Dixon, rockin clean vette man! I'm in the market for another vette in the near future, and I'm diggin the blue. Question is, is it diff to keep clean (like black) or is it pretty forgiving?

The new wheels really set your car off, esp the chrome style bling...very stylish.

BTW, are you native Kuwait, or civi, or military? (if you can pass that info)

Anyway, keep your head down, stay safe.

Thanks guys. The cops out here don't care about speeding and won't stop you for it but they are bastards if you have a loud car. Don't know why. I am an American civilian here in Kuwait. Blue would be alright in the states I don't think you should have too big of a problem keeping it clean, out here on the other hand it needs to be washed everyday to keep it showroom clean.

That is weird that they would be ****** for you having a loud exhaust. How long you been over there? Any good races?

Ive been out here for 4 years the racing is great here lots of empty, open, and long straight roads. Hard to compete with these guys though they throw a lot of money in their cars and a vette here isn't exactly a class A car here either this has to be the exotic capital of the world. Thanks for the good feedback guys.

You don't like the targa tops? My favorite part is being able to ride with the top off on a nice day thats what was the determining factor in getting it because I really don't like the way verts look with the top up.
