The Top 113 Lemons Of The 24 Hours Of LeMons South Fall 2009

The 19th race in the history of the 24 Hours Of LeMons is over, and Mazda has tied Toyota for the title of Most LeMons Wins: five apiece!

For Toyota, three Supras and two Corollas have taken an overall LeMons win, while last weekend's Mazda victor made it two RX-7s, two Miatas, and a Protege. After that, Honda/Acura and BMW have two wins apiece. The heat was a major factor, with brake failures and blown head gaskets aplenty, and five cars caught on fire over the weekend. We also saw the LeMons debut of several Detroit machines, including a Contour, a Sebring, and a Beretta; the Contour and Beretta died during the first half-hour, but the Sebring went on to place an astonishing 14th.
