Demolition Derby
Anybody ever entered a derby before? What car did you use and how did you do? If I could ever find a junked out Sonata or Elantra, I would turn it into a derby car and see how it does. Probably not well since most derby cars are all steel and metal. A plastic import would probably fall apart after the first hit.

the best derby cars are things like X3s and geos etc. ALl the heavier cars tend to get bogged after a short while.
All you are really worried about is protecting the radiator. It doesn't matter if the body gets a bit beaten up

The best derby cars are giant behemoths from the 60's with body on frame construction. I would hate to see what they would do to an X3.
