Ownership Verified: So, I bought a Porsche.

No. I might sell a Porsche.

Then I might buy another one.

And then I'm going to destroy the rest of the existing one.

Total: a Porsche (sorta).
 
'k. 1987 944 shell is up for sale. Buy it. $100 OBO.

Going to pick up a 1984 car Saturday. Can't. Wait!

Now I'm running into the issue of...well, everything seems to be this weekend. Chump and Driver's Edge are doing big events at other tracks. I've gotten two nos from trade shows alone. I need a couple other butts in the driver's seat and no can find.

Anyone know of a responsible person wanting to top on a team for the Texas 24-hour race?
 
'87 sold!

In its place, the car from Sixteen Candles. HAHAHAHAHA.

Okay, not the exact same car, but like...it looks exactly like that.

Pics and proof coming as soon as I have any spare time whatsoever (highly unlikely for at least a couple days).
 
hihihihihihihi

Here's the '87 car going to its new owner--another Porsche racer who looked at the top and went "whoohoo, no sunroof!" Gah, jealous. Dealing with the '84's sunroof is making me wanna pick fights with rabid herds of cattle.

Also, my racecar mascots got a bath:

They smelled like racecar.
 
Yay, more ugly Porsches! Hehe.
 
I should probably posteth pictureseth of the car with like, proof and stuff. I'll get on that soon, really.

I was supposed to drop off the seat and key yesterday, but a little punt in the front of the Lulzcer got in the way. So, I dropped the seat and the key off with the cagebuilder today and they're off to pick up the Porschelump this week!

I come bearing pictures. Behold! Porschelump v2 (for real this time): a 1984 944.



I finally have one of these on the front!



More cookie cutters!

Also, I have two 215/60R15 all-seasons in almost-new condition for sale if anyone needs some tires in the 944's stock size. We'll be replacing them with something stickier, of course.



I said what what in the butt...



Some decent LeMons cred on this side.



OONTZ.





I got this repaired when I sent it for a cage--there was a crack in the floorpan on the driver's side:



Hot mess inside:

BEHOLD! The brownness!



The glove box key hole is cleverly hidden under a Porsche crest. You know, because THIS IS TOTALLY NOT A VOLKSWAGEN--PLEASE BELIEVE US?!



Look at my knob!



Fluffy approves of my knob.



</brucecampbellvoice> This...this is my PROOF PIC! </brucecampbellvoice>



I had a little cleanin' up to do.



WORKING REAR HATCH STRUTS! (Yeah, those have to come off, too.)



The working hood struts will come in handy when the car breaks, heh.



SPARE ENGINE, YAY!



Fluffy, Queen of the LeMonsverse.

Fluffy Bunny, Eater of Souls, approves!

Here's proof that I'm an idiot and I don't know how to work on cars without a hammer: http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-awesome-way-to-remove-a-windshiled-1161717336

I like plasma cutters, though. Making room for rollcage door bars:

(This looks a little borked in places where I accidentally cut the wrong way around some door supports, but it's a LeMons car.)

Anyway, my lack of skill and our previous shunt are why the cage went to a professional to be done. LOOK AT MAH ROLLCAGE!

It's built a little over the minimum Chump/LeMons spec this time (for really, really obvious reasons).

Anyway, it's Cap'n Crunch Crunchberries time. There's zero time to waste after my stupid arm being in a cast for two weeks from the Lulzcer's wreck.

Donate to Porschelump's sausage, paint and torque tube fund here if you want. I'll have to get a new FG sticker for this car, too. :)
 
This is what happened to Der Porschelump: http://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/viewtopic.php?pid=220330#p220330

I am fuming mad. I have lost most of my faith in humanity. I would like to punch a cow (...with my left arm, dagnabbit).

I hate everything right now.

Most of the team seems fine with jumping onto Spank's multiple-Austin America build, but when I get back to Austin, I have a 944 to finish ASAP and some lawyers to call.

No, I would hold it. You would grill it afterwards. :p
 
Let's eat a cow.
 
What utter ckc.s I hope this gets resolved.
