Team gets penalized at 24 Hours of Lemons, has to make a Harlem Shake video

This is probably the best use of the Harlem Shake meme yet— a team at the 24 Hours of Lemons race spun out for the third time and were penalized by being forced to make this Harlem Shake video. This should be a punishment in every sport.

Fun shit to do on a weekend: The Rental Car Rally

Part of the fun of having a rental car is abusing the hell out of it. So combine the fun of a rental with crazy costumes and the the fun of driving and you have the Rental Car Rally.

RCR isn’t technically a race. The team with the lowest odometer score and best costumes wins. Each team must hit several checkpoints along the route, including sites like abandoned airfields, giant decommissioned howitzers, airplane graveyards, and other absurdly awesome locations.
