This forum is the best simply because of the amount of traffic on it. The response rate on every issue here is far superior to other forums even if they have nice blue backgrounds or consider themselves intellectually superior.

I belong to three Corvette forums. This one has by far the most traffic and the most knowledgeable lurkers. I get good answers to my questions from people that have experienced what I'm dealing with although sometimes via PMs. You have to patiently weed thru the bs that some "don't know it alls" post though. Some don't deal with that patiently. I like to post how I accomplished my projects because there are others out there that do their own work and spend their own money. After all, this is a hobby. The other two forums are great also, just not as much traffic. After all, Corvette owners are generally pretty cool people.

I love this forum for all the help I've gotten over the last 4 years. I wish I had 1/2 the knowledge of some of the people here. Particularly lately I want to give a big shout out to Roger and all his help on my misc. electrical problems I've had. Thanks man, and thanks to all others who have given a helping hand!

Your wife must know my wife!!! Always ragging on me about spending time on e-bay and the Corvette Forum. I will have to remember your quote about hanging out @ the corner bar the next time she hassles me. The reason I like this Forum is the awesome members who have a wealth of knowledge about these great cars. I have gained alot of valuable info.

Most if not all are owners that have been there, done that. Plus there are quite a few who work on Vetts as a profession. Ops! sorry professional guys, work is something you have to do, Vetts are something you want to do.

I like this forum because of the info. No matter what I work on I can find answers to my questions and pics from several people who are working on the same project as me. It saves me so much time trying to figure things out.

I have to say that I don't consider it work if I would do it on my time off and Corvettes fit squarely in the fun category so I guess I don't work for a living.

The participation on this forum is superb as is the passion, experience and innovation of its members.
