A childhood dream come true....
Well, my wife and I just took delivery of our '87 red convertible the other week, a culmination of a lifelong dream!! I have wanted one of these cars so bad all my life, and now the kids have left the nest, we decided to just go for it!!!
Much to my surprise, I have found that this car is MUCH better than I ever dreamed it would be!! A fantastic combination of technical engineering, power, handling and of course stunning good looks!!!! We are fully in love with this car. The intention is to slowly restore it to near mint condition and we have a great platform that doesn't need much to do this from. Thank you Chevrolet!!! :) So, anyways, hello fellow 'Vette fanatics!! And many thanks to Chevrolet for having the foresight and vision to create and build such world-class and fantastic cars. |

Nice vette, do you live somewhere warm so that you can drive it year round? I hate the thought of having to put my vette in the garage for 5 months because colorado sucks!!!

So, I take it you will be storing your car later this fall? What kind of preparations do you do for storage? I have stored cars before, somewhat, and find that if you do your preparations properly there's usually not really any big problems. I sure hope your 'Vette will be OK for you!! |

What's the best thing about owning a Vette?
G, FORCE the answer out of me! Ever seen a bullit, that can turn corners? Ever put on a comfortable slipper that will take you 500 mi., and your feet don't get sore? When's the last time the girls waved at you when you went by, in your Radio Flyer? Heck, I dunno, that's a tough question to answer. Let me know if you come up with one! |

How 'bout how the car looks like it's doin' 300mph just standin' there all parked-like? How 'bout it makes my heart flutter every time I see it? These babies have transcended the ol' "it's a car" adage, and have well moved into the realm of the magical and mystical, in my books. |

[sm=hail.gif] I was chattin' with the dude who owns the speed shop next door for a few minutes last night.. he loves 'Vette's too... wants to dump his V-10 full ton Ford truck and get hisself a 'Vette... anyways, yeh, we were talkin' about just this, and we both agreed that when it comes to Corvette, the concept of normal feelings, emotions and sensations gets the proverbial toss outta the window and you've entered into a completely magical realm.... Something very special, indeed!! *hi5's JefeC5* |

RE: A childhood dream come true....
ORIGINAL: TealC4 Nice car TopSpeed!!! I just realized a childhood dream myself although it was much earlier than I expected. I just bought my first Corvette yesterday. It's a 1985. I got it extremely cheap. I am only 19 years old and I have dreamed about owning a C4 since I was 5 years old. The Corvette is only my second car. My first was a 1992 mustang gt which I am currently driving. It's an awsome car but I never had the same feeling about it as I had for the Corvette. I just can't wait to drive the corvette when school starts !!! :D |
