Default There's just something about these cars..

The other night while putting out the garbage, I opened the garage door as usual. This is so I can get a peek at my "sleeping beauty", hibernating for winter. That big ol' *** with the long trunk and quad tip exhaust, always grabs my attention. Then you can't hep notice the bumped roof, and killer stance......There's just something about the back of these cars, that even the amazing C6 Z06 lacks.....Sh*t's just looks mean!

The best part about it is that after 5 years of ownership, I still stare at this car the way I did when I first got it... and I don't expect this to change.

I still stare at my 04Z06 that I have had for 8 years. I got it new and still open the garage door to peek at it....

In fact i'm going out to detail it now as I'm going to Cars n Coffee with my Corvette buddies in the morning !

I'm not sure if you are joking or not. But if not, then his rear panel is painted black in the style of the C5R race cars, as shown below.

I count myself lucky every day, and every time I walk up to it in the lot or at home I stop for a minute just to enjoy the view...

So the brake dust doesn't show up, of course. I need to do the same on my Millennium Yellow one...
