I feel like there will be nearly as much carnage at this event as at the first black Friday after furby was released

Added

Like I said, time-frame is pretty open and we'll come up with some more solid dates once the thread has a chance to ferment a little bit more.

I've seen these before.

There are cars that dealers have they would normally sell for scrap but still run. Might as well use them to generate traffic.

Most of these cars will be very high mileage, cosmetically an eye-sore, but still (barely) run. They can write off the difference between junk price and what they sell it for as "marketing", so no real loss there.

The car would have to be street legal, but that is really about it in terms of condition.

Condition doesn't matter if I'm going to drive it into the ground

too bad spokane is 5 hours away

RobertPaulson · 03-11-2015, 02:54 PM

that's what i was thinking, scrap cars that run but they would never sell and are just going to give them away in hopes to drum up foot traffic to try and sell new cars. would be perfect for you guys.

Decay107 · 03-11-2015, 03:03 PM

God, I wish Spokane wasn't so far away.

Then again, a 400 mile trip back would be a pretty good shakedown run.

Wouldn't be worth the trip. Chances are all these really low-ball cars will sell out in the first few minutes of them opening. It would be a land rush sort of scenario.

Dirt/rock mountain passes, a swamp and a dry lake or two in the comedy challenge portion?

Sure, if we can find some! More likely though, it'll be a bit of desert off roading.
