- When you have rebuilt more headlight motors than you have recharged air filters

I'm at 3 rebuilds in the 2 years I have owned the car so far

...when you have to lift up the steering wheel to get in and out of the car

...when C6 drivers don't wave to you

...when you bought your Corvette for under $5000

- When you have the most beautiful Corvette engine ever installed.
- When you know you can balance a nickel on the intake manifold end up with the engine running
- When your RPMs still have a 1000 or so to go after an LS motor runs out of breath
- When you know that even though the C6 ZR1 next to you is faster than you, he won't stay with you in a 24 hour enduro without blowing up first
- When opening up the clamshell draws a significant crowd at car shows

When you drop into 6th and watch the tachometer drops to almost nothing as you drive 70mph all day.

As you fall into and climb out of your C4 each time.

When you cut the wheel she turns on the dime.

When the paint looks wet even when it aint!

When the Chevy Parts counter guys start shouting in concert as you walk through the door;
"The warehouse doesn't stock that part anymore!!"

When you have to drive mom's car when giving her a ride because she can't get in and out of the Vette.

When you spend more on it than it's worth because she's such a bad a** looking car.

She's like my ex wife when we first met; I spend all my time and money on her and I'll likely blow a rod before the rides over. But, the thrill didn't wear off with my 88

When you look at the C5 or C6 and think, "why waste the money?"

you're doing the 3K oil change and it's considered a Vatican verified miracle that nothing broke since the last one.

You send flowers when you hear a fellow c4 owner has a bad heater core.
