The Operation Car Houses an Adult Version of the Classic Kids' Game

— March 26, 2011 — Autos
If you're in the mood for a blast from the past, you need to check the Operation Car out. The Operation Car has a hood designed to look exactly like the board game -- if the board game involved removing bottles of liquor and candy from the body, that is.

The Operation Car is actually a '91 BMW 321i that was entered into the 2011 24 Hours of LeMons. The Operation Car is filled with enough tasty adult treats and clever puns to break any funny bone, including the "Tobler Bone" and the "Jager Arm," a combination so toxic that it can only be found on the hood of the Operation Car. The Operation Car used its cleverness and adult beverages to propel itself to near-victory in this year's race, placing 55th out of 122. Puns and candy are worth more than a checkered flag any day.
