Default Wedding Present for Me........

A C4!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooohoooo! I have the coolest girl ever. She is buying a C4 for me for a wedding gift! How cool is that? I miss my previous '89 coupe. It looks like I'll be back soon. I'm looking for a triple black '89 Vert.

Sounds like you got yourself a great woman!! I feel sorry for some guys who's marriage becomes their prison sentence as their wives
won't take an interest or understand their husbands hobbies.....yours being the Corvette. That goes for guys too...many won't let their wives pursue their interests either......so hats off to yer woman!!! Enjoy the C4....posts some pics!!!!

She was raised right! Keep us posted on the search. I am having a ball researching my next buy. I find it comical and puzzling the way some folks overprice their cars though. Don't they do any comparative research? What bizarro world are some of them living in?

Oh the excitement of the search for another C4. My girl is definitely a keeper. She knows how badly I've wanted another Vette for quite some time now. Maybe I'll buy a '57 Vette for her someday.

Awesome!! I agree with Chewch87 - it is sad when wives don't, well not even as far as take an interest, but perhaps when they don't at least accept or "put up with" the hobby and get jealous, make guys sell their car...I couldn't imagine!

My hubby has done so much work for me (building my new barn, etc)...he even sold his 98 coupe to help finance the land we purchased...for ME...he just wants to live on water!!

Edited: sorry, had to run to a meeting I meant that I bought him a 1994 blk/blk 6spd for xmas last year to thank him for all the hard work he's put in and sacrifices he's made. Couldn't ask for more!!
