NEW RULE, Make them LeMons Race Cash for Clunkers cars…
Did you know….The CASH FOR CLUNKERS program requires every car turned in to have its motor blown up and not recycled? This is just sick, wrong, and wasteful. The video attached is a local dealership blowing up a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora with 240,000 miles. Now I am not saying this car would have soldiered on for much more longer but I can’t help but thinking this is a waste.
NEW RULE, Make them LeMons Race the cars. Every car deserves to go out fighting.
Bought a new domain today! Hoonage.com
Today I was driving down M-24 here in Michigan and pulled up alongside a S-10 pickup so throughly rusted it was more rust than sheet metal. In front of the S-10 rode a yellow C5 Corvette you couldn’t miss if it were on fire. The thing is I couldn’t take my eyes off the S10. The bumper held about 2lbs of topsoil from doing something crazier than the Vette would ever do, duct tape help in the rear window, and the owner sat at the helm proudly beaming. That’s when I knew I was in love with hooned out cars. Whether its a $400 car or a automotive oddety I can’t help myself. Walking through a junk yard begins in head estimates of how much work rescuing the forgotten beast from its resting place would cost and how cool that would be. Its a sickness I know… When I pulled “plan B” Cutlass home from its animal infested hole I realized I am not along in this sickness as neighbors, friends, and relatives circled the hulk that had sat for 20 years. So in addition to HardDriveRacing.com I have decided to start a new car blog called Hoonage.com. I will be working on a new design based off of this blog and we will will fill it with coolest automotive oddities and hoonage ever seen!

“Aggressively flogging a car, but in a manner that stops just short of reckless.
Taking that turn sideways at 60 miles per hour? That’s some serious hoonage.”

The Demons of Automotive Wiring…Part 1
So the electrical expert is knee deep in doo doo, into the wee hours of the night. The remote start is removed, as are the kill switches, and auxillary wiring into no-where…Note the intensity in his eyes. We’re not in a good place right now. We’ve gone from a working car with a so called known problem to a mystery and hole load of wires going to who knows where. The weekend is blown for me as I will be up north for a family reunion. Tune in next week to see if Bernie can rewire the whole car.
It would be sad to see us have to pull out a backup car so early because of wiring issues. I am planning on calling in the reinforcements on Monday if we can’t get her back up and running….
Yeah still not starting, time to get some DEI Alarm and kill switch manuals.
Will ever run again? Fuel pump installation by LeMons pros…
Hole I cut (taking out my newfound baby momma drama aggression) with tin snips.
Putting the fuel pump together while our parts guy wandered around Lapeer 
Oh hey look who showed up. Fuel pump ready to go in.
Note the fire extinguisher. The guy who shows up late gets to grind on stuff near a gas tank.
Something tells me he might be late again (on purpose). Goofy on gas fumes. Note the safety goggles (Jenine’s sunglasses lol) true LeMon’s style
Deconstructing the LeMons Camaro interior
Scott and Brian made pretty quick work of the passenger side seat, door panel, and center console.
UAW fun, look it’s a pontiac switch found in Chevy buried under the carpet for 24 years. I can imagine someone complaining “Hey this carpet feels bumpy here”.
Well the fuel pump doesn’t look to be the problem, all those wires… Wondering how we might enclose that nifty hose work Bernie came up with for the fuel pump.
