2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: The Best Option for a Used Corvette

2002_corvette_whl_chevrolet_ct_1.jpg 

The Z06 just got a pretty thorough detailing. It's the best money you'll ever spend on a used Corvette.

Over time, a kind of veneer of neglect builds up on a Corvette. Because this car is so easy to use, you start to take it for granted. Its simple practicality kind of smudges your whole idea of the car.

Then you commission a detail and suddenly everything about the car is crisp and clean.

What you see might not be entirely to your taste, but you sure know that it's really something -- a car worth owning.

Meh.
Part of the fun of owning a true enthusiast's car is spending a pleasant afternoon detailing it yourself.

Nicely done. How much was it, and how thorough? I like detailing my own car, but thought I'd treat my car one day to a professional service.

Detailing is part of ownership to me! Makes you more one with the car!

Whoever they paid to do that detail missed the wheel well. Try again.
