The Dirtiest Corvette Ever. Corvettes are dirty cars.

I don’t care how many times they go to Le. Mans with the Z0. Corvette will always remind me of Dirk Diggler, the 1. Even the new ones.

Most owners I know embrace their heritage rocking excellent vintage mustaches and jewelry. They learned at an early age that gold goes well with a Corvette. I learned this as a kid too. I also learned that you never button your top three buttons when in the presence of a Corvette. You can’t let it know that you’re not cool. But this Corvette is different. It’s like someone shrank it into a little Miata and then turned it into a dune buggy!

Not surprisingly for a car crammed full of people, something possibly less-than-legal may have been going on, since once the wreck happens eight passengers bolt away. Directed by Shana Feste. With Carey Mulligan, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Pierce Brosnan, Susan Sarandon. A drama that is centered around a troubled teenage girl, and a.

This is Brian Ballinger and Chris Smiths’s build for the next Gambler 5. Before we get into how great this is, lets get one thing out of the way. This is my least favorite Corvette model. It’s the one Barbie drove. It’s the Corvette most likely to enjoy the latest Michael Bolton album with its owner. Yet Brian turned it into heavy metal.

You see this pull up and you pray he’s not here to pick up your daughter. No way Barbie would drive this. This is awesome. I actually don’t know that much about Corvettes but I can only assume that the factory gas tank was somewhere near the rear bumper and all the stuff that Brian cut off.

I assume that’s why there is now a giant fuel cell dominating the back of the car. I also can’t help but see the desert racing dune buggy like stucture that’s been hiding under all that sports car. Amazing what a set of 3. Corvette. The mustache and mullet completes the look though. Brian and Chris call their creation the “Van Damme Vette” and it reminds me so much of my Baja Pig! The really cool part about their build is that its still on the factory suspension. They just cut away the bodywork instead of putting the wheels outside of it.

Trying to find the perfect scary movie to watch can be a real fright. If you’re struggling to find just the right movie to scare yourself silly this Halloween, why.

Brian’s entering it in the Detroit Gambler next Spring and you can follow the build on Brian Ballinger’s and Chris Smith’s Facebook page. Maybe I should build a V8 powered Corvette? I asked why he started with the Corvette and “Free” was the answer. Oh, and with the one condition that we race it!” This is how the best racing stories start. I naturally suggested he cage it and run in the Baja 1. Brian’s response was, “It’s on my bucket list.”.

Things You Might Not Know Were Invented by Women. Necessity isn't the only mother of invention. Though it wasn't always easy to get patents or the credit they deserved, women are responsible for many items we use today. THE PAPER BAGAmerica got a brand new paper bag when cotton mill worker Margaret Knight invented a machine to make them with a flat square bottom in 1. Paper bags originally looked more like envelopes.) A man named Charles Annan saw her design and tried to patent the idea first.

Knight filed a lawsuit and won the patent fair and square in 1. KEVLARLightweight, high- tensile Kevlar—five times stronger than steel—will take a bullet for you. Du. Pont chemist Stephanie Kwolek accidentally invented it while trying to perfect a lighter fiber for car tires and earned a patent in 1. THE FOOT- PEDAL TRASH CANLillian Gilbreth improved existing inventions with small, but ingenious, tweaks.

In the early 1. 90. Gilbreth is most famous for her pioneering work in efficiency management and ergonomics with her husband, Frank. Two of their 1. 2 children, Frank Jr. Ernestine Gilbreth, humorously wrote about their home/work collaborations in the book Cheaper by the Dozen. MONOPOLYElizabeth Magie created The Landlord's Game to spread the economic theory of Georgism—teaching players about the unfairness of land- grabbing, the disadvantages of renting, and the need for a single land value tax on owners.

Fun stuff! Magie patented the board game in 1. Nearly 3. 0 years later, a man named Charles Darrow rejiggered the board design and message and sold it to Parker Brothers as Monopoly. The company bought Magie's patent for the original game for $5. WINDSHIELD WIPERSDrivers were skeptical when Mary Anderson invented the first manual windshield wipers in 1. They thought it was safer to drive with rain and snow obscuring the road than to pull a lever to clear it. Another woman inventor, Charlotte Bridgwood, invented an automatic version with an electric roller in 1. It didn't take off, either.) But by the time Anderson's patent expired in 1.

Cadillac was the first to include them in every car model, and other companies soon followed. DISPOSABLE DIAPERSMarion Donovan didn't take all the mess out of diaper changing when she patented the waterproof "Boater" in 1.

But she changed parenting—and well, babies—forever. The waterproof diaper cover, originally made with a shower curtain, was first sold at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Donovan sold the patent to the Keko Corporation for $1 million and then created an entirely disposable model a few years later. Pampers was born in 1. THE DISHWASHERPatented in 1.

Inventor Josephine Cochrane never used it herself, but it made life easier for her servants. LIQUID PAPERIn the days before the delete key, secretary Bette Nesmith Graham secretly used white tempera paint to cover up her typing errors. She spent years perfecting the formula in her kitchen before patenting Liquid Paper in 1. Gillette bought her company in 1. And that's no typo. ALPHABET BLOCKSChildren don't read books by anti- suffrage author Adeline D. T. Whitney these days—and that's probably for the better.

But the wooden blocks she patented in 1. ABCs. 1. 0. THE APGAR SCORELife is a series of tests, starting with the Apgar, named after obstetrical anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar. In 1. About 1. 0 years later, the medical community made a backronym—an acronym designed to fit an existing word—to remember the criteria scored: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration. MARINE SIGNAL FLARESCommunication between ships was once limited to colored flags, lanterns, and screaming things like "Thar she blows!" really loudly. Martha Coston didn't come up with the idea for signal flares all by herself.

She found plans in a notebook that belonged to her late husband. The determined widow spent 1. But she was only named administratrix in the 1. Mr. Coston got credited as the inventor. THE CIRCULAR SAWA weaver named Tabitha Babbitt was the first to suggest that lumber workers use a circular saw instead of the two- man pit saw that only cut when pulled forward. She made a prototype and attached it to her spinning wheel in 1.

Babbitt's Shaker community didn't approve of filing a patent, but they took full advantage of the invention. RETRACTABLE DOG LEASHNew York City dog owner Mary A. Delaney patented the first retractable leading device in 1. It attached to the collar, keeping pooches under control, while giving them some freedom to roam. Incidentally, someone named R. C. O'Connor patented the first child harness 1. Coincidence? Maybe.

SUBMARINE TELESCOPE AND LAMPIt's difficult to find any in- depth information about early inventor Sarah Mather. Her combination telescope and lamp for submarines, patented in 1. FOLDING CABINET BEDSarah E. Goode's folding cabinet bed didn't just maximize space in small homes.

In 1. 88. 5, it made her the first African- American woman with a U. Man Vs Food Season 2 Episode 7. S. patent. The fully functional desk could be used by day and then folded down for a good night's sleep. The Murphy bed came along some 1. THE SOLAR HOUSEBiophysicist Maria Telkes's place was in the house—the very first 1. In 1. 94. 7, the Hungarian scientist invented the thermoelectric power generator to provide heat for Dover House, a wedge- shaped structure she conceived with architect Eleanor Raymond.

Telkes used Glauber’s salt, the sodium salt of sulfuric acid, to store heat in preparation for sunless days. Dover House survived nearly three Massachusetts winters before the system failed.

SCOTCHGUARDApparently, it takes a stain to fight one. In 1. 95. 2, 3. M chemist Patsy Sherman was perplexed when some fluorochemical rubber spilled on a lab assistant's shoe and wouldn't come off.

Without changing the color of the shoe, the stain repelled water, oil, and other liquids. Sherman and her co- inventor Samuel Smith called it Scotchguard. And the rest is .. INVISIBLE GLASSKatharine Blodgett, General Electric's first female scientist, discovered a way to transfer thin monomolecular coatings to glass and metals in 1. The result: glass that eliminated glare and distortion.

It clearly revolutionized cameras, microscopes, eyeglasses, and more. COMPUTERSWomen in computer science have a role model in Grace Hopper. She and Howard Aiken designed Harvard's Mark I computer, a five- ton, room- sized machine in 1. Hopper invented the compiler that translated written language into computer code and coined the terms "bug" and "debugging" when she had to remove moths from the device.
