It’s Monday. I had a feeling this was coming. It’s nearly impossible to live with someone who has a cold and not catch it yourself. My girlfriend came down with one last week and, in an effort to spare me, moved into the second bedroom to sleep. Nice idea in theory—but of course I still managed to get it. There’s just no escaping these things.

Just as she was starting to recover, I began feeling a little off during the day on Thursday. By Thursday evening there was no doubt about it—I had caught the same damn bug. The first couple of days were pretty mild, but by Saturday it shifted into the full-blown coughing, wheezing, and runny-nose stage. That’s when I cracked open a fresh bottle of liquid relief: NyQuil Severe Cold & Flu. No matter how lousy you may feel, NyQuil usually knocks things down enough to let you get some much needed rest. No coughing, no snot, just blissful sleep.

As I’m typing this on Sunday, I’m actually feeling a bit better. The coughing and snot are still hanging around, but it’s not as bad as it was the day before. I’m hoping the worst of it is already behind me.

It’s Friday! The sand—the sun—the beach! One of my readers recently spotted this Lamborghini-style jet boat out in the wild while spending some time down in Florida. You can actually take it out for a spin on the water, but it’ll cost you a cool $500 for just 30 minutes behind the wheel. It’s definitely a slick ride—but at that price, I think I’ll stick to admiring it from the dock! Take a look at the gallery below for a few more photos of this wet-and-wild Lambo.

Here in Illinois it’s not exactly beach weather, but we should see temps in the low 70s today and again early next week. For early March, I’m definitely not complaining!

Along with the Lambo boat, I’ve also got double babes and double jokes lined up to help wrap up the week on a high note. Enjoy!

Keep – not exactly ‘automotive goodness’, but on a recent trip to Florida we came across this little fellow on the beach. They said it was a Lamborghini Jet Car. I’ve heard of these before but I’d never seen one. Not sure it’s really a Lamborghini, but i guess they got the approval to use the name. Not a cheap ride either – about $500 to rent it for 30 mins!

Thanks for keeping the site going — been following since the midi days!

It’s Thursday. Hot damn tamale, baby! The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is the fiercest Corvette yet—an electrified hybrid supercar that pushes the American sports car into true hypercar territory. It pairs a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 with an upgraded electric front motor for an eye-watering 1,250 total horsepower and all-wheel drive, delivering blistering acceleration (well under 2 seconds to 60 mph and quarter-mile times in the 8–9 second range) that rivals far more expensive exotics. Beyond raw speed, the ZR1X blends advanced aero, carbon-ceramic brakes, and refined chassis tech with a refreshed digital cockpit, making it both a record-shattering performer and a surprisingly usable daily driver.

For a deep-dive, nitty-gritty review of the Corvette ZR1X, be sure to check out Doug DeMuro’s video featured today.

My favorite part comes just after the 25 minute mark when Doug reacts to punching the accelerator.
