It’s Wednesday. Peter Brock is a legendary American automotive designer, engineer, and racing entrepreneur best known for shaping some of the most iconic performance cars of the 20th century. He rose to prominence in the late 1950s while working at GM Styling, where at just 19 years old, helped design the original Corvette Sting Ray concept.

Brock was at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) auto show back in November where he unveiled a project he had been working on—his own personal 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. Check out the video featured today with Chris Jacobs of Mecum Auctions, as he walks around the car with Peter Brock discussing the incredible modifications made to his one-of-a-kind ’63 Corvette Sting Ray!

It’s Tuesday. Oh come on. Somewhere out there, a Corvette engineer just felt a great disturbance in the Force.

A C7 Corvette: Low-slung, fiberglass, rear-wheel-drive, built to go fast and look good doing it… and some genius looks at it and thinks, “You know what this needs? A snow plow.”

That’s not innovation—that’s vandalism with extra steps.

First of all, the car sits about three inches off the ground on a good day. You hit a frozen chunk of slush and congratulations, you’ve just turned your front splitter into modern art. The suspension wasn’t designed to push snow; it was designed to hug corners.

Best case scenario? You ruin the bumper, stress the frame, and annihilate the resale value. Worst case? You taco the front end and end up explaining to your insurance company why your sports car was cosplaying as a snow removal vehicle.

That C7 deserved warm storage, a battery tender, and dignity—not a snow plow and a starring role in “What Not to Do With Nice Things.”

It’s Monday. Yuk. We’ve been dealing with bitter, bone-chilling cold for the past several days, but apparently that still wasn’t enough for Mother Nature. On Sunday, she decided to pile on another three or four inches of the horrid white stuff. Abby was thrilled. Me? Not so much.

With temperatures dipping into the single- and double-digit negatives, we spent most of the weekend indoors. There were two different kinds of homemade soup, hot chocolate spiked with peppermint schnapps, fresh chocolate chip cookies, and a couple of movies to round it all out. When the weather turns this nasty, there’s something especially comforting about staying warm and cozy inside.

It was yet another Sunday without sports for me—but that all changes next week when NASCAR fires up its first preseason race! Hot damn tamale, baby!
