The 24 Hours of LeMons Houston Gator-O-Rama wrapped up last weekend without too much of an incident. By the time the brake fires burnt out and the tire smoke cleared, #0 Formula M Racing took the checkers. The guys with the wrinkled Fox Body ‘Stang laid down 442 laps in 13 hours, 4 minutes and [...]

If you’ve hung around Autofiends long enough, you know there are about as many ways to bribe a LeMons judge as there are ways to bring their wrath down on you and your team. If you and your crap-pile pilot friends are looking for a sure fire way to bring the ire of a white [...]

The teams of the 24 Hours of LeMons keep rolling in. Meet team “One Point Twenty One Jiggawatts!” out of Denver. I guess if you kinda squint out of one eye, a 1980 Mazda RX-7 does sort of look like a DeLorean. Sorta. We’re guessing at least one crew member dressed up like Doc Brown [...]

I. Jaguar is putting its 272 hp diesel V6 in the XK. The engine debuts in Europe this spring in the XF saloon sedan, but a thinly disguised XK was caught testing at Nurburgring with a distinctive diesel rattle. Hooray for torques. [Surce: Autocar]
II.  NASCAR rookie Tony Logano will become the youngest ever driver to [...]

[Update: Your links/websites are coming in fastish and semi-furiously. Keep 'em coming] Can I get a yeeha, y’all? The sub-grassroots motorsports revival known as the 24 Hours of LeMons is heading back to Texas in just over one month’s time. Fenruary 28 — March 1, 2009 to be precise. And as LeMons features nothing but [...]

Today is E30 BMW day for Fool’s Gold Twofer Tuesday (credit Jonny’s love of LeMons, and LeMons competitors love of the E30 3-series). And while I don’t pray at the Church of the 3-Series, the E30 is still a winner to me. The 325e was the “efficiency” version of the 3er, which meant that the [...]

Warning: If you’ve never lived in the California Bay Area this post will not be as raucously funny to you as it is to us. Sorry.  Between the bloated bedroom community of San Jose and the marijuana/hippie/prostitute camp known as Santa Cruz stretches Highway 17. A very scenic road to be sure, but one filled [...]

This particular videocomes not from the recent Arse-Freeze-Apalooza, but all the way back to last October and MIR Speedway outside Houston. That’s right, it’s the infamous video of Team V.I.P. Racing (aka The Sharks!) eating rancid pickled pigs’ feet and okra after collecting a then record 8th black flag at Texas LeMons (the Sharks actually [...]

OK, maybe a little bit. Obviously, it’s them damn sharks. The driver is none other than superstar commenter/potty mouth all star Bushwhacker, out all by himself on practice day. And, that’s it.

Yup, you’re looking at it. The first bribe of 2009 took place last Friday, January 9, at the most delicious Oinkster in Eagle Rock, CA. That credit car belongs to a menber of Team Unknown Fluids. He bought me a 1/4 chicken, slaw, french fries (with their killer roasted  garlic aioli)  and a pint of [...]
