"loving home" = "lemons racers go away"

I like how he mentions that the 'steering wheel is good', but nothing else.

Holy crap man. If you are counting that among one of the 100 left, it's more like 99.5 left.
So, he planned on making that little hunk of junk a lawn ornament but had "unforeseen circumstances". Sounds like the woman that wears the pants in the house veto'd it.

"these are $150,000 cars restored."

On what planet?!

"Steering wheel is good."

Yup, that's about all that is.

You bought it as a yard ornament, but want it to go to a good home?

Exactly.

No worries there. You couldn't make a LeMons car out of it. Maybe a LeMons trophy, or something.

Yeah, a little off...here's one that went to auction recently in nice condition for only $14k (and this auction had historically high prices):

Says you! If people can make a LeMons race car out of a boat, trailer, Z600, etc. then somebody can make one out of this!

Actually as of 2013 they have the minimum wheelbase rule and non-modified crash structure rule. The Goggomobil has a 71" wheelbase and the minimum Lemons is 82". Combine that with the non-modified crash structure and I think it might be out of the question unless it's mounted as an accessory to a different vehicle.

The boat and trailer got away with it because the base vehicle (s10 and x90, respectively) was under the accessory body and the oem crash structure was intact. I think the Z600 got away with it because it was 2012.

You could mount the goggomobil on an s10.. maybe we should do that when the boat gets old.

Before we go challenging Bryce to do it just because, let's say that anything is possible.

For instance, Jay did let us remove the front bumper on the LTD. It weighed like 50 lb. I think our crash structure was OK without it.

you could sawzall the body at the B-pillar, material to lengthen it, and make it look like a goggomobile limo
