It’s Friday! We just had a taste of summer yesterday when temperatures soared into the 80s! It was so very nice for this time of the year here in Illinois. The sounds of people, cars, and motorcycles filled the air. Another unusual sound for this time of year could also be heard, the familiar whine of air conditioners from people seeking relief from the heat. Not me. I soaked up every bit of sunshine I could. Hopefully, we’ll see more of this in the remaining days of April and into May.

Nascar is at my favorite track this weekend, the Talladega Superspeedway! Fast and dangerous—you know where I’ll be Sunday afternoon!

In keeping with the warmer weather, I thought some automotive goodness would be appropriate. It’s still a bit early for car shows here, so I dug up some favorites from Cruise Nights in Morris, Illinois. Enjoy the classic cars as well as the double babes & jokes!

It’s Thursday. It may be dirty but it’s back home again. I had to wake the Vette from its long winter slumber to clear the way for a friend who needed to remove his pontoon boat. Thanks to a battery tender, it fired right up. It did need some air in the right-rear tire, but other than that, it was ready to roll.

I plan to get it detailed in the next week or so. It could also use new rubber, so I’ve been looking for a set of rims & tires from a C6 Grand Sport or Z06. Over the winter I’ve been looking at photos of other C5s with those wheels and I really like the look. Now I just gotta find a good deal!

On a sad note, Bear’s great Steve “Mongo” McMichael passed away yesterday from ALS. He was 67 years old.

It’s Wednesday. I featured some of Justin’s work with Christmas lights during the holidays a few months ago. Apparently he’s now set his sights on decorating cars!
