..and a blood transfusion.

I replaced all four bulbs when I had mine apart - and sure enough, two weeks later one of them was out again. At least it was an inner one and not an outer one.

3) have to flip up your sunglasses to read the fading gauges.
4) reach out to pay a toll or take a ticket and step on the gas at the same time!
5) trying to get the rear shade closed to STAY IN PLACE!
6) dealing with people that DON'T have a C4!
7) finding out all the wrong things the former owner did to mickey mouse the car just to run!
8) finding acorns in the car from the last owner(s) cause car was just stored and not used!
9) watching and enjoying people trying to get in or out of your C4 and
10) having a GREAT forum to share all of this with other C$ owners
PEACE from the Northeast!
Actually had to buy the orange sunglasses to see the speed in the daytime. (1990)
