2021 C4 of the Year - Modified Finalist
newbies
from some of the posts that I've been reading, it looks like a bunch of corvettes have changed hands, and that the new owners have found this site.
I think it's great that there's a lot of new people on here.
We need new blood. Let's hope we can assist them in getting their rides the way they want 'em.

n00bs are our future. Always glad to see new blood.
We do have to slap 'em around to keep 'em in line from time to time though.

As soon as asking the question about....the Vette is running hot, should I just put a 160 degree thermostat in, and surviving.

Honda will always win!
Just kidding. Since I'm a nOOb I get to say stupid things like that right?
I have been a stalker of this forum for many years always looking for information for my dad. Have been a member of many other forums including the FIERO forum for many years...
I like it here though, so much information and advice!

They're ready for you. Whenever a corvette slam comes up it involves the C4 so they are all warmed up... Beyond that, who cares what anybody else thinks...?
