Fun things to do with your C4
Starting a list here:
The "look back". This is where you park her and then turn around and look just before you go into a building. Beautiful and it's yours!
Gassing up. As you are standing behind her and pumping in the 93 octane you realize how low and sleek this thing is. Also notice that others in the gas station are admiring her too!
Turning on the headlights. I always get a kick out of seeing them swivel up and lock in place. Very cool!
Doing the turnaround. In Michigan we call it the Michigan turn. This is where you have to turn right, go a ways and then turn 180 degrees to get on the other side of a divided highway. I always love doing this fast and flat!
Going through the gears! Who needs the radio on?!!
Driving a twisty road with the top off or down. Does life get any better?

I like to just ride slow sometimes and let people gaze at my vette. I drove through a parking lot one time with a bus load of high school students standing around and everyone yelled ( nice car). That makes me feel good. Everyone thinks that corvettes should go fast, but sometimes I think they should just look fast.

Pop the clamshell hood to check the oil at every oppurtunity [even though you know thats its new and full] just so people will stare in awe at the sight of that beautiful and unusual setup under the hood.

Going out to eat with the Mrs. Pull up to the resturant and get a great parking spot right out front. Secure a table that has a great view of your pride and joy and watch people admire it as they walk by.
Glancing at a row of store windows that reflect your baby as you slowly cruise thru town. P.S. Always have one eye facing forwards.
