    It is with sad news that I must report that the infamous 1963 Corvair Sedan that participated in the New England edition of the 24 Hours of Lemons during the past couple of years has been retired to that great bone-yard in the sky. There are several reasons why this happened, and none of them…

    Part 2 of my LeMons New England excursion. This time, I actually get to drive the damn thing. Read Part 1 here! Barely minutes after the Corvair heads to the track, it was seen turning back into the pits. “He’s pulling in, he’s coming in,” our team shouted, dashing down the grandstand to find out…

    Because Hooniverse knows you’re never sick of LeMons coverage, here’s my report from the Boston Tow Party and Overhead Cam Bake that would have run earlier, if my laptop hadn’t died a crippling, painful death.

    I was going to open this post with something witty, but I really can’t top this video. It was located on the 24 Hours of LeMons Forums, and it shows you what can happen when you lose your cool and let your emotions take over.

    Just to wet your appitite for this upcoming weekend, I decided to re-visit this little video from the local Fox Station affiliate Fox 61. They did a great job outlining the race, with a bit of color commentary, a lot of humor, and a bit of banter after the segment aired. I don’t remember any…

    Yes, the Corvair lives. Late Sunday, the engine cranked over, and smoked profusely (because of all the Marvel Mystery Oil no doubt) but the little engine that could is running, though not as healthy as last year. Read more after the break….
