Default I miss my NON-COMPUTER controlled BB......

I just wanted to stop by the C3 forum to say hi and that I am kind of wishing I was still here. No fault blamed on the prior owner, it is just the nature of the beast. These computers are very touchy with any mods.

Rich, are you done fixing my BB? Can I have it back?? :D

Just remember the simple things break too. :yesnod:

I bet you like your horsepower per gallon in that computer car versus the Big Block.

Good to see you back over here. Sometimes I miss my computer controlled 96 Coupe. All I ever had to do was just get in it and drive. No worries about driving down the interstate trying to keep up with traffic. Maybe you should think about the possibility of getting another c3. HMMMMMMM

The only computer I'd miss would be when my PC is down. :sad: It just bothers me to give up control of the engine to another machine! :D

tworottiedogs,

I hear you! I love my Z, but I will always love the simplicity of working on the 69.
