New to the insanity
I am in the process of purchasing a 1975 corvette from from a buddy of mine who needs the garage space to house his new RV. It needs some TLC and some bits and peices here and there, but I have always wanted a C3 corvette and now I have the opportunity to own one. I have been doing some reading of the posts here for a few days, and I have notcied that there is a wealth of information here, so I combine that with a wealth of cash to get this car where I want it to be, and I can have a C3 worth having. Glad to be here!

re: insanity
If spending time and money on something you love is insanity, yup I'm right there with you! 
I've had my current C3 for 4 months and I'm still stoked

Again, welcome to the madness

Yeah, I think I can forgive him in that case. He also has to make room for his Porche that is coming up from Florida this summer. Anyway, his loss is my gain, and I am no stranger to dumping a bunch of money into a car, I am going to have big plans for this car once I figure out what needs to be done to it, and what I want to achieve from the car.

Some guys put them on their cars now for looks more than anything. Kind of an asthetic nod to the racing 'Vettes.
Maybe someone can clarify further if I am mistaken.
