Default A little C4 Fun

You know you're a C4 driver when.....

1. You live in mortal fear of Wal-Mart bags on the road.
2. People in 5 year old Hyundais that are worth more than your car stop and tell you "must be nice to able to afford a Corvette".
3. You find yourself flogging your L98 to keep up with your wife in the minivan as you follow her to work.
4. You needed 15 stitches on your arm after changing a tail light bulb on your 87.
5. You check and recheck the targa bolts 12 times so you won't join the FRC (Flying Roof Club)
6. You take out a second mortgage on your house for weatherstripping.
7. You are more worried about Optispark failure than your cholesterol.
8. You snub C5 owners in traffic secretly hoping they'll initiate "the wave"
9. You've had a recent nightmare involving heater core failure.
10. You're a C4Gen refugee, and suddenly find yourself addicted to "The Barn"

11. You convince yourself that your car is tight and free of rattles and squeaks by turning up the radio.
12. You can no longer walk upright from getting in and out of your C4.
13. You come to accept the fact that your car was designed from a door stop.
14. You find out that wheels CAN be put on backwards.

15. You've invested $12,000 in a car that you paid $7,000 for and will be worth $6,000 by next year.

23. Even though hundreds of C4 owners already installed a 160 thermostats a noob C4 owner would ask again to re-affirm its potential.
