Default Spring Cleaning (Pics!!!)

Well we had our first truly nice day up here. Hit 82 sunday, spent the day cleaning both my toys. Not bad for someone who just turned 19! haha
98 Silverado Z71 Loaded out with 185k (DD)
84 Corvette Z51 Pretty basic/loaded for 84 123k
Paid $2,500 a piece for them (much more invested now) haha
We all love seeing pictures so here a couple I snapped after a wash and wax of both.



Thanks Guys!

The Vettes are about ready. Now we just need the weather to cooperate!

The wheels on the Vette are directional. The side of the car is embossed on the inside of the wheel. If I remember correctly the one on the rear is on the wrong side.
The truck & Vette look great.

Would you look at that, you are correct! haha
I've always been one to correct others on it. I got 2 tires put on the back a couple weeks ago and this was the first it was out. They must have put them on incorrectly. Thanks for catching that! lol

I've been caught myself. I would much rather correct the situation at home before the show. I saw a couple very diligently cleaning their Vette to be judged with the wheels on the wrong sides(too late!). Enjoy your rides!

also the wheels look to be later model wheels with a different offset.....wheels are somewhat "inboard" which is fine too....no big deal........enjoy the toys!
