will you take her to the beach - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Take it on the beach, NO.
Take it to the beach, Yes.

In fact my first road trip planned will be driving down to Key West.
With a little care, beach showers or bottles of water, you can keep the sand to a minimum.

You only live once. Take her to the beach, then get her cleaner inside and out after you're done enjoying yourself. Fun time, and another excuse to have her cleaned.

Hate to over-simplify but,

the answer is:

Floor Mats

Take them out and shake them off after beach party number 432.

I grew up on the beach. Life's a beach.

SirBrad · 06-06-2009, 04:51 PM

I live 3 blocks from the beach...took it out today just for a ride. Got a thumbs up for a guy driving a Jaguar. Lots of people turning heads.

Luckily I can walk to the beach so I won't have to worry about getting sand inside of the car.

cam2fst4u · 06-06-2009, 06:44 PM

Like mentioned earlier just get a good shop vac and vacum it a few times.... or you could just wear flip flops and keep your regular shoes in the trunk take your flip flops off put them in a plastic bag and put your other shoes on that wasn't on or in the sand

Speed 1 · 06-06-2009, 06:52 PM

Yup!

I'm not scared of a little sand.....

Thrillz · 06-06-2009, 07:15 PM

Holy hell op u gonna be a mess with this car. Just put it in a vacuumed sealed bag in the garage cover it up and be done with it. Myself when i get this car im going to the beach,making out in the back seat with my wife,doing doughnuts in the mall parking lot,taking it to the local drag strip and doing burn outs just to name a few things off the top of head. This car is meant for this stuff. I enjoy my cars

On the Corvette forum the waxers that have had the cars for 10 years with 1000 miles on them ask things like " if it gets wet will it be damaged " or " can I drive in the rain ". My Z 06 has been to the beach so many times I cant count and yes the sand is in there. You can remove the seats and vacuum it but it is there. Hell it is a car. It is made to be enjoyed. Take her out and have fun with her. If she gets sand or a few battle scars with time so be it. I see the Vette waxers at car shows and they love the cars but damn they are miserable...they are afraid of their cars. I beat the piss out of my Z 06 and 90 k miles later she is sandy and scared and I have loved every second of it!!!

Number 3 · 06-06-2009, 07:49 PM

To the beach.................how about ON the beach.

You really shouldn't have too many concerns. If you are worried about any damage from salt, just take it to the car wash and clean it up after the day at the beach.

Daytona, New Smyrna, St. Augustine, and I think there's some others but those are the main ones. They've tried to get rid of it in the past but luckily it has failed.
