    Is #30 an 80's Nissan Maxima? That should not be in there! :(

    what the fuck is #30? is it a Honda, BMW, or a Benz?


    and seriously, #7 isn't car related and neither is #9 or #25...

    @B1663R: #25 is a train car... I used to do that with my HO trains all the time. Run the train really fast (of course) and flip a switch right between the front and rear truck of a car! Repeat with all the cars in the train and you end up with an accordion! Good times...

    Why are there pictures of photography equipment in #30 & #31? Some kind of artsy-fartsy thing?

    @MMFB: Yes. In fact, the Veyron's roo-fumbrella isn't designed to keep things out, but rather to diffuse the light inside, especially when the passenger is holding a light bulb, especially when it's raining.

    In reply to The Top 100 Lemons Of The 24 Hours Of LeMons Arse Freeze-A-Palooza
    Alright, this has to be one of the greatest LeMons races ever. The astonishing number of different cars that you would have never expected to compete, let alone finish, is certainly awe inspiring. Discounting the number of E30's (and other BMW's), MR2's, and Miatas (those seem to show up everywhere!), the rest of the field is nothing short of, well, amazing.


    But I really want to single out a few of my favorites in this race because I thought they made this event very memorable:

    #64 - The Motoring J Style Isuzu. Finishing second place in what is considered Japan's Fiat. Way to go.

    #58 - Bigfoot Escort. Finishing 3rd in an 88HP s**tbox is either lucky, or very skilled.

    #11 - Hurling Moss BMW 2002. Usually I hate the BMW's, but this one, covered in vegitation, and rust, still managed to finish in the top 10!

    #33 - the Yellow B-210. A Malaise Era subcompact.... love it.

    #30 - the 57 Chevolvo. Amazing body work, stunning to look at in pictures.

    #44 - The Green Hornet. A Racing, Malaise era AMC.

    #61 - a 1965 or 66 Mustang. Another 60's era rust bucket competing. Need more of these type of vehicles in this type of race environment.

    #54 - Unsafe at any speed. A 65 Corvair after my own heart. It's a learning curve for this team.

    #57 - Truckster Pinto. I thought this was the best theme.

    Honorable Mentions: Loved the Faster Farms Belevedere, the Bi Polar Express, and was amazed with the performance of the TR7's, the Jaguar XJ-S, and the 914.

    #30 (Volvrolet) is still my choice for daily driver. What's the front bumper from, anyway?


    The #81 Crown Vic just looks natural with the Canada goose on top.


    What's with the smokestacks on the #62 CRX?


    Team Robbery's Integra is pretty badass, and "We Each Hit Racing" is one of the more clever names I've seen. Credit as well goes to the "Car I Wanted In High School".


    No more baby seat for the Bernal Dads?


    Oh, yeah, and the "Maulbros" Fancy Junk 6-series deserves mention, as well.

    @FuzzyPlushroom:
    The smokestacks on the LeMons Demolition CRX make up their functional exhaust. They won an award for it at the ceremony.
