We Held a Séance With Our Range Rover It Didn't Help.
On the second night of the Colorado Lemons Rally, we put a lit candelabra on the hood of a Range Rover & held a séance to ask the ghosts of the founders of the Rover Group why it was leaking coolant. They were unhelpful. The wax is still on the hood.
In this BMW M1 episode 453, Mental has a dusty butt, Eric makes cat/supercharger noises, Chrissy types feverishly & Chris didn’t go to public school
Really, we talk all about our experience on the 2026 Lemons Rally Colorado Breakdown with our 2008 Range Rover & 1993 Volvo 945 turbo.
Episode 453 is the full 24 Hours of Lemons Colorado Rally recap. Three days, eighteen cars, Denver to Craig to Grand Junction & back, with Eric Kritzler — DJ 914 — sitting in for Tim, who was busy getting sunburned at Buttonwillow. Our theme was The Coastal Elite: popped collars, boat shoes, a top hat, enormous diamond earrings, a sweater draped over the shoulders, a pocket full of fake hundred dollar bills, & three days of calling each other "my good man."
Two cars, both bought on a whim: an 18-year-old Range Rover on its fifth owner, & a 1993 Volvo 940 Turbo wagon that Eric won at auction from 1,200 miles away. The seller left the keys under the mat & wasn't there. Eric drove it 700 miles to Colorado with no working radio, in total silence, & called it cathartic.

WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE
At the Stanley Hotel the challenge was to recreate a scene from The Shining. Nobody planned for Chrissy to be the star. Chrissy became the star. "Here's Chrissy."
We left a note on the Range Rover's dash: the car is not broken, we'll be right back
Lunch beside a river on actual china, with a tablecloth & a candelabra, eating grocery store shrimp
A man walked up to our car in the middle of a nice town & simply got in. We took him to our Airbnb.
Handing out fake $100 bills, including to a gas station clerk who told her entire staff she'd gotten a hundred dollar tip
The awards, including a 1957 International race truck with a Volvo five-cylinder, Crown Vic suspension, no windows, & a full Austin Powers costume in the heat
ALSO IN THIS EPISODE
Lemons is racing Laguna Seca, & the 45-car field was picked by writing team names on 10mm sockets & fishing them out of a pan of used oil by hand
A Stellantis patent for an EV that ejects its own burning battery pack & drives away from it
The Batman Returns Batmobile heads to auction at $5-7 million. It's two Impala chassis welded together under hand-laid fiberglass. That's a Lemons build.
