Default Wow, I Really Miss My C4!

Maybe it's just a phase that will pass, but lately I have been missing my C4. I sold my 90 Vert about three months ago and bought a 99 Camaro SS. Yes, the SS is one fast beast, looks awsome (mines red) and gets great gas mileage, but the Corvette just had the X factor. I mean the Vette was older, had more miles on it, slower, but for some reason I miss her. Anyone have any regrets? Oh well, what can you do? Here's a pic....

We just also picked up a 94 Camaro that will eventually be my Son's first car. Needs alot of work that he and I are doing to it. It is a awesome ride......but its not a vette. If I sold both of the ones that I have, I would have to get another one soon. Don't think I could be "vetteless" for very long!

Remember, no matter what you do to a Camaro, it will never be a Corvette.

I had a hugger orange '99 Camaro SS. It was a great car. I definitely missed it when I sold it.

I have never experienced seller's remorse with a Corvette because I haven't sold one yet. However, that is changing soon. A guy is coming to buy my C4 on Sunday. I know I will miss it as soon as it is gone....especially with all of the good "top down" weather over the next couple of months. It was a necessary evil, though. I'm planning on getting a C6 convertible soon and don't have room in the garage for three Corvettes.

A C6 looks like a squashed camaro.

When I was looking at cars I checked out my friend's '87 IROC with the 350. It was fast, but didnt handle like my vette does. Whenever I hear stories like this, just makes me want to keep mine even more.

I think it is that feeling of intimacy with all things nice when one gets into those cozy accommodations.

Dude, that is WAY overpriced. I will sell you mine with only 85,000 for only $13,500. See my thread in for sale!

I sold my super low mileage white 96 back in '04 to finance a real estate investment. It was a painful couple years driving my '02 Grand Prix around, but after the investment paid off, I grabbed up an '01 Z06, and have since sold it because my original passion for hte C4 just wasn't being met. I got my low mileage '94 and will hopefully be stowing my false teeth in the console when I'm slippin it to the ladies at Shady Oaks retirement home.

Yeah, I understand it's a little high. Keep in mind, I'm located in Canada. Just to clearify it's 114,000km's not miles. Beautiful car by the way, aquablue96!!!
