It’s Friday! Illinois is now fully open as of today. Restaurants, bars, everything. It feels weird saying that after a year and a half, but we’ve finally made it. 

Today I have a bunch of automotive goodness to share with all of you. The vehicular beauties featured below come from a car show that I attended in Plainfield, Illinois, earlier in the week. It’s a weekly show held throughout the summer that attracts a huge variety of cars and plenty of spectators. Last year it was gone, this year it’s all back and I love it!

So enjoy my photos from the show and since it’s Friday, the babes & jokes are doubled!

It’s Thursday. It’s heating up out there so I asked all of you to send in photos of your summer toys. Cars, bikes, boats or whatever you like to play with over the summer. So far we’ve seen some really nice bikes and a few cars. Today I have another bike, but it’s not your average motorcycle. It’s a 1950 Vincent Shadow that underwent a near 10 year restoration by its owner, Marty. He says that it’s a real head turner and judging from the photo, I’d say he’s right. Thanks for sending it in, Marty.

Keep, 1950 Vincent Black Shadow. Took me almost 10 years to restore, and it’s a real head turner. -Marty

It’s Wednesday. I have some more summer toys to share with all of you. I know what you’re thinking and no, they’re not mine! These two Vette’s belong to Joe, a reader who has been around Corvettes since he was eight years old. He’s got a 1979 L-82 in Bright Yellow and a C5 in Electron Blue. I had two Vettes for a few years so I can say with experience, the hardest part of owning two Vettes is deciding which to drive! A big thanks to Joe for allowing me to share his toys with all of you.

Keep, Hey man I love your site I check it almost every day. So I wanted to share my babies with you cuz I know your a Vette guy. I’ve been around corvettes since my dad bought a new 73 when I was 8 years old. I’ve had Camaro’s and Trans Am’s but never a vette till 2009 then I bought the 79 L-82 4 speed. Then this year I got the Blue lady C5. I was going to sell the C3 but the wife said no and made me keep it (sucks right) so here I am. I love your site. Keep it up. Pun intended. -Joe
