Subject: LeMons Wins Suit Over Clunkers
Sent: Aug 20, 2009 6:46 PM
Landmark Decision in 24 Hours of LeMons v. United States San Francisco CA--The
$500-car race 24 Hours of LeMons' restraint-of-trade suit against the federal
government, which had demanded an immediate end to Washington's Cash for
Clunkers program, has been successful. After conferring with counsel this
morning, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Cash for
Clunkers would end next Monday at 8pm EST. In court papers filed last
Wednesday, LeMons creator Jay Lamm asserted that by buying and crushing a
half-million unsafe, fuel-swilling, smog-belching crapheaps, the government had
created "...a federal subsidy not to participate in the 24 Hours of LeMons."
America's horrible-shitbox-racing industry could therefore be decimated, the
lawsuit contended, causing job losses deep into single digits. "Every '92
Sunbird destroyed by this government death panel," an emotional Lamm told a
rally outside the Federal Ninth Circuit Court building, "is a '92 Sunbird that
can't be destroyed by bad racedriving." Supporters held signs emblazoned with
the president's image above the word "HOOPtie," and a Renault Fuego Turbo set
itself on fire in a last grisly act of solidarity. Amicus briefs to the suit
had been filed by veteran Alfa Romeo dealer Martin Swig, the Yugo Owners
Anti-Defamation League of America, and Carlo Petroli, founder of Europe's
so-called Slow Car Movement. Slow Car adherents reject modern industrial
carmaking in favor of earlier methods, such as Britain's reliance on malevolent
trolls. # # # 24
