We turned a rusty neon into an entertaining race car for the lowly sum of $500. Now the challenge is to repeat our accomplishment in other races in the 24 Hours of LeMons without killing ourselves, the car or each other.

Special Lemony Activity
This weekend we have a special Lemons experience-- two of us (Doctawife and Chris) are joining Rich and Mona's Colorado-based team, Rocket Surgery Racing. Sure, I will have separation anxiety to be at a track without the rusty wonder Neon, but how could we refuse an invitation to drive this steed? It's a 1956 or 57 Renault 4CV. It is tiny. It now is mid-engined with rear wheel drive since Rich wedged a VW Fox drivetrain where the back seat once lived.
I hope we will have a cellular signal at the track so I can post this weekend, because this should be quite the experience!
