Throw in a couple mini vans and it looks like something I imagine Vigo would have laying around his place.

For some reason I get the feeling this collection started because somebody either lost or won a bet. I'm honestly not sure which.

Series Rules:

Tires: Kumho Solus

Replacement parts: Anything from the "economy" group for that vehicle on RockAuto is allowed, but no other modifications except what is permitted in the Equalization rule.

Equalization: N/A cars may remove weight in any way provided the structure of the car is not compromised and all exterior panels remain stock. Turbo cars may not remove any weight but may wire the wastegate shut.

All races will be held on European rallycross (wheel to wheel) style courses made out of mid-construction cookie-cutter suburban hellscapes.

I hadn't seen that one before. I wouldn't mind a nicer version of the '89 LeBaron coupe I drove in college, but I can't understand collecting 22 of them. I guess that guy must have really taken things hard when American made convertibles disappeared in the mid '70s and was really, really overjoyed to see them come back.

As a former K-car/Turbo Dodge aficionado, I can testify that there is something inherently wrong with us. Fortunately, I got out of the hobby before I owned a house, because otherwise I would have had a similar collection of Dodge Shadows, Plymouth Sundances, and Dodge Daytonas.

In reply to ¯_(ツ)_/¯:

My only concern: How exactly does one tell if the structure of an 80's K car has been "compromised"?

Otherwise, I'm totally in. I'm also assuming that implicit in the rules is that the addition of Mad Max style gadgets to destroy the competition will be encouraged if not required?

"She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron". Cake. To be honest if I had somewhere to put 20 Nissan 200sx models from the 90s I'd be a quarter of the way there already.

I've kinda always wanted to rock a ratty convertible just to be too unkool for skool. Then once summer was over I'd pass it along. Values.
