We brought on Alex (for_the_animals) to talk about his experience racing in the 24 Hours of Lemons, but we had too much fun talking about our project cars and ran out of time.

Please buy our old cars, we're running out of parking spaces.

We all went on vacation together in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park, and a comradely good time was had by all. On the last night we were all together, we drunkenly tried to recap all the various wildlife we saw, how our cars performed in the mountains, and some recommendations on what to see if you're ever in Colorado.

We've picked some of the finest automotive news stories for you, and isn't it funny that they all prove the ruthlessness, short-sightedness, and unsustainability of capitalism?

Also: each of us are selling a car. Email [email protected] if you want to buy a Camaro, a Saabaru, a Blazer, or a Ranger.

(INB4: "And yet you participate in capitalism. Curious! I am very intelligent.")
