\"build_an_engine_2-2\"
\nThe LeMons Supreme Court had so much fun with the Build An Engine Penalty<\/a> in South Carolina and Texas that we used it again in California last weekend! 
 
\n\"build_an_engine_2-6\"
\nHere’s what appears to be a Ford V8, complete with beer-can “headers.” 
 
\n\"build_an_engine_2-9\"
\nWe requested a Volkswagen air-cooled from this team, and this time the beer cans were the cylinders. 
 
\n\"build_an_engine_2-1\"
\nThis team went for added realism with their V6, with a very safe starter-fluid-and-lighter setup on the exhaust manifolds. 
 
\n\"build_an_engine_2-4\"
\nPete of the Killer Bees MGB team won the Most Realistic prize, with the SU carburetors lovingly rendered with water bottles and plastic cups. 
 
\n\"build_an_engine_2-7\"
\nI tried to talk the LeMons HQ folks into bringing these engines back to Emeryville, but the truck was full. Maybe some Infineon employees took them home.
