Hilarious. Is that your car?

I remember reading about this awesome event! Wasn't the qualification to get in that the car can't cost more than $500 or be worth more than that much? Wonder how many made it the whole 24hrs.

yep. thats is really really awesome....... hmmm will have to put the thinking cap on. i would love to help decorate the car!

Here you go....

Now we just need a $200 car and someone who can weld a safety cage in it. ( any modifications can't exceed $500, that includes the cost of the car)
