New owner of a C4
It's been 5 years since I sold my C5 and I have missed owning a Corvette.
This weekend I bought my first C4 - a 1993 Anniversary Edition Coupe.
These C4s are a great value now and the perfect way to own an inexpensive Corvette with some of the more modern features. I previously owned a 1971 Convertible and that had more of a "classic" feel to it, but you definitely knew you were driving an antique. Even though this C4 is 21 years old, it doesn't feel like it and it still has a great "presence" on the road.
I like having the airbag, abs, modern electronics of the 1993 model. It's fun to drive and it is not a restoration project. I can drive it when I want and make a few upgrades when I have time. I'm looking forward to enjoying on weekend trips during the summer and fall season and it is great to be back behind the wheel of a Corvette.

Very sharp looking car (I love it when we don't have to ask for pics) How many miles on it? Options? etc etc. I see it's wearing Khumo tires, are they pretty new? The ruby's sure do look nice all waxed and detailed

We are so lucky to be here now when you can buy a damn nice Corvette for peanuts. Great looking car.

A few minor cosmetic issues, but the biggest is that the side of the driver seat is worn which sounds pretty common. I'm going to try to get that repaired by an upholstery shop since the rest of the seat is fine.
Other than that, the only real "upgrade" I may do is to replace the stock radio with a new Kenwood that has bluetooth capability.
I'm looking forward to taking it out with my wife this weekend to cruise some country roads and maybe head towards Harpers Ferry, WV.

71,000 miles and came with new tires. It includes the usual 40th Edition options and electronic climate control.
