Default C4 matching C8 side by side

Just thought I would share this photo I took of my C4 corvette next to a brand-spanking-new C8. Im 18, in high school and always loved corvettes. I remember the exact day I fell in love with corvettes down to the moment. It was a yellow C5 and as it rolled down the street everyone was pointing and looking and I immediately fell in love. I believe corvette has upgraded over the years in almost the "perfect" way and could not have been done better. When did you discover corvette? I'd be interested in hearing some of the "older boomers" stories.

guys stories.

I own a c4 and I just have the softest spot for a c5. I guess I'm kinda a **** owner, that way, kinda like a broad that you know would cheat on you later

Lady in town bought her yellow C5 vert new its her daily. Kinda chuckle when I hear guys whine about how hard is it to get in/out
There is a stereotype that goes along with these cars in a way its true. Never cared about what others think of my rides.
C4 is a great overall car. Does most things well, a 350 is basic, gets decent mpg and fun sitting kind of low.
