It is a sexy beast for the 37 seconds it's clean after you spend 3 hours washing it. You can't really tell how dirty it is at night either.

Those are the ever popular NAPA rotors. They were not coated so everytime they get wet, a fresh layer of rust appears. They looked good before I washed the car. The EBC pads are annihilating the rotors so I will be putting a fresh set on soon anyway.

I have an absolute ball driving the this car. I dish it out and it takes every bit of it. I drive it to work every day and cruise around every night in it. I wouldn't get rid of this car for anything!

I bought it with the curb rash. I wasn't going to let a bit of curb rash stop me from getting the killer deal I got on this car. CCWs in the future I suppose. I need a mini tub kit for the rear before I go CCW though.

I feel your pain. I just took mine (black also) for its first road trip to Toronto over the weekend. When I got out at the first rest stop I almost had a heart attack - it was twice as bad as yours (made a wrong exit at one point onto some road where some construction vehicles had been 
). I was actually psyched when I hit a thunderstorm later on in the trip - first time I've ever welcomed rain while driving the Vette. But it did no good. I hooked up with a couple of Canadian Forum members in T.O. for a burger and couldn't show off the nice shine.
By the way, the beast performed like a champ up and back. These cars are definitely made to be driven and driven hard. She just kept asking for more. By the time I got home, all the dirt and slime was like a badge of honor. But I'll be at the wash bucket and Rejex as soon as I can.
