Welcome. My C4 was also destined for college but the boy couldnt drive the 4 speed. Shame cause his dad spent megabux on my car. Dam the bad luck!

Enjoy your new car!

Welcome. Enjoy being hooked. When everything else is going bad, just sit behind the wheel and drive. Works everytime.

You can host them on photobucket and then copy the IMG link from there and post it in your thread.

Or you can email them to me kresge1975@yahoo.com and I'll put them on my photobucket and post them for you.


Congrats on the C4 !!

Congrats!
Welcome to the wonderful world of smashed fingertips, banged up shins and a wonderful addiction that there is no replacing.

What are you going to college for? Just about everyone loves these cars and I'm sure some of the motor heads out there wouldn't mind helping you out for a case of beer.
Well, everyone loves the Corvette except for Jeremy Clarkson. He shot at one with a Gatling gun from a helicopter in the 90's while wearing disco style tight jeans. He fell head over heels for the new ZR1.

Good luck!

I saw your picture. I clicked the 1995 vette to the left of your quote. The pic maybe in your photo/album on User cp section. Looks super clean. Good luck

Congratulations on the car, I have pretty much the same car but a 93. I really like the color and the 6 speed!
