I washed my 03 vert then my wife and I detailed the interior. She's a lot more limber than me so she did most of the inside work.
I then pulled it in the garage and put it on jack stands so I could change the oil and filter.
After that was done I decided to leave it on the jack stands and detail the tires and wheels (wife had already gone shopping).
It was a lot easier to do it while it was up higher so I decided to wax and polish the exterior.
Took it off the stands and admired it for a few minutes.
My 03 Vert is now ready for the Veteran's Day Parade next Saturday Nov. 10. We'll be in the nicest and cleanest 03 Corvette Vert there!
Sure hope it don't rain!

Drove mine since it was close to 50 today with no rain. Can’t seem to string together 2 sunny days back to back here in Upstate NY this year but at least it hasn’t snowed yet and no salt on the road yet.

Are you talking about the interior pillar post trim or the exterior windshield pillar post trim?

I added air to my tires, since the sharply declining temperatures here lead to decreased tire pressure. Not terribly exciting, but still necessary.

yep, just started mine after sitting a couple of days and got the ‘low pressure’ warning. Pressures are down to 24 psi.

Good tires for the $$$ ( stated numerous times on the forum) and good price in general. I have Z sizes on my coupe too. I would like to have gone wider in the rear, but finding a combo of the same tire that works is almost impossible.

Frank I think your car is one of the nicest I have seen. I can tell it's in good hands.

Can’t believe how much shock discussion I’ve been reading/participating in lately. I have c6Z06 sways, but I’m trying to decide on shocks. Most important to me is the ride, in normal street conditions is either the same or better.

I kept double taking my car all day today. It seems almost like a different car because Yesterday I got my new wheels and tires installed. It’s appearance is so much more aggressive now. Next stop caliper paint!

Took mine out for a nice cool drive. Was about 35 degrees today... partly sunny. Nice "chill day" for a cruise!

I’m sure. Here, the leaves and pine needles are on full assault on the cars.
