    comments

    Looking for some a mid-80s supercar, but don’t want something so common as a Ferrari 328 or Lotus Esprit? In the market for a Lamborghini, but the Urraco is just too blasé? For a mere $44,950 you can have the thrill of owning one of the most obscure Lamborghinis ever. [Ed: sorry for the missing…

  • Photos from LeMons: Almost Like Being There

    comments

    LeMons Assistant Perpetrator Nick Ponn, also known as theeastbaykid, has headed off on an interesting mission. While everyone else was paying attention to the races going on around the track, he was out behind them breaking into and stealing things from photographing the participants’ cars.

    Some stereotypes are false- white people can’t dance, zombies eat only brains, etc. But some stereotypes are proven time and time again, and thankfully we now have a plethora of security cameras to document those involving parking lots and the callous douchebaggery of certain BMW drivers. This individual wasn’t at all concerned that the two…

    comments

    In yesterday’s Name That Part, I gave you two pieces of scrap metal, each about the size of my fingernail. I got messages from people who weren’t playing telling me I was being mean, or that I wasn’t playing fair. And Mike the Dog got the right answer. Yes, they were indeed two contacts from…

    With the pagan ritual known as Hallowhoon just around the corner, I thought it might be a good opportunity to take a look at some car-related horror movies to fit the season. If you’ve ever been a teenager on a date, you know that nothing gets her scrunched up next to you better (or is…

    comments

    Hemmings comes up with some odd-ball stuff from time to time, and today’s find is one of the oddest. Yeah, that’s an Eldorado Shooting-Brake with a pair of lovely caddy humps on the fenders pretending to cover the dual spares. Hemmings says that it was a George Barris creation, named Casa de Eldorado, and based…

    Like I said before, our LeMons BMW 633csi has given me a bad case of BMWs-with-overbite fever (hyperarchomunichosis, in technical terms). As such, I’ve got saved searches on Craigslist, eBay and Autotrader classic for 70s and 80s BMW 5 and 6-series cars. With the reserve met at a mere $999, today’s find may well be…

  • What Do You Call a Creeper That Hauls Ass?

    comments

    We strongly recommend you take a look at this guy’s videos and the work he put into building this contraption ASAP. Why? Because it won’t be long before we hear about his untimely death and it’s all pulled from the web. But hey: not many better ways to go than a motorized creeper accident.

    We’ve spoken before of our admiration for anyone insane brave enough to take on the challenge of rally racing; but there is a certain, higher level of admiration that is reserved for anyone who was willing to leap head-first into the old, legendary “Group B” racing class.

    comments

    Jeff Glenn is not just high-ranking member of the LeMons ruling cabal, he’s also responsible for some of the best trophies in the Hooniverse. Honestly, it’s worth making the trip out to a LeMons race just to check these things out in person. The level of detail and absurdity of the parts involved surely merits…

  • Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V Rips Sub-12 Quarter- OnStar High-Fives Them Over the Phone

    comments

    Here’s a promotional video for the 700+ horsepower Hennessey CTS-V doing some quarters while testing. The in-car video is pretty good, but what makes it even better is that the brutal acceleration triggers the OnStar® accident warning and dials up a friendly operator who, like all OnStar® operators, exhibits a sweet southern drawl while making…

    This morning’s Mystery Car proved a little tougher than I originally thought, and while there were some close shots, nobody came up with the exact answer, which is. . . a Fiat Moretti Sportiva II!

    And now for something completely different. I get songs stuck in my head a lot. As I do, they tend to morph into new songs based on the things I see around me. Sometimes I write them down. Usually, when I do, people ask me not to.

    Fear not, fellow hoonigans. This site’s creed shall always be firmly about the weird, the wacky, the wild, the wonderful, the wandering, the unloved, the plebeian, and the occasionally truly WTF (which usually hail from Canada it seems).
