Daily Driver down here in Tampa. 84, Light Bronze, Dark Bronze Z-51. You may also see her up on the south side of Boston where home is. She is real loud.

I see only a few c-4s here in Tampa. There are way more C-5s on the block though.

I like to drive my 87 almost every day, it likes to be out on the road but I would not say its my daily driver. It's for pleasure only & finds the air in the garage way to stuffy.

However I am seeing less & less C4's on the road.

My '84 with 91K is taking an early summer rest while I have the intake ported and the TBs bushed. Yeah, I know..should have done it this winter. I never said I was smart. You should see her again in the Indy are in a few weeks!

I walk around it every night before bed.

I take my 87 out about once a week or so in nice weather.

A few days ago, I took the targa off and took off down
the highway just to enjoy the day and the car. On the way,
the odometer flipped its way past
49k. Appropriately, it did so as I was cruising somwhere
around 80 mph in light traffic under heavy sunshine - and oldies
on the stereo.

I don't know - but maybe Chevy has some idea. I still have the '89 I bought new, and out of the blue, I started receiving Corvette Quarterly again - for free - which they sent to me when I bought it. I'm also back to getting sales literature. Maybe try the Corvette Museum? There was a rumor for awhile that their marketing department was combing DMV records for owners and with 25% of the production sold here, that would be a real motherlode for them Only I don't see how they can get into that database in this State (CA). Based on current privacy laws, it would be illegal, though that's not to say they didn't hire a 5th grader to hack into it.

I just got mine so I've been driving it on nice days. More than likely she'll be a nice weekend driver though. Lots of C4's here in Michigan, especially on sunny days.

I see a few early C4's in Southwest Mississippi, but very few really nice ones. There's a two tone blue 85 in town that's been very well taken care of, and couple of red on red coupes that have lots of miles but still pack on lots of smiles.

About a month ago my daughter and I had the Vette our for a Saturday afternoon ride. We took exit 40 off I55, as we went off the interstate a guy in a black 84 or 85 on the Interstate and his son, about my daughter's age, were waving, horn blowing, apparently excited to see another early c4, it was very cool.

My '85 has seen 3,000 miles the past year, mostly on weekends. Looks like I'm pretty typical in that respect.
