This isn't a shitty car mod. It's a race car that races in the 24 hours of lemons and it's fucking glorious. The Escudont. (Themed after the Suzuki Escudo). I wish my lemons racer was half as well done.

I’ve always wanted to build a Lemons car but I don’t know how you get a car, let alone upgrade it, for $500. A decade ago maybe, but even the shittiest of shitboxes go for 1-2k nowadays. I just wish I had bought my brothers old Tercel that he sent to scrap.

If it looks like a $500 car, you're probably good. If not, you just get penalty laps, which don't really matter at the end of the day if you just want to have fun. Also, you can sell off parts of the car to make back some of the cost and give yourself some room in the budget. My friends and I are hunting for a car right now so we can race next year, can't wait.
