This little beauty just went over 150,000 miles, and got me to work in the snow today.

I never seen a prettier vette!

Looks to me like you missed a spot just behind the drivers side roof line. Don't forget the "after" shot.

I do not like salt on my daily driver let alone the Corvette. Just give it a good bath and don't forget about the undercarriage.

If we had a third car, I'd probably only drive it 5 days a year anyway. If it's bad enough, I just telecommute.

Nah.

Its a car. He owns it, he paid for it, it works for him. Taking its owner to work is one thing cars have to do. It will be OK.

Plus, think about how nice it will be to wash it.

I was thinking about ways to get it even dirtier actually.
I don't think you can mud a corvette though, unless you own the monster garage.
