Default Head On And Still Here

-]Just wanted to share some pictures of my C4..I bought this car in 1985 new and had it till 1992 when ON MY WAY TO WORK I got rear ended and thrown to another car on the otherside head on!!.I was lucky to get out of that with just a few minor injuries..Every one I knew kept telling me not to buy another vett after seeing what the car looked like ..but I just couldn't see myself in another car, I had to get another vett so I bought My 1980 coupe.. Beautiful car with only 10,000 miles and had that till 1999 when after seeing the knew C5 in 1997 just fell in love with the body style.. I couldn't pull the trigger and sell my 80 till 1999 when my friends at corvette center call me an told me they had a HOT 1999 Vert that I had to see.. I went down there and fell in love quick, so I sold my 1980 with only 19,000 miles on it.I love the C3 AND THE C4 but this C5 is a hole diffrent car!!

Just goes to show you how safe they make these cars. Nice that you didn't give up on Corvettes after that accident.
