Dirtiest C5

For today I have to nominate my '04 for the dirtiest C5 award. Coming back from vacation today, I got caught in a dust/sand storm in the Texas panhandle after facing freezing weather and some snow/sleet in northern New Mexico.

Yeh, it could use a little cleaning.

But, good to see you driving and enjoying it.

Believe me, after that sand/dust storm, I am going to be changing all filters and the oil. Was in that thing a good four hours. Am really concerned about the paint

Whoa! You were definitely blasted by the elements. But, post us some pics when she is all shined up and gleaming. BYW, that is one sharp looking C5 vert you have there.
