Investment?
Bah!
Never heard of the word. Don't know what it means. Don't particularly
care either.
Heck.
I'll be 45 this year and it's high time for mid-life crisis. Both my
sons are married off and gone (for now anyway...) a mistress is out of
the question (already have the worlds greatest wife, better than I
deserve), drugs and alcohol no longer have the appeal they once had (nor
the social acceptance anymore) and all the good tasting food is bad for
your health.

She's a one owner (I'll be #2) Roman Red with beige interior, 6 speed,
all the goodies. Less than 5k miles on her.

You'll recognize me, I'm that middle aged geek with the big smile on his
face.
(until I have to pay for the insurance that is)...

Forget it, get a C5, at the very least go test drive one. My guess is that
you will have the C4. Let me know how much it shakes with the structural
roof panel removed. Paint code 81 was called Bright Red. Take a look at this
site, lots of information. http://www.rogerscorvette.com/specs/90.htm Enjoy
it until you ride in a C5 :-]] My '92 was red in and out and shook like a
dog ****'in razor blades. At least it saved me from every taking the roof
off again.
