A short lived theme, but one of our favorites. Continuing our trend of movie trucks, we recreated the evil-spirit-alien-possessed big-rig from Steven King's cocaine induced 80's calamity of a movie... MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
The 24 Hours of Lemons is the only race series where you can actually win awards by blowing your car up! We're so good at it we've earned 2x "Heroic Fix" awards. This gallery is dedicated to the parts that failed and resulting fixes.
Our most beloved theme... Snowman's Kenworth. This bite-size replica bootlegged 24 cases of Coors straight into the hearts (and gullets) of the 24 Hours of Lemons Staff. In our first race as Snowman's Kenworth we won not only the coveted C-Class Win, but also the top prize in all of 24HoL, the Index of Effluency. [...]
The original theme, the Georassic Park'd Furd Exploder.

This gallery documents the early days of the Geo build. Pulling the car out of a junkyard, transporting it home, stripping the nasty interior, mounting the new components, and the roll cage build. You might notice that much of the work was done in my single car garage!

The engine in the car is straight out of a junkyard and completely untested. The suspension is a cobbled together mess of [...]
The previous chapter ended on a note of desperation. A junk engine, an excess of RTV silicone, and a pile of useless aluminum was all we had to show for our efforts on the donor engine at the KL#2 shop (Aaron’s house). Meanwhile, at KL#1 (Gary’s House) plenty of other destruction was taking place, except [...]
As you read in Chapter 1, we found our race car. She was a beauty. She was ready to soar through the kink at CMP at track record speeds…well, not really… it doesn’t actually do anything a car should do (such as propel itself and stop). We started making a list of problems to fix, [...]
Chapter 1: The GEO. We've had our taste of Lemons racing, and it tastes good. Racing with The Squirting Coronas is a blast (as all things with lemons are) and we learned a ton about what makes a great team, and how to have fun. The Mercedes we drive is great, really great...too great for [...]
