Default New to the c3 section!

Hey guys & gals,

Been hanging around the forum for a while now, mainly in the c4 section, trying to learn as much as I can about my 94 vert. In doing so, I've kinda forgetten about my 81 4-speed coupe that sits in the garage. Don't know why I've never ventured over to this section and hung out? My mistake. Just wanted to say HI! to everyone and I'll start checking in to the c3 section more often!

Oh, and by the way here's a pic of my two cars that I recently took. Enjoy
1981 4-speed coupe Charcoal Metallic 67,000 miles 2nd owner
1994 6-speed vert Torch Red 76,000 miles Daily driver
And no thats not my house. Belongs to a buddy of mine. He does let me use the garage though

Nice pair of vettes and welcome to the C3 section. Lots of great folks over here too. I love the color on the 81. One of these days, I would love to add one like that to my garage..

Welcome to the insanity!

Nice vettes, both the 81 and the 94.

While I'm really more of a C3 "freak" as when I was growing up that was what a Corvette was, you still gotta love those C4's for the way they handle.
