New Owner #1581 White/Red - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Torchred96 · 07-28-2011

Hello folks.. I just wanted to say hello and say that I have enjoyed lurking for some time and finally got the courage to make my first post.

All the cards seemed to fall into place for me to buy this car: it was close to my house so i was able to go see it before bidding (ebay), my bank financed it (huge), it was in very good condition for its age (fixers uppers aren't always the deal they seem to be), and oh yeah, it sold for $8900 (too good to be true, but too good to pass up..so I bid and won).

It's not close to perfect, but I look forward to making her proud again with your help.

Well, I have to eat some crow..first, I said I would never own another manual trans car, but I confess, I'm starting to like it..a lot..and second, I was never crazy about the 91 interior..and well, it too is growing on me..I do wish it had a pass airbag however. Overall, I couldn't be happier. So, crow eaten

Here's a link until I fiigure out how to post directly.

good to have you here sam. I love white c4's and zr-1's even more. pull up a chair and enjoy the permagrin.

As for the no PS airbag, i don't see that as a big deal. we lived for years having no airbags then only ds airbags, and I've taken the Morgan cars approach to driving with or without airbags, don't crash

Since it is not close to perfect, what does it need? sort of sounds like my 90 when I bought it in 2007

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
