Wow, that is one sharp looking ride. The DBGM color is very pretty.

The day after I bought mine I was still on the road home.

What a great color, congratulations. Looks awesome

Another vote here for Ragg Topp for cleaning the roof

I probably have the most unusual story for "The Day After"

I bought my car in December 2002 and didn't move out to Las Vegas until later in 2003. I bought the car in the afternoon and then drove to McCarran Airport and climbed on a 747 back to England! So I guess the answer is I took a transatlantic flight

Colderbythelake,

Another vote for Ragg Topp...Great looking Vette w/super color! When I first got my '99 FRC I was ticked w/defeating CAGS! Enjoy your new baby!

Went out to the garage several times to sit in it, when I wasn't driving it that is.

Got my Mag Red Vert 1 year ago. Just drove the hell out of it the first week. Another vote for Ragg Top. Your top doesn't look like it needs any cleaning. Nice color!

Welcome to the BGM club! I don't remember exactly what I did, but I learned shortly that you only drive with the top down at night when you know there will be no rain...nothing bad, but I spent a good bit of time drying out.
