Yes, it's a huge Ford County Squire wagon.

And it's racing.

But not quarter mile racing like one would think. It's running an autocross.

For something as big and heavy as this thing is, the driver hustles it through the cones quite well.

LOL seems to handle really well, I tried to get my Malibu to do that and well lets talk about massive wheel spin.

That racks right up there with the Hornet my Dad used to let me drive around the parking lot with...

That's great. There's something cool about being so different and accomplishing that in spite of people saying it can't be done.

hey it's PainTrain!!! ...errrr I mean Scorps. What's up? It seems like you've been gone a long time ...or have you just been hanging around in other sections here that I don't go to?

You'd have to replace all the paneling and hood with fiberglass and... jesus, it'd be expensive to make that a viable option for autoX.

It'd just be cheaper to go buy a used 914 for like $1200.
