Got the Vette Dirty

Drove it out to my weekend house in Utopia Texas. I have to drive down a dirt road about 1 to 1.5 miles to get to the place.






Look at all the dust that settled on the rear of the car.








Hooked up with Southpaw3519 in Tarpley Texas, about 17 miles from my weekend place. Was going to use the California Car duster, but I accidentally spilled water from a soft side cooler on it.

This is a very interesting place. A convenience store on the right hand side. You can buy a beer and sit in the store and drink it. The place on the left is a dining area for a really fantastic restaurant. It's covered with plastic now for winter.






You can see the outdoor restrooms for the restaurant and store in this pic.






There's the place where you order the food.

I want to move to Texas if you call that a dirty car!

That diner looks like an interesting place! Something different than the normal roadside diners. Yor driving weather looks excellent! I suppose it's pretty warm even though trees are changinc colors? Enjoy your driving weather! I know that I would enjoy that kind of weather at the moment!

Our driving weather is awful, your car will look like this after 200 kilometers (about 120miles) drive at the freeway. This is what I call almost dirty car...

Your bad English is better than my Finnish. I had the car in a photo shoot with models back in September of 2004. I posted a lot of those pics here when I first signed up.

The weather here is warmer than normal for this time of year. I have been wearing shorts and tee shirts lately. I had to cut the grass on Christmas eve.

Hope you all had a great Christmas and are keeping warm there.

Cheers,
Cosmo

Just kidding, your car looks great even when covered with dust and dirt!
