The c3 is fun to drive and be seen in for some folks . It is also a good looking car , but underneath its facade it is a poorly constructed vehicle . Let me hasten to add that many of the cars of the same era are just as bad ! Do I love my car ,,,,,,,, heck no ! But it does provide a nice hobby .

Three old ladies named Nancy, Margarita and Karen were sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation when a flasher approached from across the park.

The flasher came up to the ladies, stood right in front of them and opened his trench coat.

Nancy immediately had a stroke. Then Margarita also had a stroke.

But Karen, being older and more feeble, couldn't reach that far.

sometimes around here ya'll take this shet waaaay too serious...and I don't just mean 79vettemike either....don't have a stroke.... it's really bad if it ain't yours..

When Dep made that comment, he was talking about poor performance, rather than build quality. But, I do agree with you. After the gasoline crisis in the 70s, the big 3 cut a lot of corners designing and building cars.

There is a difference between making asinine remarks and being an a$$. I don't think I put up with either. If this was just a prank, it would have been better to get the permission of the the other person prior to making the thread. I am not defending anyone. Someone people on the forum do not share the opinions as me and I don't agree with others on some matters.

Listen guys, Dep is fooling with all of you.

The fact that these conversations are so impersonal makes for easy attacking one another.
If you were in the same room with Dep and had the same conversation would you feel just as insulted?

The guy is on a C3 forum, why would he be here if he did not inherently like the C3??

Good years, bad years, whatever.....I like my new BBQ because it is Stainless Steel, I do however like all BBQ's because they create an atmosphere of smelling a nice cooking steak with some smoke and the accompanying sounds of sizzling juices.
That combined with being outside either alone BBQing for the wife and I or with a few buddies sipping a Lager and talking crap
is what the BBQ is all about.

My SS BBQ is better than my old one that got all rusty and only had two burners.....so what, I like all BBQ's for what they represent and might argue the pros and cons of each including
the times where people used charcoal instead of my dandy four burner (excluding the back warmer and the side burner) propane sporting model.

If I go onto the BBQ forum and drag your sh$%assed one burner metal BBQ through pig dung, I am most likely screwing with you....just for badness....even though it may be true.

Who cares.....we all love BBQ's!!!!

I've always enjoyed reading Dep's posts. He adds a little spark to this forum. I'm afraid I will abstain from voting in the poll.

Maybe just maybe the "Depster" is attempting to prove a point!! And what point is that you ask?? Maybe the Depster is trying to show (some of you) that there are waaay too many useless posts at the C-3 page..... just maybe!!
.....redvetracr

PS: there "should" be a third voting option...Dep IS "the man" thats where I cast my vote!!

Dep wouldn't use that greasy kid's stuff. I'm sure he is a Brill Cream man!

Chuck

By the way, Dep is anything but thin skinned, but I would never label a friend or a friends comments in general as "assenine". And Dep, like many other members of this form is a friend. People who wrongfully pick on my friends I will tell "BACK OFF!" 'Nuff said.

I vote for the hair gel.... But i do realize however that just because someone is a douch doesn't mean they don't know their stuff. DJ DEP you are my ZERO!!!! My car doesn't drive either. Although it does start.

Well dep and I have had our disagreements. He said that I was too emotional and that I should give everyone a hug. Well I'm not emotional damn it!!

After I had a good cry my wife consoled me, gave me a new box of Kleenex and I headed back to the computer just looking for trouble. But I got sidetracked. :o

Anyway, Dep is not so bad. He likes to stir it up, but look how many of us responded to his post. Dep, if you're reading this and feeling a little under appreciated, this is for you and your 455 SD

I don't know what is funnier this post or some of you getting all hot and bother at it. He is been compared to a stupid gel people get over it. I like reading Deps post and I also agree with PRNd21 "I am confident that Dep can take it as well as he can dish it out." This is too funny.

I like my new BBQ because it is Stainless Steel,
Stainless steel BBQ's suck, cast iron is the only true natural way to go.
I do however like all BBQ's because they create an atmosphere of smelling a nice cooking steak with some smoke
What are you? Some sort of pollution ****???

BBQing for the wife and I or with a few buddies sipping a Lager and talking crap
And a drunk too huh?

so what, I like all BBQ's for what they represent
OK, now all this brown nosing is making me nauseous.

people used charcoal instead of my dandy four burner (excluding the back warmer and the side burner) propane sporting model.
Heck, I can't think of anything funny to add under this quote, excluding the back warmer and side burner.
If I go onto the BBQ forum and drag your sh$%assed one burner metal BBQ through pig dung, I am most likely screwing with you....just for badness....even though it may be true.
Just as long as the pig dung is more than 2 days old. I hate it when it's still steaming.

Who cares.....we all love BBQ's!!!!
What do you think this is Off Topic?????



BTW, I just had to have a little fun here. nothing against corvette's, (rubber or chrome) and for what its worth, all T/A's are ghey. Just look at the type of people that defend them....

Hey Dep, I still listen to the CD you sent me....BeepBeep.

There is a term for this kind of guy..Flamer

They do it just to get attention. Best thing to do is to just ignore them and they will go away. In most online communities this is grounds for being banned.

This post might have gone over better in offtopic, but thinking it was a personal attack is funny .

Oh, I voted for the gel
