For an older, cheaper Vette it's still clean looking thanks to you.

Me to wife - "awesome babe, I won't drink much and I'll be home by 12."
Me to friend - "Bro, Jess TOLD me to go out. We're getting hammered tonight buddy!"

RESULT - Drank a half a bottle of Patron, spent a bill bar hopping. Home at 4am and the worst hangover since I've been civi.

Icing on the cake - retracting all the stupid posts I made here.

So Chris, YESSIR! I was toasty...

Nice pic...go back and angle the car across the road next time, nice 3/4 side shot...and set the camera further down so it's at bumper-level height for a different lower profile angle

I like the location

There's this one spot outside of town for me, it's a railroad bridge, about half that height, where two lane road on each side of the bridge goes into a one lane underneath, have always wanted to get a shot there but never managed to...

Haha, ol' Sanger, TEXAS! We're considering that town when we move back next year. There's a few in that area I like! My wife likes Azle, I like the Denton area.

I like your ride! Perfect rim choice. Very verryy clean. Just offering a suggestion and not trying to sound like an a**.. but I do agree with filling the license plate holes. I plugged mine up and it looks A TON better. the easiest solution, and also what I did.. you can go to any hardware store and buy..well plastic plugs? Their exact name escapes me:/ they're black typically, so if you wanted them to match just get a dab of touch up paint on there. Whatever you think would be best! My max is KV3 gray so the black looked fine for me. Ill post a pic later when I get the strength to go outside and shovel the 5 inches of snow we just got in chi town-_-
