We were all shocked by the Honda CBR900RR-powered Geo Metro that won the 24 Hours Of LeMons, nearly as much as we were shocked by the fact that its scary-ass chain drive didn't kill anyone.
Now LeMons Supreme Court Justice Lieberman has found a great in-car video made by the maniacs that took the checkered flag in the Metro Gnome. It's got echo-y flashbacks, 9,000 RPM upshifts, and- repeatedly- the sight those of us at Thunderhill saw all weekend: the little red Metro somehow avoiding chain failure and/or getting squashed like a bug by a Crown Vic… and passing everything on the track.

The awesomeness of this video makes me yearn for more, and no longer lament the fact that the still-born Top Gear USA was going to be a steaming pile of hobo crap.

BTW: That last "pass" was hoonerific.
Good job guys.
