Default Dirty Vette !!

I want to thank the jerk i saw this morning going westbound on 696 between Telegraph and Orchard Lk. at about 11a.m. He was driving a black Z06. What were his offenses ? First he didn't even give the customary fellow corvette owner wave , 2nd he was driving like a maniac weaving in and out of traffic at 90+ showing zero consideration for other drivers. I have to admit that i'm real happy to just have brought mine out of it's winter hiatus but not to the point of making an *** out of myself. I see higher insurance rates in this guys future. Oh , I almost forgot the most serious of his offenses. His Vette looked like it hadn't been washed in a month!! Of course why wash it when it will soon be gracing the local junkyard in a heap of a wreck.

Don't mind him driving it hard... as long as his driving record does not raise my insurance rates based on his statistics and he is smart enough not to hurt anyone. (Does not sound like it though ).

And oh yeah, show some respect and clean that Z06.

Some one quick, a black Z06 and it is dirty. HELP ME!

Took mine to get new tires put on. And it rained just enough for mine to get all water spotted. I have to clean it tomorrow.

I'll get to see how the BFG KDW's are when it's dry too.

There are jerks that own every make and model of cars - you ran into one that drives a Corvette.
