Scuderia Ignorante is a loose association of misguided souls who love cars, love watching racing, and as such have always wanted to try their hands at being "real" race car drivers.
The strongest ties that bind this group are that they all lack the motivation, dedication, and common sense to go about that dream properly.
Therefore, they choose to do it in half-assed (if they get lucky) fashion, by participating in the 24 Hours of Lemons so-called race.
Although practically anyone with a pulse, a sense of humor, and a checkbook can apply to enter the 24 Hours of Lemons races, Scuderia Ignorante is grossly underqualified.
What's worse, is that they've only paid lip service to this endeavor to date. Well, that's not totally true. They've "almost bought" several cars, and actually bought 1 car. It's a 1984-ish Maserati Biturbo. That's been sitting outside for many years. Athough we've heard it actually starts and drives.
Worse yet, both team principals of Scuderia Ignorante are basically homeless in that they live in spare bedrooms and dinky apartments, with neither possessing anything resembling a garage to act as a race shop. Which is why the car sits where purchased, several hours away from where any team member pitches their tent.
So lets take inventory of the team assets:
1) titular ownership of (but not possession of) a crappy italian "sports" car that purportedly runs and drives
2) internet connection
3) too much free time
4) more money than common sense (though inventories of both are immesurably small)
5) a target date of June 4th 2010 for this crapcan to be LeMons worthy
What could possibly go wrong?
