Default Thanks Corvette Forum

I got my car last summer and a friend told me about this place. I feel that every so often I graduate from one level to the next because of this forum.

First I use to look only at the General Section, then I found myself in the O/T and the Northeast sections. Eventually I found myself at the tech section.

Now I am starting to get into drag stuff and I find myself in the Drag area much more.

The forum has provided me with plenty of information that I need to do what I want to the car and also gives advise on what to watch out for.

Thanks For a good forum...

If there were such a thing as a National Corvette Club (Is there one?), this would be it.

Great to be a part of it and glad you're aboard too...

love my car-
That is funny, some just don't unterstand the love affair between Men and their cars. Great forum name!

Wicked Weasel-
I know what you mean, the forum is awesome with all the different sections. I'm in General most of the time but now I find myself wondering over into Tech for info on gears and a T/C and then maybe heads and a cam. It's never ending. I guess I could be doing a lot worse things with my money and enjoying it less.

I agree with everyone , I've picked up on a lot of the idiosynchrasies of the technologies in our cars , most of my experience falls with C1's , C2's , C3's , although I'm in a technology based field I have a lot to learn about these cars , but thanks to the forum I'm learning everyday !

Default Unbelievable source of info and friends

You can't even begin to determine just how much information lies in this forum. It's like an interactive Shop manual, that provides real time pictures, instructions and tips to complete projects with the least amount of cruising and thrown tools! Every aspect of the Vette from care to going faster to repairs to opinions is a keystroke away.

My wife too can't belive how much time I spend on this site. Sometimes I think she wishes I was surfing for ****

So far in a year a learned enought to but the car, clean the car, mod the car and like Wicked Weasel said, get neck deep into Drag Racing. Without sounding like a Mary, I would like to thank all who have answered my stupid questions, helped me with decisions on Headers, CAI's and Catbacks and got me to use Vette Doctors for my Mods.

This place and everyone in it rocks
