Moving on
Well my wife & I decided that 5 cars were too much, so last Saturday we sold her 2003 Mustang convertible & Tuesday I sold my 1990 Triple Black Vert.(delivered it today), 1 to go a 1957 Chevy Sedan with 38,000 original miles ( see Massachusetts Southcoast 1957 Chevy). When I told my wife that I was going to sell the Vette & the 57, she said 'you might as well sell the Mustang' then we can get an even newer Vette. So here we are 2 out of 3 gone, we will probably move up to a C6
. I had my 1990 for 4 years, 5 summers, and I really enjoyed it, it was a nice first Vette for me and even though I'm not a mechanic whenever I posted a question I always got back good responses. Thanks to everyone, and who knows maybe someday I'll be back in a C4. I know that I can't keep away from the C4 forum, I will check in time to time. Thanks everyone

Deja Vu!
East coast, West doesn't seem to be much different.
This is my story.
We had 5 cars. We had a triple black 92 Roadster. We're in an area that's not conducive to year round convertible driving and the other cars a Mercedes SL with a collapsible hardtop. It really pained me to let the C4 go but it went to a retired mechanic. I also let go a TT JZX that I put almost 2yrs in time.
I sincerely liked the C4. A few years prior we had a triple black C5 6 spd so chances are we may even sell our Mercedes but I don't see myself in a C6. My brother in law has one and I don't like the interior or ride quality for the prices decent ones in our area are going for
I wish you well and who knows where we can wind up a year from now. Maybe back here again

I am sorry both of you had to sell some of your cars. I have a 1990 also it has been a pain in the butt to keep it running right the last two years. I am getting it back Thursday and it is still not running right, but eventually I will have it running right.

Thanks, but I did not have to sell my cars, my wife and I just wanted to downsize. My 1990 was running & looking great, that's why I ended up selling it to the first person who came to see it. It sold in 1 week, I think that's good for a C4, there are ALOT of them for sale up here. We didn't need 5 cars. Oh by the way I wave to ALL Corvettes
Oh by the way I wave to ALL CorvettesPP I meant to say both you and Hary Gahtoe had sold your cars not had to sell. I did understand you wanted to downsize.
Where you able to keep them at your home or did you rent garage spots elsewhere and how did you keep track of maintenance? I want to add another car myself that’s why I ask.
