Didn't even have to read your post. If you own a C5 you are obsessed.
As long as your head doesn't spin around 360 degrees and you upchuck transmission fluid you are OK!
Nuff said, Wash it!!

Wash it, drive it, wash it again, isn't it really just one event within the Corvette space-time continuum?

If you think rain SUX, try 22 below zero and snow cover. Though my vettes are nice and clean. They haven't been out of the garage since early NOV. And yes I have washed mine in the rain too.

Since my C5 stays put during wet weather, it stays clean. But when I drove my Firebird Formula, you bet I'd wash it in the rain. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was nuts, but I didn't care.

Anybody remember those white outlined lettered tires back in the '80's? I'll never forget taking dutch cleanser and getting them absolutely white. They never stayed dirty. That was on an '83 Z-28... Ahh, those were the days...
