My Rolex ride...

So the other day I sold my car and was asked to deliver it. No biggie I thought, sure it's a few hours but what the heck. I load the car on the trailer and off I go. I deliver the car, get my money, and begin heading back. A fresh deer carcass as well as the drunk rednecks (you're welcome Squid) that hit said deer were in the road, prompting me to take a side road to go around. I have my GPS, so it's no big deal. Roughly a mile down this side road that I saw it.



In the distance an image appeared. As I got closer I saw what at one time had to have looked like a car. Now it looked like the victim of a tragic farm accident that was then enrolled in a demo derby and vomited on by a large section of the cast of "Girls Gone Wild".






It was a car alright, or it used to be. More along the lines of scrap metal but still I had to stop and see it up close. It was parked in front of an abandoned (or so I though) utility trailer out here in the middle of nowhere so I figured I was safe. As I'm looking over the car I hear footsteps.

I turn around and look into the eyes of a man no older than myself. He cut right to the chase.

"Ten takes it, if you get it outta here right now."

"It looks like it's in rough shape. You got a title for it?"

He fidgeted around, looking nervously down the road in both directions. "You want it or not? I gotta go."

"Yeah, but what's the story behind it?"

"Just give me the money and get it outta here."

About this time I'm starting to understand the story behind it, and am afraid to know more. "How about 5 and I don't call the cops?"

The guy looked at me and said "Fine, get it outta here and nobody gets the cops called. If you know what's good for you stay off the main roads."

I had to agree, I need a car for some races this summer and it seemed we were both in a bad situation now. I forked over the money and he turned around and started running. He looked over his shoulder and shouted "Keys are in it!"

Well then. I hopped in after brushing the glass off the seat and found not a key but a screwdriver. Oh great. Checked the B pillar, no VIN tag. I just bought a hot car. Well, I was already out 5 grand because the guy headed into the woods and I'm much too out of shape to give chase. So I loaded it on the trailer and covered it with a tarp I found alongside the trailer. You'd better believe I took every side road I could just to avoid any authorities.

I took it to a friend's place to begin working on it. I figured I might as well use it as my race car now, I have money into it already and VIN tags come off of all my race cars anyways. Fortunately my friend is an awesome body guy and knows the local exotic car dealer down the road, so between the two of them in just days I was staring at the newly primered car.



Now all that's left is to mount the spoilers front and rear, paint it up, and get me some sponsors. I have high hopes that I will have a fully sponsored season for the upcoming Rolex series. Time will tell.

I don't think fixing the body work in the front was necessary.... With all the "pushing" going on durring practice.... the front of that thing will be toast every race, lol

Yeah, I ordered several 'extra' front ends and put them on my credit card. I just have to hope for some winnings early on to pay that off!

Great story Rem!

Two things:
1. No one is allowed to participate in this series with stolen property.
2. I would have helped you buy a car.

Shame.......

It's not stolen, I paid for it!

Kinda hard to argue with that logic!!!

Damn, I thought I had the original junker idea - now mine looks like a rip off...

I can't believe you bought a hot car, Rem...

Yeah, my bad.

I've tried making this thing faster by testing, tuning, and putting even more money into it. Latest addition: Relocate tailpipes, install nitrous injected jet engines in the old tailpipes.



Still can't make this turd fast.
