This application completely unrelated to reducing fuel consumption, but hilarious. Full points for creativity!

Does it's origins begin with some issue about in-laws?( pre-James Bond 'ejection-seat?)

AHHH I want to join the 24 hours of lemons one day! I was actually looking into it this year (at the end) but financial stuff didn't allow me to... :(

Maybe next year :D

They ruined a perfectly good Columbia 300 ball for what. Sigh.

Now what are they gonna do on Thursday nights??? That's what I thought...

Never mind the bowling ball, they're all going to have wrinkly shirts! Oh, wait...

I was thinking it was just another lame redneck Youtubing until he popped the trunk. Then I knew we were experiencing a brush with sheer genius! LOL!

*sigh* I miss my Thursday nights...

That actually is pretty ingenuous. :thumbup:

We actually did LeMons South in an 86 CRX. We'll be back at CMP in Kershaw SC for the next event April 4-5 (Details here: The 24 Hours of LeMons: cmpsouthspring)

For giggles, I'll keep a closer eye on fuel consumption this go'round. Pit stops were an unorganized frenzy last year.

We also do the Grassroots Motorsports $200X Challenge every year.

In the essence of full disclosure, I did Wednesday nights for 4 years in college. We ended up with 2nd place one year because of a huge handicap :thumbup:. I only bowl on the Wii these days -- easier on the spine...

Nice... Reminds me of ye olde steam engine speed flyball regulator :thumbup: At least it's the same momentum concept :p
