    I have a question - do all these spare parts fall under the $500 rule? I mean, having whole spare engines seems more like traditional racing to me (ie. big budget), which doesn't really fall under the heading of LeMons, in my opinion.

    @Jeremy Wilson: Not when you buy parts cars for scrap value (or less; I bought a scrap volvo amazon for 1 cent once, on eBay). We're not talking new, fresh, replacements. We're talking "barely better than the crap we just took out" spares.

    @Jeremy Wilson: ...until you realize it's 5 guys of mediocre skill trying to do major overhauls while rolling in the dirt with 2/3rds of the proper tools.

    When it gets that major, you're really out of the competitive running anyway. It's mostly for glory/bragging rights/masochism.

    You can't kill an old Volvo, even with fire!

    Getting the cranky Italian rebuilt and back on the road..mama-mia, that's amazing.

    A very kind Corolla FX16 team gave us their whole bag of old brake hoses, and luckily, with minimal modification, one of their spares fit the mustang caliper we're using.

    Nothing cleans up an engine bay like a good old fashioned fire! But it will arise from the ashes like a Phoenix (but fortunately, not the Pontiac kind).

    @☠Grяrяrяrяrя, portrait of a chickenwolfmoosepig.: The chicken was my choice, since I got the penalty. My teammates wanted the bunnies humping, but I thought the chicken was more in the spirit of LeMons

    To say they're going to be back...tomorrow...shows Team Tunachuckers should not be messed with in LeMons.

    I mean, that right there is some dedication.

    Uneducated person: "What do you win?"

    I'm surprised there wasn't mention of the car (#51?) that passed during the ensuing red flag, then quickly reversed back into its previous position before the judges could finish tying their noose.

    Damnit, guys, we should be in charge of Jalopnik... Always with the latest news, no more fugly cars (Corvettes included), crappy American muscle car reviews, embarrassing soccer moms' car reviews, LeMons, etc., etc., you name it.

    This commenter just enjoys getting a rise out of everyone by saying how awful American/Japanese cars are and posting "breaking news" in the comments. None of his stuff has particularly warranted banning, but he better hope Ombudsman Al doesn't re-acquire his post.
