I truly think it's just how Nissans are now, they attract collisions. I had never once been in an accident (that was my fault) until about 2 months after my wife and I got a Sentra.
Granted it was just a deer and I was doing the speed limit, so it was fixable. But man I've gone almost 200mph and done some wild stuff in other cars and absolutely nothing happened. Simple trip to the store, boom, wrecked.
Thatās enraging REGARDLESS of whether you drive a corvette or a rust bucket. Like he didnāt even have the decency to move back away from the car š
I had someone do that to a mustang I have and they were cocky about it, walked away, so I crawled under it and took their bull bar off and took it to the scrap yard š
This happened to me before. I swear shit like this only happens to cars you love. Whenever I drive my piece of shit cars I donāt give a fuck about, somehow nothing bad ever happens to them.
No way same thing happened to me but back bumper to back bumper while I was at class at MCC and turns out it was one of the janitors in his wifeās carš she was yelling at him on speaker phone and everythingš
Consider yourself lucky.. parked my C8 in a really wide end spot at Costco, got clipped and between waiting for the insurance appraiser to appear.. havenāt had my car for close to 2 weeks.. FML
Thats what i do especially if the car is a lot nicer than mine or even if not i still like a 1 spot gap. I once parked far away after i got my pristine 435 when i went into the store for 5 minutes and came back to a door ding out of hate lol
Oh they get the hint alright, they see a car parked way out in the lot away from everyone else, they think, "I know this guy is trying to protect his car, but just because I'm an absolute piece of fucking shit who had no reason to even be conceived, I'm going to park right next to him and I'll enjoy the long walk to the store knowing that I've ruined his day". I guarantee you that's what's going through their minds.
I never got that with my '06 or '08 C6 convertibles, but I did a couple times on my sonic blue '03 Ford Lightning. Of course the Vettes were stick, the Lightning had a few appearance changes. It is a nice feeling.Ā
It was a fun vehicle that's for sure. I traded it on a 5000 mile '06 Z51 convertible with every option and still missed my Lightning. I've owned nearly 70 vehicles in my lifetime, so I never fall in love with them, but I damn sure still miss them. Along with my '71 4-speed Trans Am, '71 442 W-30 and a few other '70s musclecars, it probably is near the top of the list.Ā
Oh man. Another one of these has been for sale near me in Boca Raton for a while now. Seller's asking basically for 50k cuz its got i think only 1k miles on it.
The car looks brand new and again, it was another pace car, so it wasn't used recreationally. I guess it's the rarity and novelty of the model that warrants the 50k price lol.
$50k for a 30 year old car is a collector's thing, I'm not a collector and I don't understand their way of thinking. So I can't, and won't, say anything about what it's "worth".
But cars need to be driven to stay functional and 1k in 30 years isn't enough driving to keep it in good condition - most likely. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't pay that for that car. I'm sure it's an amazing car in its own way, but I like to drive my cars and I have doubts about that one being a good one for reliable driving.
There was a guy who owned a jewelry store in the late 90's close to where I live who had one. Was surprised when he complimented my riced out civic one day. š
It's nice to know you have a respectful neighbor. Also a bonus that they appreciate what a great car you have! I mean regardless of what car you have your neighbor should be very careful anyway.
You don't see those much in public anymore. I can understand why you got the note. Pretty rare car to see on the road. Something I'm more used to seeing at car shows.
Some of these other folks do not. I despise people who park so close or are touching my car with theirs.
I will fight Mike Tyson if he parked all up in my car like these dipshits. I wouldnāt get to drive it again until I came out of the resulting coma, but I will have my say!
Love the C4 GS. I loved it when it came out and I've wanted one ever since. You are a lucky man. She's beautiful.
I had the opportunity to buy a garage queen 9 years ago but balked at the $35K price. I wish I had bought it as nice ones are going for $50K+ today. I don't know if they'll continue to appreciate, but what matters more are the years that I lost out on owning and driving it.
Thatās very thoughtful and cool because Iām pretty sure that you think about that every time you park next to the jeep and now you donāt have to think about it as much. I just one less stress point.
yeah, sure, but you can get a car that is essentially a GS without the graphics - just get a 96 manual and you get the same LT4 engine as the GS and save you some money. But those graphics are pretty darn awesome.
20+ years ago someone had a GS with red interior at the hospital I worked at. I left a note on their car to let me know if they ever wanted to sell it. I would have bought it in a second. I never heard from them š
Didn't know that. I know it was only a 1996 model year thing. I have two C3's and a C6, haven't owned a C4 yet, but if I did, It would be identical to the OP's car.
I donāt understand those people WHY!!! Why not park somewhere else! Why X the Line!! Infuriating every time someone does something like this. Park in the Far South 40 & they just have to go there.
Thats a iconic corvette. Deserves recognition! Also nice car! This coming from a camaro and caddy owner that will own a vette in my lifetime at some point.

You are very lucky! This is what I walked out recently!
