Stingray Goodness

It’s Friday! Can I get another good weekend? I think the weather is actually supposed to cooperate, which would be perfect timing for the giant Berwyn Route 66 Car Show happening Saturday afternoon! And what better way to segue into today’s featured photos, eh?

One of my readers spotted this flaming-hot Corvette Stingray out in the wild in Ohio. It’s a ’76 sporting a custom flame job over some seriously killer orange paint. With that combination, this Corvette definitely isn’t having any trouble getting noticed.

And—NASCAR returns to Daytona this Saturday night for the final regular season race! Definitely looking forward to that one under the lights!

So, since it’s Friday, that can only mean one thing: the babes are doubled, the jokes are plentiful, and my questionable sense of humor is running completely unsupervised. So kick back, enjoy the automotive eye candy, and have a great weekend!

Keep,

This Stingray is regularly parked at a small business. I drive by it often and tell myself “I need to get a pic for the Keep,” and finally got one.  The owner is rightly proud of his classic – you can tell by the bracket attached to the luggage rack!

360 Degree Corkscrew

It’s Thursday. Inspired by a 2010 Mercedes-Benz marketing stunt that relied on CGI, Chinese automaker Voyah decided to skip the computer-generated magic and actually do the stunt for real. Its Passion S electric crossover blasted into a tunnel, launched off one ramp, went airborne, and landed on another while completing a full 360-degree corkscrew. Uncut footage proves the stunt was the real deal, although they didn’t exactly stick the landing on their first try. Turns out even when you’re driving an electric crossover through the air, physics is still physics.

Pennywise

It’s Wednesday. I was on my way to a doctor’s appointment yesterday when I passed a house that was already fully decorated for Halloween. Now, unless someone secretly moved Halloween to August 25th while I wasn’t paying attention, I’m pretty sure it’s still celebrated on October 31st. Hell, it’s not even Labor Day yet!

But apparently, waiting until September—or, God forbid, October—is now completely unacceptable. This house wasn’t just sporting a few pumpkins on the porch, either. Nope. The entire yard had been transformed into a full-blown Halloween spectacular, complete with every creepy character imaginable.

And right in the middle of it all was a 25-foot inflatable Pennywise. Because apparently, a normal-sized clown lurking in your yard wasn’t terrifying enough. And get this: that giant inflatable nightmare will set you back a staggering $599!

Five hundred and ninety-nine dollars for an inflatable clown that will spend two months terrorizing the neighborhood before getting stuffed into a box until next year.

At this rate, Halloween decorations will be going up before the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving will be canceled, and Christmas will be here next week. Give it another month and we’ll be putting up Valentine’s Day decorations.
