Default Attention NEWBIES !

Ok, I know you're reading this wondering what's goin' on ??? :confused:

This Forum and us C3 guys enjoy our cars and are willing to help out however we can. I've seen a few posts lately about "I'm thinking about this......or I wanna do that......"

Well, then.....stop thinking.....pondering....or whatever your doing and get ACTIVE !

This is what the Forum is ABOUT.......sharing information & helping others :grouphug:

Don't feel intimidated......there a few things we know and a lot of things we don't know......some are Experts in engine building while others enjoy Detailing out their C3's enough to eat off of ! :lol:

Anyways, my point is to call all you NEWBIES forward to bring on the questions and problems - We'll try to HELP ! :cheers:

Long live C3 vettes and keep 'em on the road !

What I think he's trying to say is:

Don't be afraid or intimidated by problems or upgrades to your vette.
There are people here that want to help. Not because of ego or $$ -
but because many of us want to see the hobby/addiction propagate.

It's kind of like having kids ... it's a bit of work, but it guarantees that
'your kind' will continue after your time to leave has come.

I will be urging, helping, and congratulating for many years to come.

Also, the 'newbies' bring fresh ideas to the table. So, go ahead and speak
your mind. We listen, too. :lolg:

If not for the forum, I'd never know how to scrape coyote fur off the
bottom of a C3. :lol:

Coyote fur challenges the effectiveness of bug and tar removal.
