Random Thought
Ten Years With The Vette.
I thought this would be a good name for a post we see regularly.
Was thinking myself what's important to you after having your car for ten years.
After having the car a while how did you change.
Part Two.
A Corvette is a different car in my opinion. With a Corvette it's more about performance than other cars.
Having an older car means you worry about keeping it on the road. I still love my 84 and think it's the best car I ever drove.

The original stereo is very important to me now. Having a good driver's seat is a must. The steering wheel and carpet, exhaust, tires, wheels, windows, paint and interior should all be top notch. That's what every Corvette owner wants. I'm considering a permanent A.I.R. delete now since I have been running without one for 3000 miles, I had a failure on a trip and have got tired of replacing them. I have not been able to get a rear window defroster relay. I would not like to have to replace the entire heater control assembly.
It has gotten a lot better I think because I have been driving it but the things that were in good shape when I bought it are wearing out now like the paint and seats, floor mats, and things that wear out on every car. I think I'm going to keep driving it. I love the motor, the brakes and handling. I'm looking at steering wheels. I would like to drive it for another hundred thousand miles!
What do you think about your car?

Going on a decade with my 90 with absolutely no end in sight

Have had my '94 for 15 years, and have no plans to part with it. Every time I drive it, I wonder why I don't do it more often. Simply stated, it's just a fantastic car.

Live well,

My '90 ZR-1 is our third C4. We've owned it for 7 years (I think). My wife tells me all the time that she hopes we never get rid of it. Like any 30 year old car, there are some issues. But, I really like my ZR-1 and will continue to fix, mod, and drive it for a long time.

Part 1. I've realized that the experience that a car provides is way more important than the numbers that it can produce. C4 is a good experience.
Part 2. I feel it's about the perception of performance. I wish my C4 had MORE of it.
3. I'm sure that I'll drive mine another 100k. It's got ~190k now.
4. What do I think? I think that the C4 totally exceeded my expectations. Coming from a C6, I drove a C4....liked it better so I sold the C6. I wasn't expecting that. Once committed to the C4, I expected lots of fit and finish issues, repairs and problems. I expect worse gas mileage. I experience neither. 10 years and the car has been very, very reliable, solid and a great car in every way. It's totally exceeded my expectations.

Had an 85 for 17 years; 2001-2018; modified it, improved it........had a ball for those 18 years. Like any older car it had pluses and negatives. I don't regret the time and money I spent with it at all. Was a great learning experience!

Having said that, was ready to move on. Like mentioned in OP, seasons change and so have I.
