Why this car exists

The car is the joke.
The mission is not.

We needed a way to make people stop scrolling. The fastest way we know is a Porsche dressed like it has a serious job and a deeply unserious past. The car is bait. Lemons of Love is the reason any of this exists.

Bad Idea #007

A QR code where the badge used to be

Donate from your phone before the car finishes a lap. Some say it's tacky. We say it's a feature.

Bad Idea #088

Wing big enough to file FAA paperwork

It generates more attention than downforce. That is the entire point.

The car is bait. The mission is the catch.
