Getting excited (or, maybe, apprehensive - sometimes it's hard to tell the difference) about the 24 Hours of LeMons at Buttonwillow Raceway this coming weekend. Car is almost ready after a weekend of prep. The problem with racing a crap can car, is that there is no shortage of crap to
deal with. Touch it, and crap falls out. Push it back in, and crap falls out the other side. Sigh.

Lemons Log: Nov 30. Seems like we should have a trailer. So, we now have a trailer.

The next day we clean up Rudeboy to see what we've got. It's not pretty. Beginning to think that we did not get such a bargain after all.

Getting our car. Turns out to be easier said than done. This turned out to be a long night and, in hindsight, we should have gotten a trailer.

Lemons Log: Nov 11 2018.

Ok, so we are doing the 24 Hours of Lemons race. That means finding a car for $500.00 and then having our entry accepted.

Step 1. Finding the car.

Turns out, that in the Bay Area, $500.00 doesn't get you much car. But, we did find this. An Audi A6 with a rare MANUAL transmission - for $600.00. Yep - 6speedy gears mated behind a 2.7L V6.

The fact that the timing belt job had been botched by the last owner was but a minor detail. I mean, how bad could that be? (hint: it was bad. BAD).

$400.00 later, we had our car. All we had to do next was get it home. Shouldn't be hard, it runs, it drives... kind of.
