Washed and Waxed my 08 vette (pics)

Washed and waxed my car on this lovely labor day...used Meguiars NXT. I included some photochopped versions. I took them at my old elementary school...brought back some memories. Where has these 11 years went since I left the 6th grade?

So wait...11 years since 6th grade...it only took you only 5 years after graduating from high school to buy a new Corvette?

What the hell was your career path...=/

MSRP is around $46,xxx...I was able to get below supplier pricing on it. So far my mods have cost around $2500-$3000

Base Corvette pricing is pretty agressive. I am sure you can find someone willing to deal. Looks great and great bank for the buck. Please don't drive the thing like a middle-aged grandpa. I find Corvette drivers to be some of the slowest sports car riders on the road--like Harley riders.
