My first Corvette
Hi everyone! On Monday, January 21, 2019, at 545 am I jumped on a plane with a one way ticket from Minneapolis, MN to Denver, CO. I took a 42 mile Lyft ride to Littleton CO to see a white, 1994 Corvette Coupe, 6 speed. 47k mile, 3 owner Colorado car. I put a hold on the car a few days prior. The coupe was very clean and the price was good. I bought it, and drove it nearly 1000 miles home to MN. I had a scary moment in southern MN where I went sideways on ice approaching some stuck vehicles in the median. No harm done. I got home and got stuck in the driveway leading to my shop. Fresh snow covering ice. I enjoyed the experience very much and the car ran great (24-26 mpg). I look forward to spring and more adventures. Corvette forum was a great help in researching the C4 generation.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Sweet lookin car. I know you're Excited, it was a Long time ago when I got my first Corvette but I still fill that Excitement Every time I get a different one.
P.S. don't let the C4 haters get to you, C4's are great cars, I've had many and still have a couple, 1984 driver and a 95 ZR-1.
Good Luck and be sure to DRIVE it every chance you get.
