thanks! i SERIOUSLY think this is the first time I have ever taken a semi-decent batch of pics before. I was pleasantly surprised! Then again, I guess it doesn't hurt to have the subject of your pictures be a mint Torch Vette!

beautiful ride man. Do you find it a challenge in and around the houston area with it sitting that low. Been thinking about dropping mine a little.

thanks for the compliments! To be honest with you - I only used the california duster to go over it, and shined up the wheels

DossHoss - I don't live in the loop or anything, so it is fine ... if I were downtown, it may be different but then again I HATE driving downtown!
