Default Decided to get a second C4

Last week, we bought a 95 coupe. We're enjoying it so much that we decided to get another C4. We found another 95 coupe in very nice condition at a good price, so we're on our way to having two of these - one a 6 speed manual and the other automatic. We love the looks of them, and they're sure fun to drive.

There's only 1 thing better than 2 C4's, that is 3. LOL

That's only if you own a 95.

Two in a week... Man, you have the vette habit bad. Of course there are worse habits to develop.

Only 2 '95's in a week? C'mon, you can do better than that!

This thread needs some nice pictures of both when you pick it up! There's only 2 Vettes in our family (My C4 and my grandfathers C5) so far, we plan on restoring a C3 sometime in the future, and my grandfather is really liking the C7. So who knows. You can never have too many Corvettes!

Thanks, everyone. Yes, I'd say we've got it bad now. My husband owned a few C3s in the past, before we married. He recently started feeling the strong need to have one again, but we decided to go with C4. These are my first Vettes. After that first test drive, it was all over with for me. I think they are fun and fascinating machines, and I've been enjoying learning so much about them here on the forum over the past week. Much more to learn, but this place is a wealth of knowledge, it seems.

QCVette, what fantastic pics. Love it! I'll be getting some decent photo (hopefully) this week. The weather is supposed to be great later in the week, and we'll have picked up the second car by then.

I like c-4 's but one is enough. Got to have a variety. But how about another one? You can have mine.

Well, unfortunately, this second car fell through. Things happen. But, the right thing will come along at some point. I guess I've learned my lesson about speaking too soon, though. In the meantime, we still have the one in my avatar, and we're surely enjoying it. So, it's okay. Just feel a little foolish about posting before we actually had it in our garage.
