I posted this on the other 'vette forum, but I'm putting it here too because it's funny and we could all use a little levity.

Another reason why I bought my ZR now in my mid 40s

Ha ha! I am guessing we might have some C4 Z owners have to do similar to get in and out of our cars.

I bought mine from a guy in his 80's who could no longer get in and out of it.

Altogether too close to home. And despite the caption, it is a Lamborghini Aventador.--Bob

I went to an all Corvette show this weekend. Thought I had the only Z in my area, but another Polo green Z showed up! I went down to introduce myself and we both thought it was funny to have 2 Polo green Zs at the same show....Being as many weren't produced in that color. ANYWHO, I notice the couple was older, in their 70s maybe?? And their Z had been lowered, making it even more of a chore to get in and out of the car. I watched them get into the car as we were leaving........It must of taken him a minute to get into that car, no lie! He told me he will never ever sell the Z, but after watching them, it won't be long before they wont be able to get into the car. But then again I have seen younger people than me ( I'm 46 ) struggle to get in lol.....

Getting in is EZ, you've got gravity to help. 😀
It's getting out that's troublesome.... 🤪

I did this myself twice in C4s - once in 84 due to bad back and in 91Z in 96 after a wreck. Not a preferred way to exit but...
