Default Superman09 Winter pics

Well I decided today to back the vetter out of the garage and snap some pics with all the recent snow we've gotten here in Michigan. Also I picked up a C6 shifter from a member on here just before X-Mas and Santa brought me a C6 **** to complete it! So anyways, here are some pics! let me know what you think! Thanks!

The neighbors must think you are a bit wacky, driving your car in and out and around the driveway. Of course, they don't have Vettes so they wouldn't understand. I, on the other hand, understand the snow.

That's pretty low. I'm guessing that's not on the stock bolts.

Thanks everyone! Not much ice, just a lot of snow! Only had 1 really bad ice storm that I can remember. Froze all the trees and the extra weight of the ice took many down.

As for the stance, not stock bolts. Has lowering bolts up front, and longer ones out back.

Neighbors already think I'm crazy, haha. I always get weird stares when they see me washing the same car I washed the day before, haha. My next door neighbors always comment on how often I clean my cars and ask why since I just did it the day before, lol.

Have to start it up and back it out every once n a while to cure my addiction. The Corsa is like music to my ears after driving around the 2.2l Sonoma

Just be careful if you just start it for a bit in the winter because by not getting it up to operating temps and then shutting it down can cause condensation in the exhaust and cause some problems. I used to wash mine after every time that I drove it and if you really want some weird looks from the neighbors, dry it with a leaf blower! My neighbors think that I'm nuts (and they're pretty much right ).

The nicest thing about being thought of as Crazy, is that people tend to leave you alone ...and that's not a bad thing, especially when you want to just relax and detail your car!

Looking good. also - Great color choice... I've got a C6 Z06 shifter to install. Did you have any difficulty hooking the top of the boot to the shifter?

I usually don't like the Cray wheels too much, but they look really good on the silver.

Nope, I read some people fold it over more but I didnt do anything, just slid the boot down and put the **** on? Might be a little extra boot now but its alright

Thanks! I love the sebring silver myself and the spokes of the Cray wheels are almost an identical match to my paint!

Really appreciate all the nice words!
