I've also got a 2013 Cruze that I bought back in October for my wife and I. Mostly she dailies it, but if she has a day off, you better bet I take it and save my own gas! And if you can't tell, I do professional detailing outside of work.

I've worked on countless Corvettes, but at 20 years old, I have yet to own one. I'm in the market for a C5 soon, but I love my Jeep to death for the time being!

I want to see what else you guys like to toy with! Aside from Corvettes, I'm an avid Jeeper, but I love older muscle cars and even certain import tuners. I'm just a petrolhead, if it's got an engine, it's got my attention! I love seeing what others are passionate about! Post 'em up!

That jeep is nice, it will rust before it stops running.
