LeMons 300ZX driver and artist Walker Canada has worked his magic on my original design, and it looks great!


Why, even E30 pilots were eager to have the new Noch Ein Scheiß-E30 ("Yet Another Shitty E30") stencil applied to their rides. Not only that, Walker has printed up a bunch of T-shirts bearing an even better version of the new design... and you can't buy one! Only those at Carolina Motorsports Park in person tomorrow will have a shot at the Next Big Thing in racerwear.

<![CDATA[BMW E30s Get Special Treatment At LeMons South: Noch Einer Scheiß-E30!]]> As everyone who follows our 24 Hours Of LeMons coverage knows, we're all getting tired of the vast numbers of BMW E30s at the races. What to do? Give 'em the mark of shame!

So, with some translation help from Franzouse's Austrian friends, I made a stencil showing a Mr. Yuck-enhanced BMW logo and the words "Noch Einer Scheiß-E30" ("Yet Another Shitty E30"). Every E30 at LeMons South- and we're talking an endless parade here- got stenciled on every available surface, and most recipients were not very happy about it. The other teams were quite pleased, however, so it works out well. So, a message to you LeMons wannabes: before getting an E30, consider another car. Say, a Renault Fuego Turbo, or a VW Squareback!

<![CDATA[LeMons People's Curse Victim: Salazar Racing BMW!]]> As we've seen before, pissing off your competitors in the 24 Hours of LeMons tends to backfire in dramatic fashion. Here's how it works: at the end of the first day of racing, each team votes for the team whose car they most wish to see destroyed the next day. The team with the most votes gets a date with a large piece of construction equipment. Today, the "winner" was Team Salazar Racing and their BMW 325. Make the jump to see the whole gallery and get the rest of the story.



When these guys came to us for the BS Inspection judging, we were pretty sure they were cheating like crazy on the budget numbers (hint: NASA stickers on your intentionally beater-ified BMW don't help), but that's just racing. Sure, there was some grumbling from the (allegedly) more legit BMW teams about perceived high-buck engine mods, but it was the very enthusiastic- some might use a different word- driving style of their team members that really sealed their fate. When the ballots came in, it was a landslide win for the sombrero-equipped E30. The team had a sense of humor about the whole thing, with nary a whine coming from any of them, and the crushing was truly apocalyptic. Come back in a few for the video, courtesy of Mr. Arnold.
