Take one awful, Malaise Era Cadillac Eldorado, remove most of the glass, add a roll bar, Kermit the Frog and a set of ten-point antlers — don’t forget the speed holes in the trunk — and go racing’! That’s what the Redneck Racing Team did. And not only did they finish a very respectable 28th (out of about 103) but the won the most important prize at LeMons: the hugely coveted Index of Effluency. If you (somehow) don’t know, the Index goes to the team that did the most with the least — i.e. the true spirit of LeMons award. I’m not sure if RRT’s Edlo had the totally terrible 4.1-liter V8 or the hella heinous 4.5-liter V8 — but talk about least. And the door-handle rubbing handling — egads! You have to see it to believe it. Which is why you must jump.

You don’t so much watch this video as you do listen to it. If tire squeal happens at or beyond 9/10s, this guy is the world’s best amateur driver. However, I’m thinking there’s so much squealin’ because the Caddy’s so fricking horrid. We’re talking ten pounds of crap in a five pound bag terrible. There’s also the high pitched sound of metal being scored, which I can’t quite place my fingers on. Though it could be the rear end trying to kill itself. Nice cameo by the Shark at around four minutes in. Thanks to Nick “Double Deuce” Pon for the pic.
