It’s Tuesday. The summer toys continue! I’ve featured bitchin’ Camaros, killer Mustangs, custom Harley-Davidsons, and now a… 1992 SAAB 900s convertible? Proof that summer toys can come in all kinds of flavors!

Keep, It’s me again, the guy who brought you that beautiful Callaway Corvette in Gettysburg PA. Now it’s my turn to show you my Summer time toy and there’s a sob story behind her. Back in 2013,14 my sister almost died due to a rare heart condition. In around the same time, her husband almost died due to a strange liver infection. During the entire time, I was there for both of them. When the smoke cleared and both were out of the hospital, my wife, sister, and I went to visit them in Cherry Hill NJ. This was a gift from them for being there during that terrible time in there lives. The car is a1992 SAAB 900s convertible. It took me 3 years to bring “Linda” back to life. The car is a unicorn, trophy winner, and a head turner as there aren’t too many of these left on the road. -David

It’s Monday. History was made yesterday when Richard Branson and crew rode to suborbital space on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo Unity and glided back to Earth successfully. It’s the latest step in the race to be the first in the growing space tourism business. Next up, on July 20th Amazon’s founder and billionaire magnate Jeff Bezos will join his brother, Wally Funk, and one auction winner to become the first crew aboard the reusable New Shepard rocket for an 11-minute voyage to space. At this time the petition to prevent Jeff Bezos from returning to Earth has gathered over 155,000 signatures and rising. 

We had a wet weekend that I mostly spent working. I did catch the SRX race on Saturday and the Nascar race on Sunday. I really enjoyed the SRX series, just wish I hadn’t missed the first 4 races! 

Monday… again.

It’s Sunday! The weather was crappy yesterday so there was no point in heading out to the monthly car show in Morris, Illinois. Instead I decided to catch the SRX race on CBS. SRX is a new racing series created by Tony Stewart and Ray Everham that races exclusively on dirt short-tracks and features drivers new and old.

The event consists of two short heat races followed by the feature race. One thing I noticed was that nearly every driver they talked to mentioned how much fun they were having. And it shows. The races are short, energectic, and action packed. It’s a refreshing change from NASCAR and I really enjoyed it. I’m already looking forward to next week’s race in Nashville.
