    The "stash" for the Chronic Search penalty was found immediately, amid accusations of the lucky justice being part German Shepherd. I thought this was one of the funniest penalties, second only to watching a couple of guys try to put a BMW on 4 jackstands on some very soft ground.

    I also saw 2 or 3 really pissed off drivers writing "Even though I wrote 'I will not go all 4 off' 100 times, I still went all 4 off."

    I do really like the WV Homesteader penalty, but as a stickler for regional accuracy, I feel like this penalty is incomplete without incorporating a satellite dish. And not the modern ones, either. I'm talking about the old-school, whole-yard variety.

    Brilliant. Great competition AND pure hilarity. It's only a matter of time before this show (24 Hours of Lemons) is on one of the higher numbered cable channels. Don't ever change.

    Great post. I think the Mime Your Crime is such a great one, these guys have shown real talent. Also the Walk of Shame people clearly are some multiple offenders.
    Lemons just keeps getting better and better. Impossible, but true. Jay has created a wonderful monster!

    I have a request, your Honor. Inquiring minds also want to know about the BS penalties. In particular, the ones with hundreds or thousands of penalty laps. Justice would be well-served by further embarrassing the miscreants by revealing their shameful violations to the whole Jalopiverse. Thank you.

    @Theimbellis: This is what makes Jalopnik, Jalopnik. LeMons Coverage, Billetproof coverage, DOTS, PCH, NPOCP, plus industry news and reviews... you can find these things piecemeal on other blogs, but only here can you get such a massive overdose of awesome.

    Why do you persist in doing nothing but complain about this blog? I really don't understand it. If I was as constantly annoyed with anything in my life as you seem to be with Jalopnik, you can bet it wouldn't be part of my life much longer.

    As your comments are usually just annoying and not worthy of a brown and red plaid pattern imprinted on your face, I can see how the editors have put up with you. But lately, it just seems to be lots of complaints about how the site is run, which wears thin very quickly to the commentariat, and I'm sure even faster to the editors.

    If you have something constructive to add, please do. Otherwise, please just keep your petty annoyances to yourself.

    @MrHowser: I think he's the one who said he loves Jalopnik, except for the weekends. As many on here know, sometimes the weekends are the best part of Jalopnik.

    I have complained a lot about Jalopnik 2.0, but lately, I'm fine with it. I did vent with Ben's piece last week about Rush Limbaugh, but that was then, and this is today.

    @Theimbellis: I suggest you go back a couple of years, and catch up on how Jalopnik Started. I'm sure you would be bored to death.

    @UDMan: I thought the Rush piece was out of place, too- regardless of your political convictions, this isn't the site to be having articles like that. We all know that arguing poklitics on the intrawebs is about as effective as farting into a hurricane, so let's stick to the stuff we agree on: How Awesome is LeMons? Really Awesome? Awesomely Awesome? Mind-Blowingly, Teeth-Grittingly, Gut-Wrenchingly Awesome?

    A true West Virginia penalty would be the West Virginia movers, requiring the stacking of a large amount of furniture on the car and a slow lap around the paddock to demonstrate the stability of the load.
    /West Virginia: It's, like, a whole other state.

    @Alfisted: As a West Virginia born LeMons racer, I approve this joke. It's my favorite WVa Joke. I almost regret not getting any penalties last weekend, I would have owned the Homesteader penalty, but I wouldn't have been able to do it right, it wouldn't have been safe to set a couch on fire that close to a LeMons car!

    @olmy: Speaking from personal experience, the best way to set a couch on fire is via friction generated as it is dragged behind a pickup on a waterski tow rope. Ideally, the pickup will have at least one blown cylinder so as to blow massive quantities of oil smoke toward the couch's passenger.

    Of course, I'm not from WVa, so maybe y'all have a better way of doing it.

    Too bad that the Fiat 128 was never offered as a two-door in Argentina. Otherwise, this owner wouldn't have had to weld the rear doors shut.


    Makes me wonder about two things: How's access to the rear, and do the rear windows still roll down?

    The '66 Dart is one of my favorites, and '61 was a good year for Chevy.. but help an under-informed (but eager to learn) cargeek out- what are the tan/maroon thing and the green car that looks like a transmogrifier accident involving a Corvair and BMW 2002?
