Many cars have been sidelined by the usual mechanical problems, but some have just kept on going around and around and around. With the first session of racing over, we've got three Germans and two Japanese in the top five. At this point, the #5 car sits just two laps behind the #1 car; in fact, a mere 10 laps separates the 20th-place car from the leader. We expect to see some reshuffling of these...

You may remember Pandamonium Racing as the team that brought us the 24 Hours Of LeMons Jackass Reel last year. This is also the team that donated number 43 to the Über Birds. At the moment, Pandamonium leads the race! Of course, they've got quite a few cars looming in the rear-view mirror, and plenty of racing remains. Will they be the lap leader to start the race tomorrow? We'll see!

The VW Golf Mk1 was good enough to be sold for 35 years, and it's not the only vehicle worthy of perpetual production. What retired car should they still make? There are so many great cars we've let pass into oblivion, put out to pasture only to be replaced by cars we like even less than the original. Because it needs to be mass-marketed and have enough safety features to survive, as well as pass...

LeMons race #20 took place last weekend, and we saw a BMW win for the third time . That brings BMW closer to Mazda's and Toyota's five LeMons wins apiece. Let's go check out the other 122 cars now! We had our first-ever British Leyland Index Of Effluency winner (the Mr. Bean 1962 Austin Mini was built prior to the British Leyland era) and the newest entry in LeMons history (2005). It was one of the...

Ahead of the game's multi-platform release on October 27th, Activision and Target will paint racecar driver Martin Truex Jr.'s No. 1 Chevrolet with a DJ Hero theme for his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race tomorrow at Charlotte, North Carolina's Lowe's Motor Speedway. When I think of DJ'ing, racecars aren't what immediately come to mind, but I guess there's a weird crossover in the audiences there?...

On the face of it there shouldn’t be anything like the level of excitement surrounding the Skoda Superb estate. But nobody can deny that there is a buzz around what is essentially a car with a slightly silly name and lots of room in the back. The Superb is big news and, although Skoda is not expecting huge sales figures, it is a very important model for the manufacturer. Despite its obvious good...

A gent named Johan stuck an M-Division S85 V10 in an E30 M3, and the results look nothing short of devastating. No surprise when you add Big Power + Light Car. Stack it up against...

It says it right on the People's Curse ballots: Don't vote to crush a car just because it's ahead of you! Still, that's what happened today; the White Lightning RX-7 got the most votes. Not only that, the second-place Lightning McQueen Jetta got the second- most Curse votes. Now, the People's Curse really is a democracy, so the Mazda was going to get destroyed... unless the people could be persuaded...

The LeMons Supreme Court, in its ongoing attempt to keep the gears of justice oiled with the blood of racing miscreants, created some brutally effective new penalties for the Buttonwillow race last weekend. We didn't have the services of LeMons Supreme Court Justice Damon Lavrinc this time around (he was off ogling Ferraris in Pebble Beach or some such nonsense), but our latest member of the Court...
