Considering the newest C4 is 16 years old and the oldest is fast approaching 30 ...what the hell are you expecting?
The fact is there are basket case C4s, garage queens, Daily drivers and a 500k mile example on this forum.
They aren't perfect by any stretch but they sure put a LOT of smiles on several of this forum's faces.

Yeah and judging by your idiotic logic, all of the other Gen help forums here are empty
But at least in C4 Gen, we don't worry about what sunglasses to wear.

Whut!!?? I was about to ask if I should color coordinate my sunglasses with my red Vette. I already have a C4 hat, wallet, and Jacket. Next summer I'm going to install my "C4" embroidered floor mats I have been saving all year to buy. I may have to start a thread I believe I will have trouble with the install. Oh, and I hate to hijack the thread but what wax is best and what tire dressing are you guys using?

Contact John. He did it wrong about three times and ended up with the cargo mat in the drivers side. Took a professional dealer employee to find out and to fix. John spent $1,000 on just the installation and he is not totally satisfied.

Thanks Pete I'm going to save more money and take it to the dealer. I don't want to end up with the drivers side on the wrong side or something. Why don't they label these things.. they didn't even come with instructions.

The right color of sunglass frames is dictated by much contemplation and therefore should not be taken lightly. I know for sure. I've been cruising some of the other areas of this forum and it's taken very seriously.
