The People's Curse is a hallowed 24 Hours of LeMons tradition, in which the teams vote to destroy the car they hate the most. Sometimes the Curse goes to a car suspected of blowing past the $500 spending limit (e.g., this BMW 740 ), sometimes it goes to a car driven too aggressively (e.g., this BMW E30 ), and sometimes it goes to a car for perceived cheating and aggro driving (e.g., this Mazda 626 ). We've even seen a car get the Curse for being too slow! But we've never, ever seen a car that gets hit with The People's Curse and wins the People's Choice trophy.

Yes, you really are looking at dual rear axles on a $500 truck… and there's more lunacy we aren't even seeing yet! Make the jump to see all the photos and read the team statement. galleryPost('24HOLT08FirstBlood', 3, 'Team First Blood Prepares Their Sonoma For Toledo'); I'm on Team "First Blood" #4. Last year we took Peoples Choice with our Back to the Future DeLorean and to make sure nobody outdoes us this year, we are totally outdoing ourselves! We've...
