Hey Mike thank you very much for that compliment. I feel the same way with what you said about everything blending in together as if it was all one piece. I love black cars even though it is a B to maintain, but thats the fun part for me. I think it looks like a more modern C4 which is what I wanted it to look. It is exactly how I wanted it. Thanks again.

Hey Larry,

Your car looks realy good to with the ground effects too. Larry recently installed a new motor in his vette. How many smiles, oh I mean miles have you put on your car with the new motor? Is the new motor better than Christmas? It would be for me. Enjoy.

Mike

uptown I was JOKING I like the effects on the cars, and yours looks good. I was teasing Mike as he has commented for a few years about mine and how he likes the look - I am sure at some point his ride will have the effects.

MIKE:
Have put 3000 miles on it Mike since it came out of storage. We did the 1000 mile round trip to Bowling Green museum and plant and LOTS of cruise nights and little trips. Our group did a nice trip down Route 66, and it was fun. The engine runs GREAT, and Midnight 85 who busted his azz on it for me, built one he11-a-va nice power plant!! When I need to get around someone passing for example ( ) it responds INSTANTLY to my foot. It runs like new or better now - I just hate the thought that I only have another month before it goes back into storage for the winter. Only good thing about that is that it keeps the mileage down for the year
Peace Mike

Larry

I like groung effects, gives the car a little personality. It would be boring if they all looked the same. Like the others said, I do think you need new wheels. Good luck and enjoy.

Defiinitely one of those instances where a "pair" beats a straight flush every time.

Ground effects on a C4 look like a dingleberry.


I do like the 01 Zr1 though. I learned how to drive watching the duke boys.
