Default RE-intro

Hello Folks,
I'm a former avid member of the C5 forum, but I had to trade my Z for a vehicle that I could transport grand babies in. So, I have a '12 Challenger SRT8 which I like very much. The good news is my wife and I might be building a 2 car garage very soon, and it will have a lift allowing a third car, which has to be a Corvette. I'm on the fence about which generation to get, especially since I know my $$$ will be limited. I know a C2 is out of the question, but I'm flexible about a C3-C6. I'm thinking I might have to get a high mileage car, but from what I've learned that is not too much of a problem especially since it will not be a DD like the last one.
I have not driven a C3, C4 or C6, so any advice about the characteristics of them will be appreciated. Oh, and I PREFER a stick, and must have a/c. (yes, I'm a brat)
Great to be back here!
Chas

Glad to hear you haven't forgotten about Corvettes!


Hope you find the right car, but I would like to suggest an Ontario Orange 1972!

Here is mine. I love it!

How did you know I've entered my "Orange Period"!? I love your car, If I had the dough I'd be looking for an Inferno Orange GS.!
