Well, congratulations on your anniversary,
1999 was the first year for this Forum, I'd like to say it started in Feb., but not sure
I was a lurker back then. Didn't join up until I bought a C4, which needed some forum help for repairs.
Don't know for sure how many of the originals are still here, but I see quite a few in OT.

It’ll take some getting used to. Do we even have a choice?

This forum is a great community.

Why does time move so fast when you get old?
25 years here.
After all the other forums like Corvette magazine and Yankee Lady, we all ended up here.

Congratulations! 👏 We bought our '78 in 1990 - I guess the internet was still in its infancy, but it took me a while to join up, so I'm a few years behind you.

I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't noticed the new anniversary avatars! 🙄 It might look better without the blanks? When we were in Bowling Green for the NCM's 30th anniversary we were presentred with our 25 Year membership pins. They too have changed, but a much nicer now than they used to be!👍
