borrowed the boss's thermal imaging camera for the weekend Chump racing at Road Atlanta in the dual-engined Escort known as 'Little Lamb-orghini'. Check 'em out.
Coming down the front straight.
And took some picks of youngfg's Kentucky Spirits Z as well.
Someone took off with the one at work a while back and came back with some very interesting pictures of a girl with a tight shirt. I don't recommend that.
For some reason I had hot neighbor in mind...
Well you did the right thing to look at the tires. Interesting that the valleys of the treads are the hottest part, I wouldn't have expected that.
Looks like you either have some cars set up for autocross driving on the street or you really need some camber adjustments!
What's the last pic? I was going to say look at a running engine, but if that's what it is I can't make heads or tails of it.
Place your hand flat on a wall for ten seconds. Remove hand. Look at wall.
how is there not one fart pic.

That's the first thing I noticed too.

Oh +1 for this, you'll be a Youtube legend 
Take pictures of your house to see where you're losing heat.

It only works on "hot" boobies.
Yeah, I could totally use it on my house.

Please post pics.
All these pics were taken in the pits at Rd Atlanta during the last half of the Chumpcar enduro there this weekend. The last pic is sideways, it's the hot engine bay of a 300ZX.
Wife's butt while asleep, settle the old joke once and for all

You got it! I've been dying to get my hands on one for that very reason.
I was going to say Porn, but it's been covered essentially.

Geometry and cooling, gentlemen. The imager only sees the surface of the object. The outer surface cools relatively quickly through convection and some radiation, but the grooves are a little more protected from ambient air movement. The grooves are showing more accurately the inner rubber temperature.
I do a lot of live electrical switchgear inspection with my (well, my company's) FLIR P640, looking for things like this:
Here's a few "practice" shots more on topic:
Yeah, thermal imagers can be a lot of fun - boobie shots or not.
But you can always tell if they are real or altered with one of those. Think long boring convention and a thermo cam. Made for some interesting side bets. :)
If you're going to inspect your house insulation, make sure you study up a bit first. You can fool yourself badly with an imager if you don't have a grasp of emissivity and reflection. Less informed users or unscrupulous contractors could convince you to spend money to repair a leak that is actually heat source down the street.
Oh, yeah, thermal imagers make great stud finders. Here's one end of a vaulted ceiling. You're seeing the studs through the sheetrock.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't even thought of that.
Here's an old stitched-together video of my engine:
I really need to reshoot that one in higher resolution.
Some of those shots would make spectacular framed art.
