Well, you can guess by my screen name that I have a 78, the year the fastback was resurected, it's not a hot car from the factory but i'm steadily making the changes.It began life as a lowly L48, automatic, A/C, aluminum wheels, and I feel the need to mention the factory AM-FM 8 track tape just to see how many of our members comment on it. I could'nt pass this car up based on the price even though it's not my favorite year, the car sat outside undriven for ten years prior to my purchace in 2003 and after only needing brake replacement I'v been driving it since. I tackle one area of the vehical at a time to restore/modify and keep the down time to a minimum in order to enjoy driving it.

I guess I'm not very original with my "name" either...

Our's is a 1990, Triple Black, convertible, C-4....

Any model Corvette is still #1..... they each have their following tho..

I happen to like the C4, but......

I just got a white 96 with light grey interior a little over a month ago with 88k miles. Still a senior in highschool so i haven't made any modifications yet, (as i'm doing good just to pay for it ) and it has it's few problems, but i wouldn't trade it for anything, and plan on keeping it as long as possible.

73 LS4 4 speed T-Top. I've had it since '84 and I am the second owner. I bought this Vette when I was the sound engineer for Motley Crue. I had been looking everywhere we did shows, in papers, auto traders... anything I could find. I would call them up and ask them to bring their cars down to where we were so I could see if it was what I was looking for. I usually had to give out some show passes to get them to do it... never found what I liked. I had a break, came home to Montana and found a 68 with a 327. I looked at it... passed, and told him I was really looking for a numbers matching 73 big block. He said his brother had just bought one at an estate sale in Canada 3 days before. I bought it the next day. The really odd thing is it is all original, highly optioned, and has a factory 4 bolt main block. It turns out that it was an end of production LS4, the factory ran out of blocks so they pulled LS4 blocks cast as 4 bolts for their race program. Kinda rare, really strange, and after looking all over the country... I found it accidentally in my own hometown.

great story. You never know what you might find in your own back yard.
When you did sound for the "Crew" was a band called AXE touring with them?

Late 84-87... only the tours, it worked out to about 4-5 months a year, did some with Poison during the down times. Mostly stadiums and arenas, some clubs in LA. Hell... if it wasn't for the pass collection and the old resume, and VH1's "Where are they now' show... I wouldn't remember half or them! As for openers... that is a total blur. I came in halfway through the 84 tour when we opened for Ozzy, Theatre tour had Y&T, GGG tour in 87 had Whitesnake. Alot of shows had another warm up...I was usually smokin in the boys room... young and impressionable. Here's one for you that I do remember. 1991, some Naval base in Florida, the sound company I worked for picked up a Barbara Mandrell tour. I got stuck on it... and the opener for the day was Run DMC. Almost as strange as Hendrix opening for the Monkees...
