Test drove an 86 corvett, and an 86 carrera back to back this morning.
This time of year, all of the cool cars start to come out of the woodwork for service, which is always welcomed by me after a long winter of fixing pickup trucks, and suv's. Anyhow finished up a bunch of maintenance work on the Vette yesterday,and had to test drive it first thing this morning . The next job was the carrera with brake issues so I took it for a quick spin around the block to verfy the complaint.
Man what a difference. I used to be into Corvette's before the Porsche bug bit me. It was fun to compare two top dog sports cars from the same era. I'll be keeping my Porsche , thank you!

When I just turned 18 a friend of mine took me for a spin a then new Carrera 86. I knew that one day...I needed two C4's before realizing that I really wanted an 86.
