Team Titlemax prepares for 2010 24 hours of Lemons season

Quest for a Lemon

After doing 3 24 Hours of Lemons races in 2009 in a SVX with a modified 3rd gen Camaro cage, I decided I would find a car to campaign that has a cage that won't kill me. The SVX was very fast by lemons standards, so I had big shoes to fill. I have a couple buddies that are Sentra-savants and they convinced me that if I bought a Sentra SE-R, that it would be the fastest thing ever. After searching and test driving death traps all over middle Tennessee, one of our prospective drivers had an idea to put a WTB ad on Craigslist. We called him an idiot. There will be way too many serial killers replying. Well the one and only response came from a lady with a 95 Sentra SER and she was 5 miles from my house! I went by and after her blind dog bit me in the hand, I asked how much? She said, well I was trying to get $700, but...... The ad explained about the $500 limit and i reiterated, stating that $500 was all I could do. She said she could do that because she had a titlemax loan that was coming due the next day. I felt guilty immediately, but then she acted excited about what I was going to do with the car and I think she may have wanted some Bob-action. She said if you can bring me cash we can go to titlemax right now. Done deal! Sweet!
