhap? 1988? Drove it around for several months until the brakes went out and we by the skin of one's teeth ditched it on Addison Ave. in Chicago.
Next came the '76 Audi Fox, which was a in league-me-down heap from the 'rents. Drove it around for a while until it got to be too crappy even for me. Sold it for peradventure $800? That number seems to stick in my take the lead for some reason. It apparently died on the guy who bought it anon thereafter, and he crank called threatening my sustenance for a few weeks after. Fun.
My first car legally purchased with my own wherewithal was a '67 (base) Cutlass convertible. Talked the guy down to $1600, and it came with a nice top, cracked rear plastic window, 330 cubic inch 2bbl "Jetfire" apparatus, 2-speed PowerGlide auto. The PowerGlide died driving a angel back from Wheaton?, so it got swapped out for a TH400, and I had another one purchased advantage a 455 for an eventual rebuild that never happened. Not a bad 30-foot car, and it was matchless for a summer or two.
There was a '64 Triumph TR4. this was a factual POS, as there were no original body panels without massive rust holes; the drivers side floorboard was nonexistent, and you had to stab squinty eyed, or get rust flakes in your eyes from the constantly-disintegrating "nerve" beneath your feet. One item of note was the realize price, which started at around $3500, but was negotiated down to $1100 through a mere storm of good cop/bad cop/worse cop put on my my parents. Asian negotiating skills at their most adroitly.
