Congrats on your 95'! Ya did good for a young man, with the focus on color and options and finally, scoring the right car. You don't see many in that color, so it's a stand-out C4 already! You'll find plenty of online help when the mechanical issues beset you (and they will!). A lot of good advice here. If you're going to work on it, get the Factory Service Manual or FSM. It's a red 2 volume set and is a must have for these cars. Finally, don't worry about the car becoming boring or that you'll get bored with it; you won't!

An DO work on it yourself. Cheaper (by far) than farming it out, you get to know your car intimately, and you get the satisfaction of keeping it on the road yourself.

Thank you all for the welcome, wow it's been a long journey. I'm still not used to seeing a Aqua blue c4 in my driveway. I never want to drive her in the rain, the picture was taken the day I had scheduled to pick her up, It was a two and a half hour drive and downpoured the whole way there. Luckily on the way home it dried up. Thanks again for the welcome! I think I will stick to this forum.

I got to say your new Corvette look very sharp. Is it stock? Modifications for the future? How much did you pay?
Congratulations on your buy.

Thanks, everything on my Corvette is stock except for the rear mufflers which have been straight piped. It sounds amazing so I plan on leaving it like this. I noticed my Corvette is missing a couple things: the engine sticker on the center console, tire psi sticker on the door sill, fuel button on dash and the trim piece on the back of the seats for folding them.

never came with the console sticker check MidAmericaMotorworks they sell them if you like.
Good move, the LTx cars have their unique intricasies and there are some real experts here on them that can solve every problem you stumble across. Look at it as free diagnostics.
I think I will stick to this forum.

The headrest release lever trim piece was busted on mine as well, you can get a one from Mid-America motorsports for $10 or so...the rest of it, I'd hit up a corvette junkyard for little bits and pieces.
