It’s Friday, and what better way to end the week than goofing off while you’re being paid to work.  That’s right, it’s time for more pictures!

The Chickenmobile at World of Wheels 2010

Willy’s Garage brought out the much-ballyhooed “Chickenmobile,” a resurrected promotional vehicle for the Chicken Delight restaurant chain.

Chevy Impala SS with Corvette LS3 engine at Winnipeg World of Wheels 2010This Impala SS didn’t look like much on the outside-nice rims and a few hints of chrome-but this bad ass mo’fo carried an LS3 v-8 engine under the hood, a 430-horse powerplant normally reserved for Corvettes.

Car crushin' time at Winnipeg World of Wheels 2010

Chevy Corvair Rampside Pickup at Winnipeg World of Wheels 2010

There’s not many Chevy Corvair pickups with a rampside box left in the world, but Piston Ring auto parts stores owns one.  The number of classics and hot rods this company owns is actually kind of shocking, but it really goes to show the passion they have for this hobby.  And if you work for Piston Ring, let me know if this is enough ass kissing to get your sponsorship.

The Gimli Car Club was just hangin’ out at their booth, after selling every last ticket for their annual raffle.  This year’s prizes included a barbeque disguised as a small-block Chevy engine.

That’s it for today, but come on back soon to see what else we’ve got up our sleeve.  There’s more pics of World of Wheels, and maybe even a few teaser pages from “Class of 2010.”  And if that’s not enough, come check out the Facebook page for more photographs, or even to upload your own.  Best of all, it’s free!
