Everything about the metrognome was, is, and will continue to be ill advised. You have been warned!

It's time for another installment in the Mental Metros engine-swap series. Have you ever driven a Geo Metro and wished that the passenger seat was replaced w...

This was the first shakedown day back in 2014 for the lightly used MRsakibomb (Kawasaki powered by previous owner). We were embarrassed by all the high dollar Nissan GTRs and Porsches at this event but still impressed with the potential of the car. @ Auto Club Speedway

Ever seen a pull-start Mazda Miata? Well, there's at least one and it runs the 24 Hours of Lemons TrackTuned made a great video about it.

Today's fun fact. Going back all the way to 2011, the past 7 lemons Thunderhill races have had only two teams produce overall winners.

The 24 Hours of LeMons doesn’t really celebrate its own history much, but December 2017 will mark the 10th anniversary of the series’ first race on a Real Road Course™. That was the first Arse-Free…

OG gnomer Dan has a bunch of broke ass hoopties and nothing to race! Know a team looking for a terrible driver for Thunderhill or Miller this year? Send us a message, because "us" equals Dan.

Miss the Gnome? Of course not. But if you're in the bay area this weekend, come on out and watch its new owners compete against the Black Iron MRsaki. We've fixed a few dozen more ills with the car, so hopefully only a few dozen left to find this weekend.

California's Sonoma region is renowned for its micro-climate producing some remarkable grapes for wine production and the region thereby being known as a Classy Place. Having once visited there, I mostly think it's a place where well-to-do people (or well-to-do hangers-on) find it socially acceptabl…
