Default Finally!

After moving from So. California to Georgia (just north of Atlanta) 2 months ago having the vette brought in via auto transport I finally was able to give it a good wash. Had many, many things to attend to relating to the move and the house and finally got to the point I could show the vette some love. Now to take it for a drive, I've been on a few tree lined roads that look great for a vette ride.

BEFORE


AFTER

and now to get some Georgia plates

That's a beauty! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm on the west side OTP. Hopefully there'll be another group ride soon!

Glad you made it out of Commiefornia. Just don't tell anyone that you're "from" Cali. It doesn't go over well in the south. Ask me how I know.

Welcome to GA! I'm north of Atlanta as well -- Alpharetta/Roswell area. Look at running Six Gap in north Georgia -- did it a couple of weeks ago w/ some friends from work and had a great time!

Ha, ha, actually the wife and I are originally from Chicago but spent the last 35 years in Cali til we could not take it anymore, we are actually embarrassed to say we're from Cali and usually say Chicago.
