Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Just saw this on a site.  If mama says corvettes are not family cars then show her this.  Not recommending it kind of ugly but it is red.  Kind of looks like a Vet was slumming and found a Vega that wanted to play.   Approve Some people kids!!

Interesting what can be  done.  A friend of mine saw a four door C4 when he was on vacation.

Yea
I owned a Vega once and some times Thoroughbreds (corvettes) go slumming. 

By the way after I bored out and put steel sleeves in the Vega along with a couple of other items for improvements, it did real good on the road.  It surprised a number of people that thought they could play. 

My ex wife loved it so she got it in the settlement and I got the Renault.

The Nomad is pretty cool...  I had a 62 Pontiac Safari Wagon for 5 years!  It's 389 could smoke up that
one rear tire great!  2 tons of good American Steel!

The Nomad style I can handle better than the 4 doors, they're just hideous!
