Across the US

My marriage went kaput recently, so with nothing to keep me in VA I took a job in Phoenix. I wanted to drive the vette out there and have a good look at the US along the way but couldn't fit it in with the work schedule. So back of the truck for the vette.

It was pretty filthy when it came off the truck, carrying two thousand miles of road dirt. So I got it detailed, claybarred and buffed.

Sweet. Beautiful car in a beautiful part of the country.

Keep 'em and paint 'em black, that would look good. That is just my opinion. Nice to hear that the car made it with just some dirt.

Take a trip over to Lake Havasau in the summer time, and you won't be single for long.

Best wishes for your new life. You'll love it in Summer when the temperatures get up there. Say Hi to London Bridge for me

Great looking Vette and glad it came through the ordeal looking so sharp.
