Supposedly we had 185 teams signed up for the Sears Pointless 24 Hours of LeMons, which may be a record for road racing, but only 150 or so managed to get their heaps running well enough to make it through the pre-race inspections Friday. “Only” is a relative term, though; scrutinizing 150 terrible clunkers for safety and adherence to the LeMons $500 budget limit makes for a long, long day.

Some of these vehicles look suspiciously like expensive, exotic Italians. Since that can't possibly occur at a LeMons event I shall await the uber-gallery and subsequent explanations from Murilee.
I'm surprised there isn't more Panther love instead of all those Civics.
I am still amazed that you guys can find anything for $500 that doesn't require considerable additional investment. I didn't intend to participate but out of curiosity I looked around to see what was available for $500. Maybe I looked in the wrong place, but I couldn't find anything close. So to the participants who manage...well done.
