That’s right, I said it right there in the title, TEAM ANGRY + 24 Hours of LeMons = MAYHEM!! For those of you that have never experienced the 24 Hours of LeMons I can tell you from experience that you are missing one of the greatest automotive racing series in history. Comprised of up to 80 cars at a clip, the 24 Hours of LeMons is the most down to earth, home grown, grass roots form of motor racing there is. The premise is simple, get a car that costs no more than $500, install a roll cage, some safety equipment and a drivers ass in the seat and hit the track for some of the coolest and most competitive endurance racing in existence.

If you’re trolling Craigslist, eBay or AutoTrader looking for a new ride, you’ve probably seen dozens of different terms used to describe used cars. I’ve bought and sold my share of used cars, so I know a thing or two about the terms and what they REALLY mean. In the interest of helping you shop for your next set of wheels, I’ve compiled a list of the most common phrases below. I hope this helps you decide between that “creampuff” Road Runner and the “no disappointments” ‘Cuda.

I can think of no better way to have fun with an old car than to rally the crap out of it through Mother Nature’s backyard. These guys call themselves the Dukes of Milford and they look to be having a blast wringing out the last bits of life from this little Chevy. For all you youngsters out there the Chevrolet Chevette was produced from 1975-1986 and was GM’s answer to the new influx of import cars that were destined to take over American roadways. In the beginning the rear wheel drive Chevette came with a tire burning 70 hp backed by either a 3-speed automatic transmission or a 4-speed manual. In truth these cars were never very good, but they did provide cheap, fuel efficient transportation for those willing to part with $3499.00 in 1975. Now, more than 30 years later we can see that at least one of these little buggers managed to survive… at least until the end of the video anyway. I have to hand it to these guys as the video was actually pretty well shot and provides some good old fashion hooligan inspired entertainment.

This Aussie plumbing van has a V-8 and runs the quarter miles in 11-seconds. The little Mitsubishi hurtles down the strip like a brick shot from a cannon. I love it.

Beware fellow autonauts, for this be a forsaken land full of sorrow and heartache. Even the bold tremble and quake at the horrors that lie beyond these gates. If you choose to enter, be forewarned. You may not return.
