Its not as much the show as it is getting out in Orlando in the warmer weather in the middle of the winter and hanging out with Camaro owners.

Also a topless drive down International Blvd in 70deg weather is priceless in February.

Great work I wouldn't be able to bring myself to drive my car after cleaning/detailing it to the extent you have. I wish I had time to do something that in depth

I feel the same way. That is one clean car though. I'm sure most people would never be able to even guess it was driven at the track and what not.

Thanks alot guys. The car will still be driven, but I can assure you it won't end up in the gravel again

. I am sure it will see more miles in the trailer than on the road, but I really get my enjoyment from polishing on it and meeting great people at the shows I attend. Its just how you enjoy your car. Some drive then daily, race em, show em, detail em, or just drive them in a bubble and watch it throught the plastic. We all here have different ways of enjoying these awsome cars!!

We arrived yesterday afternoon to Kissimmee.

Now get this. I went out and bought new Auto Zone rotors for Red and was very careful not to get any water on them so at least for this show, they would be rust free. I load it in the trailer and we leave when its 39deg, and by the time I hit Georgia, and the temps were in the upper 70's, I peaked in on the car and the wheels were sweating so much there was beads of water comming down them. So guess what the rotors look like now? Four new rusty rotors.

I have got to save my pennies and get some better ones, but I told myself I would not get them until I can afford a set of Baer or Willwood. Crazy what the humidity and temps will do to metal.

Oh well, will pull em off and paint the centers some time in the future.

Winternationals start tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the comments guys. I really appreciate them.
