Default New C4 owner

Hi everybody. I'm a new C4 owner, and found this site while bebopping around the interweb. so far as I've seen, this site is a wealth of knowledge and a great place to get some inspiration for some future upgrades on my ride. I've got an 86 coupe with the 4+3. Black on black. The car's in pretty decent shape for being almost 25 years old, and everything on her is factory with the exception of the radio, which I guess the previous owner didn't care for. It has a few hiccups, but I'm in the process of ironing them out whenever I get a moment from chasing my kids or bad guys around. I've owned a bunch of Camaros and Fire-Chickens in the past, but this is the first Corvette I've ever owned. The only time I ever got to ride in them growing up was test-driving them when they came into our dealership for repairs back in the 90's. I'm looking forward to meeting fellow owners and enthusiasts, and hearing what your experiences have been with these cars, and making some new friends too.
