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. That's just what happened with the Team First Blood GMC Sonoma in Toledo yesterday... galleryPost('LT08Curse', 3, 'First Blood Sonoma Most Loved And Most Hated Entry At Toledo'); I asked LeMons official and Ecurie Ecrappe member TheEastBayKid to explain why First Blood got the Curse, and he couldn't say.

We really want to love art cars, but the problem with a lot of them is that the artists involved just don't get cars . For every genuinely awesome Camera Van or Pedal Regal , you get a hundred beater 323s with plastic army men or dinosaurs epoxied all over the sheet metal. But take heart, fans of car-as-art, because the participants at the 24 Hours of LeMons race continue to raise the bar with the themes for their cars; check out the gallery below for a sampling of some of the art cars we saw at the race at Altamont last weekend. Thanks to photographers Zack Spencer and Amy Judd for contributing photographs. galleryPost('AltamontArtCars', 9, 'Art Cars of the 24 Hours of LeMons');
