    Someone's Gonna Get Fired: LeMons Cars Invited To Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance

    The Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance is a super-upscale car shows, with the rich folks showing off their high-buck machines. This time, the organizers had the bright idea of inviting five 24 Hours Of LeMons racers. You figure it's going to look like Caddy Day at the pool, right? More »
