Default lets also thank the experts here that answer the threads!

We have experts on this forum that also need to be thanked for 2017!
Can't say enough for part #s from Joe, and Dukes research, Johns knowledge, and my friend Larry M who has shared.
Saved us all time and $$. You know who they are, I just mentioned a few
of the great guys that have the right answers for ALL the problems a corvette could possibly have. Guys that we never met.

I'll start off by thanking Larry Mulder, (POWERSHIFT) for his help when I needed info on my vin & trim tag, not to mention all the others that helped me through my restoration.
You would have to pay a bunch for the help we get.

Over the years JohnZ, SWCDuke, MikeM and other have taught me a thing or two from the countless years playing with these cars.

Absolutely, thanks to all of you! I am amazed at the knowledge, and beautiful cars (and garages). I'm still finding my way around, but it is awesome how everyone is willing to share their knowledge and experience.


Happy Holidays!

Too many to thank and I certainly would forget someone important if I tried. I used to be one of the go to guys but my memory fails now and I am thankful for all of those that have a better memory and more knowledge than I ever had.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or what ever applies and Happy New Years to all!!!

A bunch of great guys with decades of irreplaceable knowledge. IMHO, we all benefit from each other...and that's just the way car guys are. Thanks to ALL who participate and in a positive fashion. Merry Christmas to All.

I've often thought how amazing it is to have so much practical wisdom just a few clicks away!

It's true. I often think about how we'd keep these cars on the road without the library of information here.

Cheers!

I get a kick out of the n00bs answering questions by looking up stuff on the internet. There is more knowledge in the brains of the guys on here that in all the stuff on the web. I find so many mistakes on "on line" stats it's laughable.
Cheers to all the Vette heads that don't mind answering the same questions over and over......nice to pass that knowledge to the next generation of addicts!

Oh....And MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

The honest truth is that if it weren’t for you folks on this forum, I wouldn’t be able to own my car. I can’t name names because the list would be too long. I learn something useful nearly every day from someone.

I do want to mention one person. This time last year, JohnZ was in a bad way and we were all very concerned for him. John made a miraculous recovery and I know we are all grateful to have him back with us. The power of prayer is amazing.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

You've got me in some rarefied company.

I'm grateful to a ton of folks, most already mentioned -- but, some who sadly don't post here anymore (or very seldom) for various reasons...Hitch, 62Jeff, rich5962 and a dozen others the 'older' participants here will remember...

Luckily, I know these folks a bit and can reach out for help outside the forum as needed. Finally, being a short drive from Mike Coletta has gotten me out of more bad mojo than I care to recount!

Steve, you hit the nail on the head! I totally 2nd your comment about John ... it is a true miracle to have him back home and with us again. That was too close for comfort! When I think back over 2017, John is our Christmas miracle this year IMHO. Merry Christmas to all. Cheers, Bill
