Tim from Ohio
I have a 1986 Corvette. 78k miles. I am about to retire so i'm going to have a lot of free time to start some upgrades and restoration. Looking forward to learning from other Corvette owners.

Welcome to the forum, Tim, and congratulations on your C4!
I think you'll really enjoy your '86. We used one as a daily driver for years with only minimal repairs needed!
Enjoy your retirement.
Cheers, Larry
