I love my Corvette. It brings me back to when I was a kid everytime I drive it or look at it. Better than reminessing over a picture. I sure do love my car!

I love my C4, too. I think we as Corvette enthusiasts tend to covet the generation we came up with.

I was 18 years old and a senior in high school when the C4 premiered in 1984. That's the Corvette I had to have then and I still love 'em now.

Did you ever notice that when you don't feel so great or you just had a rotten day, just sitting in your Vette will make you feel alot better.

I was hooked from the first time I saw the (new) C4 at Beardmore Chevrolet in 1983. Once I drove one, It was the Vette I HAD to own.

I graduated high school in 1985, and back then I loved the C2s and C3s. When the C4s came out, I wasn't too thrilled about the styling, but I was super impressed with the technology advancements. Now I have a 1984 Corvette, and I love it. It requires a fair amount of work and time to keep it happy, but I would hate to not have a Corvette, now that I have finally been able to buy one.

Looks like an Ocean Pacific shirt (OP)...

I remember a guy who allegedly "stole" a 84 vette when I was in high school. We were hanging out at the arcade and this guy came up in a new vette and was beatin the heck out of it - tire smoke, burnouts, etc!

I was impressed with this car - but thought it weird someone would be so harsh on a new car? He had stolen it from the dealership...when your 17 years old that was pretty cool too!

I like the cars I could afford in 1983-1985, and the cars I dreamed of someday owning.

I, I, I? Anyway - you guys and gals are great! Time travel is possible in a Corvette!

gotta agree guys..I love my vette, it seems you can have a bad day and come home fire her up and take her for a drive absolutely great.. I loved my 84 first time I saw it, and the more I drive the more I like itO. she is basically stock, and will probably stay that way..except for the rims, they gotta go..my next vette purchase..a 01-02 Z06..but will always be a C4 guy... OH!!!! i will keep my 84 though...
