These car are easy to work on and the parts are cheap and plentiful. And the coolest thing is that they don't rust because its all fiberglass.

I could go on, but I'll give others a chance! !!!!!!
"Yes!" - (never said an owner of a '76 Vette - to a stranger who knew the HP, curb weight, production numbers AND exact year and make of his car.
"I don't know what to do this weekend!"
"No thanks! I have MORE than enough tools!"
"Sure honey! Cost me only $25 in parts all year!"
"41 miles per gallon!"

Dont worry, I know exactly where the front of the car ends, so I don't bump the nose parking it.

C3's never leak!
You'll stay nice and dry, going through a car wash.
Adjusting the headlights is easy as pie.
Troubleshooting the electrical is a breeze!
The AIM is put together nicely and it's easy to find what you want.
The handling is very tight and precise.

This car is too nice to have been touched by bubba.
Nahh, let's just get the rear exhaust filler panel painted before we put it on…I'm sure it'll fit just fine.
Just have to take out those screws and the center console should come right up…replacing it will be a breeze!
Let's just focus on one task at a time, we'll get to all the other stuff another time.

No C3 owner has ever said:
"Its pouring and it is a good thing the wipers don't work!"
"AC is overrated…besides a little sweat does the body good!"
"I'm just going to the grocery store, I'll be back in a flash!"
"I'm sure glad that I never drive my C3!"
"Winter is coming! Winter is coming! I can't wait to put the C3 in storage!"
"Did you say it had a rusty birdcage?….SOLD, I'll take it!"
"Oh I'll just spend 15 minutes adjusting the hood, then I'll be in for dinner honey..I promise !"

My stock wiring and all gauges have never given me any issues.
My C3 is the perfect daily driver.
I'm glad the dash and center console is so easy to take out.
Changing rear diff fluid is a piece of cake.
The door mirrors on my C3 provide fantastic visibility.
The interior of my C3 is actually quite roomy.
My C3 is nice to drive in the rain, and even better in the snow.

I sure am glad the battery is behind the drivers seat.
I pegged the speedo on that last run, we'll need a radar gun...
I bet all bolts will be that easy to remove.
I bet my brakes will never leak again.
The seat go forward/back only? That's awesome!
I wish my car came with TWO A.I.R. pumps!
Pssst...who needs A/C, I have t-tops.

I wish more stuff was vacuum operated.
What's the skinniest tire that will fit?
Can I retrofit catalytic convertors?
How can I make the key buzzer louder?
Who makes a decent drum brake kit?
