Nice to drive it without worrying about every little nick. I wish primer was a factory option

Here's a couple of pics from a trip to Yellowstone. No cat at 90 pic... I would have had a deer at 70 pic from last weekend, but I had to rinse the blood off as soon as I got home at 1 am... Just couldn't face it it in the morning without at least hosing her off.

Are you by the airport in Amarillo? I used to stop there on my way to New Mexico bow hunting for Elk. Did you sit on the stage and eat the all of the steak?

I hope you guys don't mind me adding a pic of my C5 in here It's my daily driver, even in winter.




That shot was taken just before it's weekly hand wash at the detail shop that I use when it's too cold to wash at home. Here is how she looked a half hour after that first shot:

Not the worst it's ever been, but the only pic available. Taken on the way home from delivery in Detroit. CRM doesn't show dirt much, but it sure cleans up purrty.
