Believe it or not, even with having one leg that doesn't bend, I can get
in & out of a C2 or C3 with little or no problem. C4s? No way. I
haven't tried C5 & C6 yet (or C1 for that matter)... BTW, I just turned
50...ouch.

Shut up, Dave.

Same here, the C4 is an awkward car to get in and out of, plus I never liked
it's flimsy frame. My C3 has no tilt steering wheel so it's a tight squeeze
but still allot more accessible than the C4. Just got back from filling it
up to go to a show this weekend and love that 4 barrel (rebuilt for $52)
when it opens up. Plus I need to get used to using a clutch again. Build
order hasn't been confirmed yet for the C6. Bet I get to break it in diving
in the snow like the '98, but then any time is a good time to drive a
Corvette.
