Ok, add Perfusion to the list...

I know I would forget some... so many have come and gone in the last 5 years! It's amazing any of us are still here.

But there are a few... just a few... but that's what creates glue that keeps the world in general going.

Corvette Kid NC - thank you for your comments regarding my brother. He passed May 31, 2003, from brain cancer.

I am still looking for a real job! I am a programmer analyst, and trying to find those jobs anymore is like finding **** on a bull... At this point, maybe I will go to work for Autozone...

Interesting observations about the results of ownership and anyone who has owned a C4 can pretty much agree (and sympathize) with them.

I went back and looked at my paperwork, and it turns out I've had my 92 roadster for 8 years and 3 months Guess time flies when you're having fun with the car
My computer crashed, now I am back!

I bought it for $16,800.00 and it had 39,900 or so miles on it that day. Currently, it has 135k miles.

Anytime!

LTCC is a conversion that allows the use of LS1 coils (8 of'm) instead of the single coil and cap/rotor (high voltage). The opti is used as an optical pickup for the ECU to keep timing.

Well I'm not about to let you slide out of here with wishing you a Happy Anniversary & many more to come. I would not worry about finding a job "Good things happen to Good People", your one of the best. It's not very often a person of your caliber comes along and when they do, you hold on to that friendship with both hands. As I have only been with this Forum since Feb 05, I have enjoyed reading your many posts written with cander and knowledged base facts. I think we are forunate to have you as a friend and mentor. Keep up the Great Job.

Congrats! Nice anniversary, I had mine 1.5 months ago. Vettes do eat your money but no regrets.

BTW. would you be interested in a pristine 1.5 mass Iridium flywheel? Makes your car 37.5% faster and your biceps 55% bigger. I have one that I don't need as it supricingly didn't fit my A4...
