You know you're a C4 owner when....
The C6 guys have one of these, we should too!
I'll start, you know you're a C4 owner when:
1. Your air dam wakes the neighbors as you leave your driveway for a midnight cruise.
2. You show off your pop-up lights to people with boring,stationary headlights.
3. You stock up on OEM Optisparks and water pumps.

4. When you get into your other car you find yourself swinging the leg over a non existent frame rail.
5. You hear something rattling in the car, and at the next red light immediately begin inspecting the non existent targa bolts while in the other car.
6. You find yourself wondering why in the hell the climate control isn't working, and then realize you are infact in the other car which has manual controlled heat and air.
7. You find yourself swearing at how sluggish the car steers when not in your C4.
8. You wonder why you didn't hear your other car's flip ups activate... and then remember it has boring fixed head lights.

when it takes longer to replace the intake manifold gaskets on a L-98 TPI than it does to replace the pistons on an LS3, lol.
when all your co-workers shake their head after they learn you just bought a C-4 and call you a dumb *ss
when you call to 8 different part stores trying to track down the last VSS sensor left on Earth

...when you call your interior the cockpit
...when you pretend the center console hatch release button is actually the eject button for your passenger (maybe I'm the only one...)
...when you actually drive your Corvette instead of let it sit in the garage all year!
...when new V6 family sedans try to race you
Great thread, keep 'em coming!

Then there was the time I took it to a Chevy dealer for an oil change (didn't have a place to do it myself) and the service writer said, "Please tell me it's not an electrical problem."

.....when your car has 300hp and is only worth $5000
..... when you are glad your engine is only operating at 220°.
.....when the gas station attendant can't find the gas cap(here in jersey we don't pump our own gas but I still have to get out of the car because of this).
.....when your father buys a new challenger and still comes out to look at your 19 old car every time you pull up.
..... when you have to look everywhere for the hat with the right c4 symbol on it, can't be red on the right side or gray....
