When did YOU know someday you would own a CORVETTE ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I’ve always been into cars, well at least as long as I can remember. Typical kid Lamborghini’s, Ferrari, etc. I guess it was 1988 or 1989 so I was in 1st or 2nd grade and I noticed a White car going by every day while we were at recess. That was the coolest looking car; it was a white C4 with white or chrome wheels. I waited to see that car almost every day there was another around that time or a little after it was a red I would guess 88 thru 90 vert with the hard top. I never dreamed I would actually own a Corvette but things fell into place and I picked up the first C4 a Black 1989 coupe with 19K miles on it when I was 16. I loved that car and had some really good times with it. Now it is almost 15 years later and I am on my 5th C4 and 1st ZR-1 we have been through 2 89’s, 2 96 GS’s, and now the Z (still have 1 89, 1 GS and the Z). I still can’t believe that I have been given the opportunity to take care of these cars and best of all we have made some great lasting friendships through this hobby.

And I guess I am stuck on the C4 I have looked and driven C5’s all types and power levels, C6’s of every type and I keep coming back to the C4 it's just something about this platform that I just really love.
