Sad to see my car in those pictures, but glad to say I'm finishing up putting it back together and should be on the road this weekend.
A drunk made a left in front of me while I was doing 40mph. The vette held up pretty decent, tweaked the frame just a little. But at least I flipped her ion over.

I wouldn't lose to much sleep about all the wrecked C4s.
GM made close to 360,000 C4s. I would guess that there is still a very large amount on the road and being enjoyed.

I remember this little short, runt of a manager, (who drives a big jacked up dodge truck) saw that I was driving a C4 Vette.
He jokingly said to me one time, "your cars quick but I but id crush it" and started laughing, I had a vision--- picked his little $@%^$ and ^%&*the living %^%^*&* out of him!
But I Thought "that wouldnt be civilized I guess" and smile and walked away.

It looks like they use them for drive up ramps. Ouch
Looks like when parking spots are hard to come by a C4 is convenient.

Here's a pic I found years ago.
Caught my eye because it's the same color combo as mine.
What a shame......

OK. Now lets all check out the C1, C2, C3, C5, and C6 forums and see if they have anything like this posted on their sites.
