Did a quick clean on the exterior (less than 15 minutes with waterless wash), put the top down, and went for a long drive. First time I've had her out in a couple of weeks thanks to the cold we've had here.

Lots of snow, ice, salt and sand on the road so the Corvette stayed in the garage. I detailed the wheels and vacumed out the interior. Labor of love.

Drove it with the top down.

It was snowing a few days ago, and I haven't had a chance to wash it yet. Roads are still salt-laden, anyway.



Yep, that's salt on the car!

Washed it, put it back in the garage, covered it and bought some more tools to fill in some of

the missing pieces.

Where did you get the trays to organize the tools in your drawer? Those are nice.

They were from my old craftsman blown case I bought back in the late 90s. They are a perfect fit in my new chest.

Are these forgestar CF10 in 19/20? Do you have the offset specs? Looks excellent.

Yes forgestar CF10, but 19x10 and 19x12. I don't recall what the offset was, I asked for an aggressive offset.

Sweet...those do look aggressive (based on Forgestar's recommendations) but still great. I'd guess 19x10 +25 and 19x12 +40.

Washed the crud off it from the prior weeks use on Sat. AM, then drove to a photo shoot 2 1/2 hour away on Sat. afternoon. It's dirty again, but rainy here today. So tomorrow it will get another bath.

I left it in the garage and took the '59 Apache to a local car show.



You can only drive one at a time.

Bought one... Probably pick it up late this week as they're taking care of a couple of issues first.

Nice color. The red calipers look hood on the yellow!

With the sun going down, it looks like a normal black color
But it still has a good shine
The daily driver cleans up good too considering it is 12 years older and has 250,000 more miles.
Left work an hour early to take advantage of a warm, sunny January day (they've been rare these days) and gave the two kids a bath. Road King and Garage Queen look pretty decent with the dust knocked off.
