where they live they have a stone driveway... and the parking lot of the track is a stone driveway also as you can see.. it gets washed all the time and it ends up dirty again... go figure lol.

but today im going to their house and going to help his brother with his big turbo 2007 WRX STI and we're going to take pics of the corvette and the STI together and i'll post them up also

and they are both going to wash the cars before we take pics this time

I saw it and was wondering but then I didn't see any slicks sticking out the fenders so I figured it must not be too nasty!
