    Name the C4 Vettes (C3's,C2'sC1's have names)

    Looking to buy my 1st

    Pete, Drive both cars first to see what you like better. The C4 has the fighter jet feel to it both driving and sitting in it. The C5 feels more civilized as a boulevard cruiser. I love my 88 all around..especially climbing in it..It feels as though you wear the car!!! Try both and see what...

    Coupe Water After Washing

    Make sure you use an electric leaf blower. The gas ones can blow out a gas/oil mixture sometimes....now that would wreck your clean car!!!

    Prices at Carlisle

    Barry, I was almost laughing at some of the numbers they were asking for. I think those cars were located down in the car corral area with those big cards in the windshield with prices. To say that they all needed work was an understatement....The old saying goes...There is an ass for every...

    Tommy, I always say this. You are buying a Vette for what it is. Everyone is obviously looking for the best deal. Its not always the best deal. Its the best car that you want to own.
