At the Charlotte AutoFair last month the Speedycop Upside-Down Camaro got featured in the "Best of the Best" garage area. Can't think of a lot of Lemons cars that would earn that honor.
Great wrap up, guys! This wacky car sure has been a source of lots of entertainment over the years. Never did I ever think that building a crapcan race car would be our ticket to Hollywood (or Studio City, to be precise).
Not only was the engine in four different cars, those four cars represented three generations of two different models in fact. The long block originally came out of an E34, and was transplanted into an E28 before we picked it up after the guy with the E28 decided to put in a later M54 IIRC. We swapped on an E36 oil pan and moved it to our E30 (der Wienerschmoker and its later pickup truck configuration, for those who were around the California Lemons scene in 2009 and 2010) where it replaced the M20 that we blew at the August 2009 Buttonwillow race, and was run in three races before we retired the car after the 2010 season, and subsequently sold it to Scott and the guys from Porcubimmer.
Ultimately what we learned is that the ultimate parts bin cars were not from GM as common wisdom would have you believe, but rather late '80's and early '90's BMWs.
From the awful knocking sound that the M50 is making now, it may have finally met its end.
And while these are parts bin engines, the non-VANOS version is kind of a pain to have because the electronics on them were only used for a couple of years and are not compatible with VANOS
@@ltdscott Nevermind this particular E30s insatiable appetite for fuel level senders. Derp.
Should have put some speed holes in the bonnet.
"D'oh!"

I'm glad to hear The Homer is still going on strong.
The only bmw with the pricks on the outside haha
I thought that they did such a great job on the fascia for Prickstine that the Homer was anticlimactic.
The bort license plate is the cherry on top.
That was given to us by a friend of the team who legitimately had this plate on his car when he used to live in Utah. It's one of my favorite details.
omg they finally built it
When its racing days are over it should go on display at Fox Studios
Ah The Homer, I remembers ye well. Hath 25 yearns & more now gone so fleetingly, as we hardly knew ye....
One of my all time favorite hot wheels I kept in the package lol. The Homer is awesome
PUT IT IN "H"!
Probably my favorite Lemons car of all time.
Why aren't we allowed to watch videos of the races?
i always thought the Homer was wrecked, but i didn't know it returned! if it stops being raced, it should be in a collection of shitty cars
