I'd vote for Roger

He really seems to know it all. Not like some of the other "Know-it-Alls" who comment on every topic but give questionable advice.

Do you mean C3 CF members? There are a whole bunch of members you never see if you are never in other sections. And besides that....WHAT KINDA QUESTION IS THIS? Lets just say we have many knowledgeable members here, hell some ppl stay in the general section others in tech/perf. I appreciate everyone's input and level of knowledge.

The very reason why we come to a forum such as this...its the group input we seek.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Clubby99 but I certainly don't "know it all".
I think we all have our areas where we shine and I'm just happy to be part of a group of guys that are very knowledgeable and enjoy sharing that knowledge to help others.

Being the most knowledgeable is probably the one who has screwed the most things up. We all learn from our mistakes and nobody is perfect. Besides, free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it. If you want an expert with a guarantee, take your car to a shop and bring along your checkbook.

Well, taking your car to a repair shop will get you professional advice. In most instances, I'm not so sure about how "expert" that advice might be.

I feel that their are so many, that it would be hard to pick just one. There are a few that really stand out, and they know who they are, and a pat on the back to them. I also think that at many times, that issues get solved in a post by a number of collective comments, which is what makes this forum, so great. Thanks to you all.

If there was just one person who knew it all, we wouldn't need a forum. We could just ask that person.

Is Nolan in the house?

I'd hesitate to try to name all the guys that have helped/saved me, for fear I would leave somebody out. On a side note, I can't agree with the "know-it-all" comment (even if it doesn't include me) because the vast majority of people who post seem to speak from their own experience--at least in the types of threads I follow.

Was telling a neighbor about the forum yesterday, and said truthfully that I never could have done what I've done to my car without CF.

I always find it funny how many people think the ability to work on cars is something you're born with--or without!

So anyway, to all the natural-born Corvette guys mentioned above and ALL the valuable CF members...
