Her first bath...
I had mixed feelings when I received my Corvette last month. It was right in the middle of a snow storm. I excited beyond belief but on the other hand, a little chapped because of the weather. As the vehicle was unloaded off the truck it was just getting plummeted with snow. I told myself it will never see another snow flake again, and I've been waiting patiently for a dry and warm day here where I can give her it's first bath and that was yesterday so I just wanted to share the pictures with y'all.

Yeah feels better to get it cleaned, right?
I also received my Corvette in the middle of a snow storm - there was ice and snow packed all throughout the neighborhoods, etc.
Fortunately for me, the truck driver agreed to unload it directly into my driveway.
This was delivery day for me:
And the day before:
Notice the nice clean driveway? Three days of shoveling and sprinkling melt to make sure it didn't get packed with snow and ice.
I still washed it that day, I'm sure the neighbors thought I was insane.
