Pulled the cargo carpet to tap power from the rear fuse box
(and that ain't no quick and easy job)

Glad you asked. I busted my *** on this puppy today. Gave it it's first car wash, then applied paint sealer over the entire car, applied Rejex to the chrome wheels, applied tire dressing, then took it for a ride....Damn, it looks good!

Spent almost 4 hours detailing it today. Wash, "clayed" it with a Nanoskin AS-016 AutoScrub Fine Grade Wash Mitt (try it you'll like it - on Amazon), a coat of Zaino Z2 on the paint and Rejex on the wheels and glass... Even blacked the tires and shined the exhaust pipes. Shines like a mirror.
If that doesn't break the drought in my area and give us some rain I don't know what will.

Ken, is your a coupe or convertible? I was going to tap the infamous fuse 37 for power when my vert comes in, but I may go another way if the fuse box in the vert is as hard to tap as the coupe seems to be...

I actually REMOVED the passenger side windshield wiper...the only one that's visible with the hood closed. It looks much better. And I siphoned out the windshield wiper fluid to save weight...

Washed it yesterday morning - quick wash, as we had ppl over, and I couldn't have it looking so dirty. 
Matching-color metallic blue Camaro in the background. Wife may start using that as her DD.
Hard to see them, but I got my Lashway skirts & splitter installed a few days ago.
Today, I took it for a nice drive through the hills. Basically this route: http://www.mapmyride.com/us/livermor...oute-115827325
Got to break in the new driving shoes, which match the shoes on the Corvette:
Now I'm catching up on the Laguna Seca race.
A very Corvette weekend.

I drove her up for a bagel and a some newspaper reading this morning, then took her to Hope Depot later in the day, then wiped a dead bug off the windshield and picked up some debris from the drivers footwell with a rolled piece of clear packing tape.
