It’s Monday. Well, for once Mother Nature decided to cooperate. She was kind enough to hold off the rain on Saturday afternoon until well after the Route 66 Car Show in Berwyn, Illinois, had wrapped up. Considering how often she likes to screw with my plans, I’ll take the win.

This show is always an annual favorite of mine, but this year was extra special because it also celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road—Route 66. And they certainly went all out. There was an enormous variety of automotive goodness on display, along with live bands, activities, plenty of food and drinks, and enough horsepower and chrome to keep any car nut happy.

It was a blast, and as always, I came home with a crap-ton of photos. I’ll be sorting through all of them and putting together a gallery later this week, so there’s plenty more Route 66 goodness to come!

It’s Friday! Can I get another good weekend? I think the weather is actually supposed to cooperate, which would be perfect timing for the giant Berwyn Route 66 Car Show happening Saturday afternoon! And what better way to segue into today’s featured photos, eh?

One of my readers spotted this flaming-hot Corvette Stingray out in the wild in Ohio. It’s a ’76 sporting a custom flame job over some seriously killer orange paint. With that combination, this Corvette definitely isn’t having any trouble getting noticed.

And—NASCAR returns to Daytona this Saturday night for the final regular season race! Definitely looking forward to that one under the lights!

So, since it’s Friday, that can only mean one thing: the babes are doubled, the jokes are plentiful, and my questionable sense of humor is running completely unsupervised. So kick back, enjoy the automotive eye candy, and have a great weekend!

It’s Thursday. Inspired by a 2010 Mercedes-Benz marketing stunt that relied on CGI, Chinese automaker Voyah decided to skip the computer-generated magic and actually do the stunt for real. Its Passion S electric crossover blasted into a tunnel, launched off one ramp, went airborne, and landed on another while completing a full 360-degree corkscrew. Uncut footage proves the stunt was the real deal, although they didn’t exactly stick the landing on their first try. Turns out even when you’re driving an electric crossover through the air, physics is still physics.
