It’s Wednesday. I have some more summer toys to share with all of you. I know what you’re thinking and no, they’re not mine! These two Vette’s belong to Joe, a reader who has been around Corvettes since he was eight years old. He’s got a 1979 L-82 in Bright Yellow and a C5 in Electron Blue. I had two Vettes for a few years so I can say with experience, the hardest part of owning two Vettes is deciding which to drive! A big thanks to Joe for allowing me to share his toys with all of you.

Keep, Hey man I love your site I check it almost every day. So I wanted to share my babies with you cuz I know your a Vette guy. I’ve been around corvettes since my dad bought a new 73 when I was 8 years old. I’ve had Camaro’s and Trans Am’s but never a vette till 2009 then I bought the 79 L-82 4 speed. Then this year I got the Blue lady C5. I was going to sell the C3 but the wife said no and made me keep it (sucks right) so here I am. I love your site. Keep it up. Pun intended. -Joe

It’s Tuesday. I would’ve liked to feature all this amateur goodness back around the Memorial Day weekend when they arrived, but somehow I didn’t manage to fit them in. No worries, though, because they’re all right here and ready to go. Enjoy!

It’s Monday. We had a damn toasty weekend with temperatures in the 90s and dab of humidity. The 90s are expected to continue through the week but the humidity starts increasing today. It’s definitely starting to feel like summer.

I spent Saturday afternoon hanging out with a buddy at a nearby bar on the Des Plains river. They recently renovated their deck that overlooks the river and marina. We had a table up front and in the shade where we enjoyed some drinks and all the boat traffic coming and going. It’s a great place to people-watch and check out a large variety of watercraft. 

Sunday was nice as well so the girlfriend and I decided it was time to take the Vette out for it’s first spin of the summer. We had the top down, the wind in our hair, and the sun on our faces. Got home several hours later and I caught the Nascar race in Sonoma. Very good race that was dominated and won by Kyle Larson. Next up is the All-Star race in Texas!
