I got caught in the rain two days in a row with my car (sunday and monday). I took it out last night thinking the front end was going to be trashed from water spots and dirt, boy was I wrong :o

Hello,
I like the contrast combination of your car against the woods background. How did your hood turn out. The last paint thread I remember you were having some problem with it.

Tough to see the dirt and water.
You should put a white stripe on her to see dirt better.

Looks great

Sheesh! You tease us with promises of dirty vette pictures and don't deliver. You're not trying hard enough. Come drive some of our unpaved roads after a good rain. On second thought...
