New Vette
Picked up my new 2008 Vette yesterday afternoon. Now I can join:
2008 Owners Group
F55 Owners Group
Dual Roof Owners Group
Two Tone Interior Owners Group
Chrome Wheel Owners Group
Automatic Owners Group
3LT Owners Group
A couple of pics:
Note the snow in the background. It was almost 60 degrees and the snow was turning to water quickly. So my new Vette made the 2.5 mile trip from the dealer and needed to be washed again.

Where are you going to put all those badges, or are you going to design a badge that includes them all in one---- LOL
BTW, anyone who thinks Black is a bugger to keep clean, has never driven a White Vette in salt/sand conditions
CONGRATULATIONS on new VETTE !

The black shows every little scratch and swirl so it takes longer to get looking good. White you can damn near wash with sand paper and it still looks good. I will agree that both get dirty VERY fast so to maximize your "clean" look buy cyber grey and clean your wheels alot!

"The black shows every little scratch and swirl so it takes longer to get looking good. White you can damn near wash with sand paper and it still looks good. I will agree that both get dirty VERY fast so to maximize your "clean" look buy cyber grey"
This must be some of that "White Vette Wax"
( from Z06 or ZR1 thread)
"Don't forget to add in the cost of the sand and bacon fat wax!" and clean your wheels alot!"
edited to say-- with these posts, flame suit is on due to new avatar. I uncovered Vette after a month or so to drive down to fatlands last week end to 60 degree weather. I came home late and woke to this

Dude! Congrats and welcome to the CORVETTE Forum. Enjoy your CORVETTE! In the CORVETTE Forum you will find an area (at one time or another) that talks about any one of the specifics about your car. Enjoy!
BTW...we do NOT have or need an F55 club area but we like to give the Z51 guys crap about needing to have one.
If you want to use the F55 avatar I designed, you are more than welcome, especially if you want to post on the Z51 group only thread. Don't forget to give them a hard time! They secretly like the attention.
