It’s Wednesday. One of my Canadian readers, Andy, recently caught this topless beauty out in the wild. He was going into East Houston Pizza in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, when he saw it in the parking lot. It is indeed a 1974 Corvette, most easily identified by the rear bumper cover which was split (two pieces) for only the 1974 model. In 1975 they switched to a single bumper cover which continued through the years until the final C3 was produced in 1982. The ’74 is sought after because it was the last Corvette built before catalytic converters were required. It was also the last year Chevrolet offered the 454 big-block engine and a true dual exhaust system. Thanks, Andy! Definitely a cool find!

If you see automotive goodness while you’re out-and-about this summer, snap a few photos and send ’em in!

It’s Tuesday. I realize that it’s only Tuesday, but why not have some amateur goodness on a Tuesday?

Is it wrong?

I think not.

Enjoy!

Keep, I know it’s not as naked as some of others you’ve shown, but maybe that’s okay… maybe? 🙂 😉 -Anonymous

It’s Monday. Quiet. There’s almost nobody outside. All that can be heard in my neighborhood is the electric hum of air conditioners. Much of the country is experiencing extreme heat and humidity as summer has now officially begun. I checked out our 10-day forecast and it doesn’t look like we get much of a break in the foreseeable future. But hey, at least it’s not snowing!

Can you believe that “Jaws” is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month? The film premiered on June 20th, 1975 and went on to traumatize audiences around the world. It had been decades since we last saw it, so the girlfriend and I watched it over the weekend. Despite its age, I was surprised to find that it held up very nicely. Several events and screenings are planned to mark the 50th anniversary, including a special re-release in theaters. A documentary, “Jaws @ 50,” will also premiere on National Geographic on July 10th, then Disney+ and Hulu on July 11th.
