It's refreshing to see the excitement coming back to the C-4"s in the forum again. I purchased a 84 corvette new and worked my way through the years to a 95 ZR1 and finally a Zo6 but had to sell it due to my economic downturn and finally came full circle to a 1985 with a 4-3 manual because that is what I could afford, and I could not be without a vette. It is a great car. Any corvette is special to someone! Save the wave.

Preach on brutha......I've never been one to play the "one-up" game....and the older I get the less time I have for folks that do. As far as I'm concerned a Corvette is a Corvette.

I never played the game to begin with. Its too bad we have so many folks here that like to play that game. All my friends and family like my vette. Who else matters anyway. Definatly not a bunch of RUBS.

Good post and welcome to the Forum. The economy has changed life for many if not for most of us. We still go on and make adjustments in our life...because we have to.

You have a great attitude.
