Thanks Vettman Jack, Ever since I drove her off the lot (with 10 miles on her) 3 years ago its been nothing but a love affair LOL. The other day my step son saw me driving down the streets of Brooklyn with the top in the trunk, Stones cooking on a thumb drive and a huge grin on my face, fuhgeddaboutit!
She's my daily driver and boy do I

love driving her ( like all of us her do) love washing and waxin her hell I even love lookin at her. There's not many things sadder than a dirty corvette .

I agree. I've owned mine for 11 months now and haven't washed it. Too many rain storms or trips to work where I get bugs on the front. I won't take it through a quick car wash, so I'm stuck waiting for a time where I can enjoy a clean car for more than two weeks. It's my daily driver. I have detailed the interior multiple times and washed the wheels of brake dust.....and taken the bugs off the front once. But luckily the color hides a lot. Yes, I know, I'm the devil for not washing it, but I don't have all the time in the world to enjoy it for only a week before it's ruined. Like you said, life sets priorities. To be clear, I've taken great care of my car......except for washing it.

Nice vette and I'm glad it make you happy!

I've got a 2019 GS as well. Love every aspect of the car. Drive it to enjoy it, that's the only way.
