Beautiful 92
|
Closed up the pool for the season on Sunday, which is a long process. By the time I finished up, I was tired and sore, but it was only late afternoon and there was still some sunshine left. So I decided to take the 'vette out for a drive along the Lake Michigan coast. Got out at Grand Haven, and walked the beach a bit as the shadows got longer. Wandered out past the lighthouse to the end of the pier and contemplated life for five minutes or an hour. Then I took an alternate route home along a deserted country road where I could really open her up. I'm going to have to store her for the winter soon, but I'm putting it off as long as possible. I'm a recent C4 owner, and I'm in love.

1996 Grand Sport
Just got it today, was traded in at local Chevy dealer by previous (1 owner) for a C8 vette. I am the second owner and only has 35k miles, plan on leaving it totally stock and just enjoying driving to car shows and nice weekend drives. I am a former Camaro / Chevelle guy and am new to the Corvette world, should be fun.

Before the long cold winter settles upon the frozen Michigan land ... one more drive to remind me how blessed I am.

I've been having so much fun with her, I'm sad that winter storage is on the horizon. |

It took me a while to realize this is a Polo Green vette. Even now, it totally looks like a black vette reflecting it's background like I had thought. |

Beautiful car and engine upgrades so far...love the plates too...:thumbs:
David Here's a shot of that new setup all put together plus, the latest plate. Although the '30 FFTH' was a good one, new plate is more fitting for the Vette and really... as a whole in this never-ending classic car obsession 🤪 Mark~ https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...a970c51f61.jpg |

Beautiful car!
What do you use to get them sawblades looking so clean? https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...67bfd53f35.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...762f6ef910.jpg Our car was a 33k-mile survivor when we bought it last year, so the wheels were still in pretty good shape cosmetically. They're not literally "as-new" but they look pretty good for being 28 years old. |

Thanks!
Here's a link to our "Old dog, new trick" thread where I show some of the methods I've employed for restoring and maintaining the wheels on our car (continue scrolling down through the thread for some pix on how I detailed the inside of the wheels): https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1607272578 https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...67bfd53f35.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...762f6ef910.jpg Our car was a 33k-mile survivor when we bought it last year, so the wheels were still in pretty good shape cosmetically.

Where did you get your tires from? I'm having a hard time finding any to fit my 86.
And thanks for the amazing tips on how to get those wheels looking fresh again!!! |
