Addiction
Is it normal that there are so many people (men & women) that are crazy about corvette's and the forum? Im always on this forum even during work hrs I sometimes find it hard to concentrate because I want to know whats happening on the board. My day starts about 5am and the first thing I do is check the board with my coffee
.
Is this normal or do I have a sickness
Sometime's when I cant sleep I seem to pop on here to scope out the new products,builds ect. Is this what happens when you buy a vette, they neglected to mention this on the sticker price at the dealer

So true.......I am the same way. I don't have access at work but I have a PDA so I can surf the forum all the time. If it wasn't for this forum my car would be stock. My current project with my C5 would have been done last year but everytime I see something new, I buy it......which is slowing the process down big time but I know it's worth the wait.

yep same here, but I started like in 2000 and had a lot of the first on the market parts so you can see I had a lot of Trial & error. Im doing a new build now and like you said I have a plan and then see a new product and my plan goes to sh--! There's got to be a pill for this disease

I am the same way with this I-phone... I catch myself at work looking on the forum and I dont even realize how much time Im on hereits for a good reason though. Take a look around and see someone without a hobby/addiction lol they dont look like they are having much fun.

This forum is a great place.
It gives me a break from all of the
of real life......
I also got a lot of ideas and inspiration from some of the people that I have meet through this site.
I am normally cruising this site a few times a day. Heck I'm on vacation in Cancun at the moment check'n in to see if there is anything new going on.
Addicted, I guess I am too.

We all need something in life that keeps us going, It might as well be spending money on a Vatte, A lot of money for the next level of power, But I have seen you build and it is going to be a monster, But I hate to tell you there will be something else and the next power level and then the next, You will never find the top, Good luck with you new build as it will be a real hand full and be carefull.

I'm going to go see your car on Monday. Why don't you come up for some good Canadian beer? This will be the second time that I go to a shop and see your Vette all torn apart with you in some other state slaving away and dreaming about driving it.
Did I mention that I'm going to see your car on Monday?

I'm much in the same boat!
i AM REALLY CLOSE TO BUYING A sATALITE ACCESS CARD FOR MY LAP TOP SO while i'M OUT IN THE FIELD DURING THE DAY I Can LOG ON and SEE WHAT IS GOING ON! (Dang I am not re-typing all this, damn caps key)
I too take a look in on the forum in the morning at 4:30 AM to see if there are any updates or I check my E-Mail to see who has responded to some of the posts I've subscribed to!
I love it I'm addicted and it's like I tell my wife at least I'm addicted to Corvettes and not other things (I.E- **** or something )
Thanks,Matt

Bill,
I have been enjoying the beach and the clubs. It's hot as you know what down here and you can only last so long before you need to get some air-conditioning.
My wife is really fair skinned and burns in about one hour with SPF 30.
Been to Jimmy Buffet's MargarittaVille, Senor Frogs, Congo Bongo and a few other joints.
The weather has been great, no rain all week. Heading home tomorrow afternoon.
