How a Ford Powered Geo Metro Became One of the Craziest Porsche Replicas We've Seen
LeMons 935 Replica
Last weekend was the 10-year anniversary of LeMons racing, and some teams went all out to impress the judges and their competition. In this case, Charnal House updated their old MetSHO racer to a scale model of Porsche's famous 935 "Apple Car". While there isn't a single Porsche part on this car, it's hard to tell that from a distance. Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think.  Is their custom work and junkyard ingenuity cool enough to be worthy of Porsche praise? Or, is this an abomination that should head to the scrap heap post haste?

Keep in mind, some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

The Last Turn - We Wanted to See The LMP2000. We Got This Instead.
The Last Turn
The expectation of the return of Porsche to prototype racing at Le Mans in 2000 was reason enough for Leonard Turner to schedule his own return to the Sarthe, and long-term plans were made that could not easily be changed before he found that the ephemeral, unicorn-rare prototype 9R3 (also known as the LMP2000) was going to be a no-show. This is what he found instead.

Back in 2010, FLATSIXES.com sponsor, Nicolas Hunziker developed a line of driving shoes with an artistic flare. That first run sold out almost immediately, and they have been gone from the market since. Their popularity and sudden scarcity left people who didn't get in on the original availability, like myself, waiting. A few weeks ago, however, Nic teased us with an image on his Facebook page. Something big was coming. Now we know what it is and how you can get yours before they're gone again.
