Welcome to both of you. I bought my 1994 about 11 months a go as my first Vette. It has been a real learning experience and I have enjoyed it immensely. I can't imagine not having it in the garage now, and driving it nearly every day. Enjoy your recent acquisitions and the Corvette Forum. It has been a life-saver for me multiple times over.

Man....picked up my FIRST corvette today. Its a 1985 Coupe with 19025 original miles. BEAUTIFUL condition. Can you say "LOVE"? Didn't want to tell my girl that...but man, did I love it! Just driving it HOME I fell in love!!!! What a BEAUTIFUL FUN Machine. I've only been reading on the forum for a few days and I see alot of people are not really fond of the C4, well, the early C4s anyways. If this is the bottom of the barrel, MAN, what will I be like when I get to the TOP????????????????? This car is in FANTASTIC condition. You can see the pics on ebay, the auction number is posted above, if your interested. Just fantastic condition. I did pay 10500 for it, it may seem high from some of the notes I've read on the forum for a C4....but its all about CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION! thanks and I'm sure I'll be communicating with many in the future! Bob in Michigan...Port Huron MI to be exact.
