Default Weekend Shine

With great weather in SC this past weekend (sunny and 80) I turned up the tunes and washed and waxed the vettes. Damn they look good after a wash and shine.

Grandson and I got our vette out of the garage this afternoon when he got home from school and washed it down, shined it up and put it right back in the garage. Huge rainstorm predicted here tonight but it'll brighten up the garage.
