You forgot to say that the only place you went was the car wash and you saw the same vette over and over again!

Actually I saw other's I saw were C4's but didn't think C5 guys would want to see them.

Yeah I was surprised to see the Vette coming out of the carwash. That's what made me stop. Also it is the only Vette I've ever seen with a front plate.

I thought you guys might like the exhaust. The driver claims they are Ferrari tips, whatever that was supposed to mean?

It also has a very colorful distintive license plate surround.

You took your car to a car wash and you're proud of this why?

May be Ferrari tips but they're crooked as hell.

I dunno why I'm laughing but this thread is killing me. What the hell is going on exactly?!

As was the exhaust plate, it was a larger type embossed one.

I don't think he does the wrenching on the car.
