I know this is not the correct way to look at a Corvette, but this is what one looks like after 1200 miles of highway at 80 mph. I couldn't wash it every day so had to wait till I got home.

Absolutely. There are some amazing roads in the Black Hills. Just wish there wasn't so much traffic.

Oh man, that had to be fun to wash..

Glad to see someone else racking up the miles on their Vette.

I have come to realize that nothing is really too far, or out of the way in a Corvette... (What we need some milk, lets see, I think there is a grocery in Steamboat Springs... back in a bit)

Spray PAM on the front before your drive through the bug zone. Cleanup's a "snap"!

I just drove mine up here to Durango from San Antonio 1050 miles fortunately I waxed it the day before heading back up here and the bugs came off rather easily. It was rather nasty looking though when I got here.
