I kinda figured it was WC. Pretty sure Arpad's is Garnet, also based on MY. I LOVE my HBM but that WC looks incredible in the sun! I really want to move up to a ZL1, but finding a HBM vert is hard. I may have to wait for a used WC to show up on the market. I just can't go with Riverside Blue (sorry RSB owners!)

I really thought the blue was a beautiful color in the Camaro, but as I've had so many blue in the past, I figured I'd go with something similar to my SS Sedan which had a bit of an organic feel to it. In a less than sunny day, it looks unassuming, but in the sun the color also had some snap to it. This picture was taken in Feb. The paint still looked great after 5 years. I'm curious to see what colors are going to replace the Satin Grey and Wild Cherry in a few weeks.

I feel the exact same way. I'm keeping my eye on an '18 ZL1 here locally. (HBM)... They want to much for it though. I doubt given today's auto environment that will change, but if they sit on it long enough... I'm hoping.

what did i do to my 6g today?

crossed my fingers as i hit the start button for the first time this year. she cranked slow but fired after it hit the second time. i'm surprised the original battery got it done. garage is not temp controlled and i don't put tenders or chargers on anything.

The one near Rockford or Carol Stream? The Rockford one is really low miles! Just do it, YOLO! I was watching an 18 HBM vert in PA but it’s gone.

Glad it fired up for you. I hate to go more than a week without starting and driving my cars. I can't imagine having to let them sit for several months.

I can't believe you don't put a battery tender on it at least once a week for a few hours. New battery tenders are good at maintaining a battery, but I still try not to leave one on for more than 24 hours at a time.

Haven't started mine since Nov... but I take the battery out and put it in the basement on a tender. Actually I did buy a new battery too. Other one was the OEM battery. (6 years old).

i have never used a tender. i've had countless cars over the years and i only recall one of them not starting. to be fair, the battery in that car needed replaced before it ever got parked.

wish the roads weren't so dirty, id get it out today and go survey the wind damage around here. i heard (and felt) at least one tree come down last night.

We just got 1.5"s or rain yesterday, so the roads got washed off real good. However; we are supposed to now get 1.5"s of snow tomorrow, so they'll be out spraying more brine and dumping salt.

Washed her with Adam's ceramic wash & coat, didn't see much of a difference vs normal soap and detail spray as a drying agent, except it wasn't too sudsy, I had to work more quickly.

Then I went and picked up my daughter from work, we enjoyed the magnificent sunset on the way home. Only one crazy BMW driver on the road this time, but the brembos worked real good, yay.
