C6 coupe driven clean

I've never considered cleaning or driving my 18 month old Corvette an either/or proposition. I believe it is a "one, then the other" deal. I like driving a clean Vette. Today I got it ready for a day trip on Monday, Presidents Day

Ya'll have a good one too

Clean mine every week. Costs me $1 at the coin-operated car wash. Drive it 3-5 times a week while it's clean.

Yep, it really does not take a lot of effort and mine always runs better clean. The dirtier I get it, the better it cleans up! Thankfully I don't have the snow/salt/slush issues to deal with

Your Vette looks super, and I agree with you on always driving a clean looking Vette.

Nothing worse than a dirty car especially one as sexy as a Vette.

Any time I go on a road trip no matter the car I like to wash it first. There's just something about going on a trip in a clean car.

The blue in the structures behind your car REALLY set off your car color! Can you post up a full size picture here for us?

Mines a daily driver

Mines pretty much a daily driver and I have no garage. I use a cover sometimes.
