Great looking car! Do you have any pics of your audio system build in the back. From what I can see it looks pretty tricked!

I got mine out, washed it, gave it a quick "once over" with the spray detailer, took it for a couple of short rides, and it's been raining off and on, for the last 6 days......


Yeah, I know it won't shrink, but after I went through all the effort to get it clean, I'd like it to stay that way for a while.....

The roads are almost clean here, supposed to be 15 Celcius (60 F) and sunshine tomorrow. I'm thinking the new NoviStretch should protect the paint some, so ... I think tomorrow is the day. WooHoo!

Took mine out 2 weeks ago and have driven about 250-300 miles of motoring bliss on four 70-80 degree days. Now its 45. This is New England for you (me). Monday looks like my next opportunity for decent weather and traction.

Beautiful day...sunny and high 60s here in SE MI. Finally woke the Vette up from hibernation.

Fired right up as always...went for a nice drive.

Life is good!
