Looks good dudes.

Our cars are meant to be driven, not stored in a bubble 5-6 months out of the year, then taken out only for car shows where its parked again for 7 hours while the owner sits in his lawn chair lol.

So damn boring. I love these types of threads.

Kudos to you dude.

It will clean up fine. At least you are out enjoying it. Are some of those Floridian love bugs?

they took that wheel off at the dealership while getting my oil changed, and I was like "do you see what you have done to my wheel's paint job? Why did you touch my wheels?"

there was a month stretch where i just did not clean them at all... after they touched them, i had to.

Had to use really strong soap on this one

Bird strike at 150mph

change your brake pads to powerstops and those brown wheels will stay black and dust free.it would be a good thing to get rid of those itialian racing tires,"Baldinis" and get some new shoes.LOL

yeah, those tires are long gone, back to mpss. Those were the tires i had on my car going through the mountains at over 100mph in the rain on the WV turnpike when the other forum user was chasing after me in his new black grand sport and we made it from NC to Ohio in several hours time. I was more worried he was going to wreck than me. Not my first rodeo in a vette in the wet. The guy drove well though.

When it was dry, we were running over a buck-twenty the whole way. And those were the bugs from that trip. Renaldo Dorsey was his name i believe.

Found that thread, post #84

Lets be honest, at the end of the day we are driving chevy's not import exotics. That's what makes the corvette such a value, anything goes wrong there is always a repair facility close.

Or with the amazing gm deals, just dump it for a newer year model. So easy.

Enjoy these cars. They're not rare exotics.
