Default I'm back !!!!!!!

hey fellas,

I am very excited and happy to be back in the C4 family.....

Just bought a 95 LT-1 automatic. Dark red metallic w/ 15,900 miles....I had a 94 LT-1 M6 that i sold last year when I bought a C5 vert M6.

I missed my C4 and am glad to be back. Now we are a two vette family

Got some pics, if someone could post them, I would love to share......

Just wanted to share my experience. Posted up on the C4 classified section and got a response. Worked out a deal. Flew out to Iowa this past weekend and my girl and I drove it back to the east coast. It was a great way to spend the weekend.

I also wanted to thank Bill Dorst and his wife for being so hospitable this past weekend and picking us up from the airport!!!!

-Marko

If there were only an icon for whistling on the forum - that's one low-mileage vette you got there!!! I'm impressed!

That sounds like one nice Vette. I hope someone will get your pictures up so we can all get a look see. As far as the C5s not waving, kill em with kindness and keep on waving. They just don't know any better.

Sounds like your new car is clean!

C5 guys usually wave around here, just as much as the rest of the vette owners. I don't know if theres some competition issues between C5 to C5, but here they seem pretty cool in Cali.

Did you happen to buy it from a guy Ceder Rapids?

Did I see it on Ebay a few weeks ago?

If its the same car I was bidding against you!!!!

Congrats

Whew! Thought we had lost another one to the dark side!
Go to www.shutterfly.com to set up an account to host your own pics. It is a user-friendly site and is free.
Then come back and ask how to post pics. It is easy once you have done it once.
Does it look something like this? I'll bet yours is shinier!

It looks just like that, except for a cellular phone antenna (which just got taken off) and it has some of those plastic bolt on mud flaps (also will be taken off).

I'm really happy w/ the paint, except for a nice deep scratch in the rear bumper that is getting a nice LT-1 badge to cover it up...LOL

Good to be back y'all.....

I think the sexiest thing is a girl driving a vette....my last two have been a six speed, so i wanted an auto this time.....(my girl can't drive stick, plus my C5 has over 400 rwhp w/ a blower coming this month)

This is the garage queen and it won't get too many miles....but we will take it out on weekends...

Looks like the right rear tire is a little low.
