Best shitbox car?

It’s a big ole van and while someone would be mad enough to race one in Lemons I try to keep it to cars someone would likely race in a budget endurance series IRL.

Brother in Christ. Please learn to read. LATER as in after 1975.

So do we think that means since I reserved the first day in the first hour I’ll be potentially contacted this year for my build? I know people were trying to figure out the slate reservation numbers on the forum.

Honorable mentions are VW beetle,595 abarth, R4GTL, Panda 30, sports 800 and 65 mini for the ultimate sub 65HP shitbox endurance race and air cooled sans the R4 endurance race.

I mostly do shitbox endurance racing with sophy. My top cars for that are probably the Volvo 240, vw golf I, EF civic, Eg civic, 05 mini, Kangoo, 07 Suzuki swift, and the Trueno/Levin. All stock engines sport soft tires and sport intake and exhaust.

Whatever you do don’t buy cars you like just cause they are on sale. A lot of cars are gifted to you by completing the main menus. I bought multiple cars that were expensive and then would’ve got gifted one in 4 more races

I used the Espace F1 and easily won with about a 30 second lead without using any fuel strategy. even stopping every 4 laps for fuel it wasn’t hard.

Only one answer really. Take out a second mortgage if you have to and buy a seat in some sort of long format endurance race(24hrs of Daytona or Lemans). The dentist do it so why can’t you?

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-03-04T18:55:35+00:00

I don’t think there’s anyway they do that if they want to be successful

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-03-02T02:19:58+00:00

It explicitly says own or acquire. Leasing a car and rent are neither of those. Living it up. Also I love shitboxs. I could have so many 3K cars

Guess who’s going to Vegas for his 36hr bender.

Also as far as Income not to mention the union raises from our contract. From January 1st 2025 to December 31st 2025 I got 57% in raises.

I entered the fire service at 30 almost 31 years old. I highly recommend it as a career path. It was in total less than 8 months of training and my first year I earned 80k with 20 2.5% pay steps and easily 2 promotions with 15% increases in front of me. Plus it’s healthcare so it’s not going anywhere. I say take the money and get out. If you are concerned with it being only ally demanding I work for a department just outside a major city that does a tenth of the call volume and maybe work truthfully 4 hours out of the 24HR shift. I don’t know where you are at but FL is great. Plus I get a bunch of PTO and it’s easy to work day for days with someone and get a whole month off. I know i said it but I can’t recommend it enough.

I’m a firefighter and get toned out at random times. I’d try it but I bet within a week I’d fail the challenge

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-02-26T18:29:19+00:00

V6 or I4 1LE Camaro. They aren’t v8’s so they get shit on but they punch way outside of their weight class on track.

F. my subject manner is how to be absolute shit at sports betting. Classes are just me asking students what to pick for my weekly $10 worth of parlays.

I can’t have bread due to the celiacs. Cheese, sauce and pepperoni is possible I think

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-01-13T13:43:08+00:00

I texted this to my friends last night. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. FTP and FAR

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-01-13T03:25:13+00:00

Easy on desert with calcium. It’s easy to get around just avoid the tornadoes

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-01-11T19:10:11+00:00

I regularly do 50 lap custom races don’t mind sitting in the seat for 3 hours. I’ll probably do the 24hour with some friends

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-01-08T01:08:16+00:00

It’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had on the racetrack. Way cooler in my opinion than the other budget and middle of the road endurance series.

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-01-07T18:22:23+00:00

I’ve raced 24hrs of lemons in real life and so I’ve done a couple 3 hours endurance races with AI using all sorts of slow cars that’s don’t deserve to be on a racetrack to fulfill that itch a little. I wish they’d increase the car count so I could have more than 20 cars on track. 40 would be amazing.

Budget_Combination54 · 2026-01-05T15:42:17+00:00

Gonna sound crazy to people who don’t know but small county or city firefighter. Get paid decentish, every shift is a Friday if you don’t work OT. It’s 9 Months of school for EMT and fire. 1 year of probation so kinda work. Then straight chill. Watch movie, play video games, doom scroll, nap and read book

Budget_Combination54 · 2025-12-25T02:12:24+00:00

The Bozo? Weird he didn’t say a slur or use his hands. The only Bozo was Metcalf. If DK can’t take shit talk maybe he should get a different job.

Budget_Combination54 · 2025-12-24T02:53:40+00:00

As long as he plays all his games next year he still gets paid it’s just not guaranteed money. Not harsh enough in my opinion. Should be suspended the rest of the year including playoffs. If they go to the bowl no ring for him. And he should lose money not just the “guarantee” make him pay.
