If this dude texts me back tonight, I'm going to look at something in Fairfax because I make bad choices and could end up in it for $NotMuch.

AWWWWWW SHIT

so i've told this story before in my build thread, but it bears repeating for rallyx consideration:


do you see that colossal bag of ass? its a gutted nissan sentra from like 20 years ago, maybe older. know what? when i ran rallyx with THSCC, this thing was entered at every single event, usually rotated between 2 to 4 seperate drivers. during the FWD class runs, it literally never turned off, just came across the line, next guy gets in and proceeds to lay waste to the poor thing for another minute. rinse, repeat. up on 3 wheels, up on 2, blowing tires off, bottoming out, riding the limiter, hammering the clutch, didn't matter. just horrific mechanical punishment. it trailed choking gray oil smoke, thick and proud behind it on every run.

it made every event and finished every event. it required 1 new shock in the 3 seasons i saw it run, that was its only mechanical repair. i believe it was purchased for $300 as a junker that needed something stupid like a new AC system or tires or whatever and someone just didn't care anymore. it had some kind of close-out snow tires on it and maybe brake pads.

it never set FTD, never made anyone a hero, but a bunch of people got to drive and it was hilarious, no-pressure driving because you just can't have an ego when you drive something that shitty. these kinds of cars (not necessarily a nissan like this one) are worth looking for if you can handle being laughed at.
