Autoball: Soccer, with cars.

I've seen this and would love to try it. I have a 96 Thunderbird. It would make a great attacking midfielder. What position would your cars be good in?

My nimble '00 Jetta could distribute the ball throughout midfield.

I don't know garfield...you may need some steroids to beef up the Jetta a bit.

yeah, the 115 horsies probably won't cut it, though the gear ratio is sweet which makes for a deceptively fast and agile ride.

I haven't got a car, so I'll have to be ref.

You could be keeper...

What position would your cars be good in? Er, I've got a Renault Clio. 'On the bench' would be best, and 'left out of the team' even better.

I've got an Outback Sport...I'm thinking sweeper? That AWD has to be good for something.

My Lincoln Town Car would make a great place from which to completely ignore a soccer game. :)

Lincoln Town Car would make a great owner/chairman.

My Subaru wagon is quite quick and nimble, but it kinda has a big ass. It would probably work out well playing behind the strikers. If I had a Mini, I'd be a winger.

Two H2s would be the central defense. And you can just park an Escalade in front of goal. Hoohoohoo.

Touring class as attacking midfield. An Exotic up front, alongside alittle Mopar special.

I've got a motorcycle - does that make me a striker? *clueless*

Motorcycle = kid that comes out and tries to score a goal during halftime.

I'd put my 4Runner in the goal, I love to make those leaping saves to knock away shots aimed at the top corners. Does anyone have a recent year Mustang to play on the left wing?

HA!! So here is my lineup... Escalade (K) Corolla (LB) Volvo Wagon (CB) Volkswagen SUV (CB) Jetta (RB) Thunderbird, i.e., Me (RM) Camaro (CM) Golf Turbo (CM) Mini Cooper (RM) Viper (RS) Ferrari (LS)

Or something like that...

I think Escalade blew a tire, and Volvo Wagon broke down (again, I think the radiator blew). You can replace Escalade with the really slow but very big 18-Wheeler. Maybe sub in a Ford truck (slower but damn big and scary) for the Volvo.
