Vaporware Motors Inc: The car of the future, never being built today.

YAY! DOTS Monterey Edition. Awesome.

While feasible under price constraints, a Jag V12 at LeMons is asking for pain on a massive masochistic level. The damn thing will break every other lap, and there are no speed gains at all with the engine due to weight and engine crappiness. And the Effluency prize will still go to someone else in an Alfa, Peugeot or…

@Murilee Martin: Good ol' Judge Murilee forgot the loophole I made him confess the other day (the case of the twin Alfa Romeos): You could cheat your way to victory at LeMons by bringing two identical cars and switching them away from the judges irate-red-bloodshot-eyes. He said it, not me!

OMG. He should call the Top Gear USA guys to sell it to them for top $$$. They can totally do a 'Worst car in US History' challenge. The Yugo against the Renault Alliance and the Ford Pinto.

In my own personal automotive history, the Maverick has the (probably undeserved) honor of being the first car I lusted for and got me to pay attention to cars. It belonged to an aunt of mine and was a 1972 cherry red with a black pleather interior. I still remember it fondly. When I grew up I asked her to let me buy…

we'll admit; in fact, it's the most expensive vehicle in Project Car Hell history: one million Euros!

@Murilee Martin: I guess this not a Lemons project then. Why the Buick engine? Go with a bigger one instead. A Ford V8 should fit in there, no problem.

Gawd!! I SOOO Want one of these ones. I am drooling like an idiot. (more than usual anyway) Maybe in a few years, when I grow tired of my VW Phaeton and the car is a reasonable $60K.

Ha! Gotta love this guy with the 53 Chevy:

@Van Sarockin: All I care is to see the time these ones would do at the 'Ring! I bet the right amount of noodles will help the rickshaw beat the Veyron.

Here in the Bay Area, there's a few street spots that do reasonably well. If the car is above $3,000 and in decent shape, El Camino Real in front of Stanford University is a good place. If the car is a beater, priced less than $3,000, the Oakland and San Jose Flea market's adjacent streets are full of people looking…

@FuzzyPlushroom: it probably had 30K miles because the damned thing needs a head gasket every 500 miles.

@MattP: ARRGHHH!! Take it away, take it away now!! please!! before my PTSD kicks in 3..2..1...

@graverobber- Two BEER minimum: Er... in a good way. Don't die or nuthin' specially not after restoring a Jag XKE

@graverobber- Two BEER minimum: A Happy Ending??? You're mellowing out for sure dude. Hope that vision comes for real for you in the future.

@POLAЯ!: Ha! Good to see you Dick Cheney is going to get pissed you keep giving away the undisclosed location. (yeah he's in Canada)

@Ray Wert: Actually, this gives me an idea (to you and Murilee), how about a weekly DOTS International Edition? If anyone goes to Havana, Cuba(legally, of course) that would be awesome.

Dudes... Mexico suffered through 3 decades of automotive famine of choices for sedans from the 60's to the 90's. You could have a VW Bug (as 90% of the population did), a VW Rabbit (called 'caribe' for the preppies) or the Jetta, GM flooded the market with Caprices, Cavaliers, Cutlasses, and Citations and Ford had the…

This is the most insane attempt at LeMons I've ever seen! Alfa Romeos for LeMons? Even if they get them to run, They will be sublime to drive for the few hours (less than 8) that work well, followed by nothing but pain. Even if you get two, that's just twice the hell son! Next thing, someone will show up in to LeMons…
