Default Show us your filthy Vette...

As I was going through pics I found one of my favorites of the vette. This pic reminds me how much I enjoy driving this thing (rain or shine), as well as how much I enjoy cleaning it. To me a clean vette looks better, but a dirty vette is more fun.

What say you? Let's see the dirtiest vette possible!

The first year I had my 2019 I got caught in an early winter storm...a friend who parked at the same commuter train station saw it there & snapped this photo while I was still at work. Got some road salt on it as a result...but a quick trip to the car wash before garaging it for the rest of the winter did the trick.

My motto in 40 years of Vette ownership (C3, C5 and now C7) has been to drive them as much as possible in the Great White North...and that's what I do.

Returning home after the 2009 National Corvette Caravan in our 2000 Dark Bowling Green convertible, we stopped in Ely, Nevada on Hwy 50 "The Loneliest Highway in America". A dust storm covered the highway with white alkali dust, then a sudden downpour turned it into white mud.

Sorry, but my car is clean at the moment - detailed it up before putting it away for the winter. Wait another month or so and the car will be coming out of hibernation.

No worries, I fixed it for you. My car is XPEL coated and cleans up GREAT, but I enjoy getting it dirty...

We can agree on the automatic car wash part, LOL.

I have never missed a car more than I do my C5!

I should take a pic of mine now.. and it's black so of course it looks even worse.

It's been raining a lot lately in San Diego. I haven't bothered washing it because I'm going to be leaving the country for a week and half soon and after I get back I'm having a paint correction/ceramic coating done.

Made trip from West Coast to East Coast every year since our purchase of our Vette and many mishaps. I totally agree with the Commandments but when driving things happen


Thanks South Dakota




Seattle paints the road lines no warning, Thank you Xpel

The weatherman said there wouldnt be any snow, he lied. Just a little road salt. Cleaned it very thoroughly the next day including the undercarriage.
