If you’ve not heard of the Concours d’Lemons, it’s a tongue-in-cheek car show that takes place during Monterey Car Week.<\/p>\n

They see me rollin’!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This unique event celebrates the “oddities, the mundane, and the truly awful” of the automotive world.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional Concours events, which primarily highlight pristine and historically significant vehicles, the Concours d’Lemons takes a left turn and instead focuses on the quirkiest, most eccentric, and sometimes downright ugly cars that have somehow survived the test of time.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun event where you’ll never guess what comes next and it’ll keep you on your toes the entire time.<\/p>\n

At the Concours d’LeMons, a motorized dream,<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Where rusty old wrecks are the stars of the show,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A jalopy parade where the lemons all gleam,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In a world of fine autos, these stand proudly low.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With bumpers askew and paint jobs a mess,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The engines that sputter, but somehow still run,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A symphony played in chaotic distress,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet these quirky machines bring barrels of fun.<\/em><\/p>\n

The judges don\u2019t fawn over polish and sheen,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The uglier, the better, it\u2019s the odd that\u2019s seen.<\/em><\/p>\n

So here’s to the clunkers, the cars of our dreams,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Not perfect, but loved in their own special way,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

At the Concours d’Lemons, where nothing’s as it seems,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We celebrate failure, but with smiles all day.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
