It’s Friday! Here in Illinois the extreme heat and humidity has been relentless for two weeks now. When you step outside the humidity hits you like a brick wall. It literally stops you in your tracks. It sucks, but I still have to say that I’ll take this over the snow & ice any day!

I took a spin out to the Plainfield, Illinois, cruise night last Tuesday night. There were some hefty storms approaching but I had just enough time to get through the entire show before the rain started to fall. It was Jeep night, so naturally most of my photos are of the numerous Jeeps in attendance. Even with the storms looming on the horizon and the killer heat and humidity, there was a surprising amount of people who showed up for the show. That was pretty cool to see.

Anyway, enjoy the gallery below and the double babes & double jokes!

It’s Thursday. MythBusters was a science based TV show that ran on the Discovery Channel from 2003 to 2016. It was hosted primarily by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, along with later co-hosts Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara. The show used scientific methods to test the validity of popular myths, urban legends, movie scenes, and internet rumors. Known for its dramatic visuals, creative builds, and playful atmosphere, the show made science fun and entertaining.

The two surviving co-hosts Kari Byron and Tory Belleci recently started MythFits, their own podcast. In Episode 1, featured today, they discuss the real reason they left Mythbusters, what’s been going on in their personal lives since Mythbusters, their other shows, and answer questions from the Internet. If you’re a fan, I think you’ll find this pretty cool!

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!
