Default Very Cool C5 Logo

Little story first.

Went to my brother-in-law's yesterday for a bar-b. We stayed a little later than planned and had a little too much wine, so we stayed over. My car stays in a heated garage and isn't driven at all in the winter so I felt horrible when I looked outside to see this:





The frost was so thick I thought someone had painted my car frost white during the night. Nothing wrong with frost white, but I really like pewter.

Anyway, I drove home early today and put her in her warm garage. Went in the house for 5 minutes or so, and then went back to retrieve our things from the car. This is what I found:



That has to be the coolest (maybe coldest) C5 logo ever.

I was wondering if the frost made it look a different color.

When I go over the the brother inlaws for a BBQ and have a few too many I always have him promise me forehand to let me park in his garage, he then obligingly removes his Escalade and in goes my Vette. (But in all fairness he does share this info. with anyone willing to listen...lol.) Thanks for sharing and think of my little story next time you are in for a BBQ. Greetings, Rob

I don't know, but the frost might have damaged the paint.
