I am so smart!
Well some may debate that, however I think I came up with a good idea.
I made a new folder in my email, and named it "Corvette"
Now when I see something on here, or anywhere for that matter pertaining to my Corvette, I copy and paste it into an email, and email it to myself. Down the road when I need information about a particular method or service or repair, It will be in my Corvette email folder.
Actually I even made a new folder in "My Documents" and have begun storing information, and Corvette related pdf. files there.

....when i got my 88, the previous owner had ALL the receipts and the window sticker...so, i took a 3 ring binder and some see-through document covers and placed all the receipts in it chronologically that he had and have been adding to it ever since...
...i then created a few word doc's (3). i then entered ALL the info about the repairs, costs, mileages at that time from the FIRST owner...
....on the 2nd word doc, i only entered ONLY the repairs, cost, mileages that I performed....
....and on the 3rd, it was the total culmination of BOTH....not only do i have this info on my hard drive and on a separate disc off of my computer, i also have it on a flash drive i carry on my key-chain so that if i need a part, i have immediate access to it...........may be a lot of work at first but, it is great reference info should the need arise.....

Why not use what the forum has to offer by subscribing to the thread instead of going to the lengths of emailing it seperately to yourself. I've got a huge arsenal of cool threads in my subscription.

.....huh?...whom are you talking to?....if it is me, why would i e-mail a receipt that wouldn't be on the forum in the first place or notes about a repair i did to myself?...i record part numbers and cross reference info that is not listed on the forum.....also, one does not need to subscribe to anything just to read information......lastly, i have all the information on MY car on my hard drive, separate disc, and flash drive in case i travel......
EDIT; looked at a pre-existing thread and determined that the post was for someone else!...

.."c-dan22", if you copy the links to a word doc, you'd have to have a computer on line to retrieve the info.......can i make a suggestion?..copy and past the text in that thread to a word doc and you could have it all the time in print or on a cd rom for future reference...
