Gas Station Surprise
If you see this car anywhere on the east coast of the united states don’t hesitate to pick up your phone and dial 1.800.WTF.OMFG
I think it’s a Volkswagen!
Sometimes you just have to let people know what’s under the snow.

24 Hours Of LeMons
24 Hours of Lemons, March 26-27 2011, Infineon Raceway.
Epic. Winning. Totally frickin’ amazing. Overflowing with awesome. These are some of the phrases I caught myself saying over and over again as I witnessed my first 24 Hours of Lemons this past weekend at Infineon Raceway. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that cars worth $500 or less could be so legendary.
Throughout the race it was easy to see some teams really went above and beyond doing big things (that’s what she said) when it came to setting a theme for their car. Standouts included the Back to the Future car (sorry, no DeLorean) equipped with the pole and hook used to send Marty back to the future, a VW Rabbit with a top hat on the roof of the car that, when the brakes were used, had a pair of rabbits that would pop out of the hat, a 1 of 1 Molvo aka a Mazda Miata fabricated within an old Volvo station wagon, and the crown jewel of them all, a Ferrari 250 GTO replica.
I think the best part of the entire race though, were the pits. Hearing the banging of sledgehammers straightening out a fender, the staunch smell of gasoline, reciprocating saws going to town on the undercarriage, and what I thought best epitomized the whole 24 Hours of Lemons experience, a midrace engine swap. The people were funny, posed for pictures and gave their insight as to what they think is the key to victory (don’t be fooled by the shenanigans, racing is serious bidness!).
Though this was indeed my first Lemons, it certainly, without a doubt, will not be my last. Watch out for team CarGods at the August race!

Overloading
This poor little Volkswagen has been defeated by the load of wood it was forced to carry!
(text/info provided by our dear friend Andy A.)
The stupidity of some people in this world never fails to amaze me. The photo above was taken in Waldorf, Maryland by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw the overloaded red Jetta there in the parking lot of IHOP, he went and bought a disposable camera to take pictures. Note the exhaust smoke, indicating that the car is running.
The materials were loaded at a nearby Home Depot where the store manager made the customer sign a waiver before loading the vehicle. On the roof are many 2X4s, 4X4s and OSL sheets of lumber.
A woman is either asleep or otherwise zonked out in the front seat passenger side. Witnesses said the physical state of both the guy and woman was “other than normal.” Note than in addition to the lumber on the roof, the back seat contains ten 80-pound bags of concrete! Home Depot estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs.
The car is a VW Jetta with Florida plates. Although both back tires were flattened and the back shocks were driven up through the floorboard, the guy took off on US Route 301 saying he was headed for Annapolis, more than 40 miles away!
No doubt they were headed home to build a crack house.
