Beautiful Vette!  I have always loved that color.  Looks like you've done some polishing on the wheels too.  Nice!

car looks great and agree that the tires look wider! Winter wont go away here in Pa either. During the work week the temps seem to be getting better then when weekend gets here its cold. Hopefully this is the last week for that as the long term forecast looks to be nicer here in the East. I saw a few flyers for different car shows so Im sure many are hoping for the nicer weather.
