    Default BABE Rally 2008

    The Babe Rally is a beater car rally from the Big Apple to the Big Eazy(BA BE) or from New York to New Orleans. It takes place over Memorial weekend and the main rule is that your car can not have cost over $250.... www.baberally.com

    I just bought a 1990 VW Fox this saturday for $250 for this rally..... it is a true POS.....

    So far the team is myself and a buddy here in town named Josh. I am reserving judgement about the car's viability until I hear it run.... hehehe I think we are gonna take the week off before the rally and do a little sight seeing.... who knows at this point. If i could figure a cheap way to ship it to NY I would....

    I surprised cheap rallies like these still exist with gas prices so high. Just driving to Albuquerque and back took a bite out of my wallet.

    Well Josh and I went and picked up the Fox today and took it to the car wash straight away. Power washed the main layer of dirt and neglect away, soak the engine in degreaser and vacumed out the years of crap that was in the car. Its like a different POS now. The starter is in route and we will see if she is a runner...
