Get ready for another 24 Hours of LeMons weekend, folks, because the Detroit(ish) race is coming up this Saturday! The Toledo race may be the most punishing of all the LeMons events, because it's the only one that literally runs for 24 straight hours. Last year's Detroit People's Choice winners- who work as designers for The General when they're not building cheap race cars- have upped the ante this time around, by building a truly astounding deuce-and-a-half out of a '91 GMC Sonoma. Yes, you really are looking at dual rear axles on a $500 truck… and there's more lunacy we aren't even seeing yet! Make the jump to see all the photos and read the team statement. More »

We've got enough hopped-up supercars and luxury coupes in the Fantasy Garage, yeah?

And I'm an atheist. More »

My most vivid LA Auto Show memory happened when I was about ten-years-old. Pops and I walked from one of the Convention Center's main rooms and into the ante-room which housed such automotive misfits as the Vector W8. It was in this tent room that I first laid eyes upon the Italian glory that was; the LM002. AKA Rambo's Lambo. Herr Winkelmann just confirmed that after he cycles through the next edition Murcielago (yawn) and Gallarado (snooze), Lamborghini will produce a Cayenne Turbo slaying LM002 replacement! A) I want a poster for my wall B) It better have a spot to mount a Browning .50 caliber. – Loverman More »
