Re: FRESH START (garagedweller2)
Much better. Apology accepted. You are very young and very new to the Forum. You have already learned a lesson about showing proper respect. Here's a second lesson you should learn and learn now at your age: Shark drivers wave at other Corvette drivers when they pass. :) You will hear about The Wave and those who do and those who do not. It's doesn't matter whether the other driver returns your wave. What's important is that you wave.

Re: FRESH START (frannsteve)
Anyone can make a mistake. The key is to admitt your mistake. Learn from your mistake and try not to make the same mistake again. You showed alot of courage by comming back to the forum for a man of any age. As one of your harshest critics I will accept your apology and welcome you to the forum.

Make sure you earn it. :cool:
I think we ALL have said things we regret around here (I know for sure that I have). As an owner of a rubber bumper Vette, as far as I was concerned he was forgiven after his FIRST apology.
Just don't do it again.
P.S. I didn't get my "Killer Dawg" complex because everyone around here said they loved my car. There have been plenty of opinions expressed here regarding which is better, rubber or chrome. I just never had anyone come right out and say it was ugly.

Re: FRESH START (garagedweller2)
I can remember when I was thirteen I was already way ate up with cars. Vettes were way out of my league price wise and I was completely wrapped up in getting myself a 73 Triumph TR-6. I saved my bucks and bought one for $2,100. How much money do you think you will have saved up by the time you are 16 and ready to hit the street. Forum members can help you start to narrow the field of available options to you if you want to try and get into a vette for your first ride. One option might be to buy a beater now if you have some cash and spend the next 3 years building her up. I remember having to work in a Chinese food resturaunt just to make enough money to keep my little TR running. So what's the plan. Clue us in and I am sure we can help you refine it and make it doable.

Re: FRESH START (garagedweller2)
If you want a vette of any year and your parents are not springing for it then you will be working your little butt off next summer and also all though high school. Forget after school hanging out on the internet your gonna be washing dishes or getting a spill on isle 9. Practice this line in advance " do you want fries with that shake " anything is possible and if you start working hard next year and saving your bucks you will have a C3 before you know it. When you do finally get yours, you will be so proud of it because you earned it. Kinda why so many guys on the forum are so protective of their rides. They have had to kiss alot of butts, wash alot of dishes, and get some fat chick a size 12 in a loafer in order to pay for their pride an joy. Only question is how bad do you want it. Anything is attainable. :seeya

Hey, dig around and see who suggested to him to stick around and how to rehab before you take a little jab at me. I'm on the kid's side. :yesnod:
