i like that a driver can be tarred and feathered

Penalties

LeMons officials have an inventive penalty and punishment system[6] where infractions are meted out by a device called The Wheel of Misfortune.[4] Various devices are put onto the car, sometimes affecting car performance or annoying drivers. One device is called the Grille of Damocles, a metal plate with spikes that is welded in place right in front of a car's radiator. If the driver does any front-end contact, the plate is pushed into the radiator and dumps the contents, disabling the car.

Other devices either affect the car's aerodynamics or some other way mechanically. Also, "aggressive/lousy driving" is covered under Section 6 of the rules, and is penalized likewise.[3] For example, there is a possibility that the driver could get a tarring and feathering.[7]
