Hey uptown,

I dont care what anyone says....Your vette is bad to the bone. Your vette is one of my favorites here. I think you have did an awesome job with the restoration of your vette. Rock on buddy.

JUST MY OPINION......Mike

Why cant we all be nice to each other. The bashing is getting old.

I agree Mike, but this thread was about people's opinion on ground effects. Admittedly, some took it too far, but all I did was say I did not care for them. I also told Uptown that I respected his taste and his car was well done, you see where that got me.

Thanks Mike, at least you can appreciate good work when you see it. People just bash and do not see anything else. That is all I have to say. I am telling you it's the people that have nothing else going on in life that bash other people. makes no sense at all. I feel sorry for them actually.

I would sell my C4 to get away from A-holes like you.

Your the one that makes me have an attitude with your ignorant comments.
First, let me fix your statement for you oh great educated one. Too bad someone as uneducated as me has to do that.

Second, I didn't say anything bad about your car. Sorry if you took it wrong but I don't like body kits, not even yours, and here's the key "as nice as yours is". With skin that thin you should re-think becoming a lawyer. Geez................

Oh, another Hokie Postie..........

Not thin skinned or else I would not be able to make it in NYC, I just don't like you and I am fed up with you and your comments that you tell people in this forum. you should just learn to keep your mouth shut. If you have nothing nice to say to people don't say nothing at all.

Yea Jon is just another forum thug from Utah. Lmao, give me a break.

You don't have to comment on or even read my posts, it's OK by me. Again, I said nothing about your car except compliment the workmanship. I'm sorry I don't like ground effects. Don't know why you got so worked up.

Lmao, worked up? wow if you think this is worked up I feel sorry for you if you were around me when I am really worked up. I am just simply defending myself and my car. You should be nicer to people in this forum.

Further, stupid threads like this should not even be started. It is like asking "Is bigger better" and no I dont have a problem there.

Wow, you just don't stop do you? Kind of sounds like a threat to me. I don't know why you felt you had to "defend" your car, I never said anything bad about it. And you think I need to be nicer, easy to say after you delete all your posts.

NYC right? You can stop now.

My name is Bill and I also have a body kit. What makes me different? I have not installed it. I watch these body kit threads and keep a tally on if I should install it, or not. Because it is so important to me to care what you guys think. These threads are really hard on me as you can imagine. I go to install it, then someone posts they are rice, and I stop in my tracks.
I mean what would happen if I met one of you with my dingleberry kit? I would look so different from the rest that have stock bodies. How dare I do this?

I also am poor, and mow my own lawn, clean my own pool, pump my own gas, turn my own wrenches. I have a C5 to boot. Yes my fellow C4 buddies... I fail at life as well.
No helicopter, no yacht, no butler, no sweet black 80's c4 vert, or bitchen blond fro like in 90210 steve sanders.

Now where can I get those rims for 150 bucks? My HRE's need to be replaced.

Absolutely!



Speak for yourself you own C4 because you can't afford anything newer. If you could you would buy one. Don't confuse my financial situation with yours. A body kit can be had used for $200. A bodykit and spoiler on a C4 makes you the Donald trump of C4's? LOL. You have $150 rims and a $200 body kit - Nice pics! If you had so much cash you wouldn't be on your hands and knees sanding your own car down.

You fail at life..
Interesting, because you own a C4 with a body kit and you do your own work, that means you can't afford a C6.
