Via: Hemmings. Via: Corvsport. We made it to a car wash in a little town off the highway to wash it off before it dried. Daily driving a Corvette in Michigan had its own set of problems. Traction with the wide rear tires was always a problem and being a lazy high school kid i hated to shovel the driveway. I would throw it in reverse in my moms garage and barrel backwards down the driveway at full speed hoping to plow through the pile of snow that the snow plow had left at the edge of the driveway and pray to hit the street.
Sometimes it worked. The flip up headlights liked to freeze close which is probably why they have a switch to pop the headlights up with the car turned off and left over night I drove the car cross country from Michigan to Reno to Florida. I climbed mountains in snow storms outside of Salt Lake City when I thought there was no way it will make it I pushed the car in to the lot from the traffic light and traded it right then and there on a new Ford Mustang Cobra.
That little C4 was a hell of a car for a high school kid and I would not trade the memories for all the world. I still have a set of keys for her The kit comes with a lightweight and compact saw with 20V of power behind it, two 5. I do daily drive a C4 Corvette, two of them, in fact!
One is a ZR-1 in red and the other is a LT4 in black. They are very different animals. The ZR-1 is a heavy, deliberate, but precise instrument. Perhaps the most entertaining Corvette story I have is the most recent one, concerning the ZR I start the car and notice low voltage and a battery light. Hmmm, I say, maybe I left the lights on?
As we drive down the highway, my lights are getting dimmer. That assistance involves my father in his truck charging the battery for 45 minutes, us driving for 15, and then repeating the procedure two more times. All told, it took us three hours to make what should have been a 40 minute trip. In the rain. At night. It now has a new alternator. Took the liberty of replacing the factory oil cooler lines, which have a known tendency to leak.
I already have. Corvette guys? It was horrible and awesome at the same time to daily drive.
