Parts of the car that aren’t made of metal are in good shape.  The crushed velour seats are comfortable, and she has no problems saving them to put in another car someday.  The lighting fixtures are still intact, and she pulls them off the car. Assorted bits and bobs get stacked in a corner as the car is stripped of anything useful.

The car isn’t going to need any of those parts, not where it’s going: The Fairgrounds Classic demolition derby!

Lulu Luck loves technology. She loves cars.  It pains her to destroy something, but sometimes you reach a point where there’s nothing else to do with it.  She’s paid good money for this car, and scrapping it will only give her a fraction of the money back.  Even if she sells the good parts, it’s still going to be a net loss.  She may as well have a little fun with it before it goes to the junkyard.

She peels off what's left of the vinyl roof, exposing even more rust on the metal underneath.  Then she grabs a sledgehammer and smashes the windows out.

It takes her a few weeks to get the car ready for its big debut, as she learns the rules and modifies the car accordingly.  She installs a rollcage and all the safety gear that’s required, and also anything that’s recommended.

The last step is painting the car.  She’s not an artist, but she’s happy with the end result: a bright pink car with smiley faces and hippie flowers all over it.  Win or lose, Lulu hopes car #16 will at least move under its own power long enough for her to have some fun.
