YO! Stangkiller!!
I came to Florida with low expectations a year ago. Time passed and I met a great group of folks, yourself included. And for some reason your garage is always open.
Sorry for waking you up the other day, but,
my shifter wouldn't get me to Merritt Island, where, as luck would have it, you'd hooked me up with a bargain on a tranny swap. The highly skilled folks you knew, .....there was a wonderful result. 
The point is this: I don't know how well I'd be doing just now if I didn't know Chris. I even bugged him today for tools to help re-install my console and junk.
He's all about helping those in need, if only to serve his desire to turn a wrench and knuckle a **** when the job is done, properly. And there are a great many folks on this forum, with a SE-Forum leaning, who know just what I'm explaining.
Yo! Chris! Mang! Thanx for the jetskis yesterday, the hook-up on the tranny, the help with my console, <list the other thangs "here" > and the offer to house my hairy azz all the while.
I owe you big time, Mang! I only wish I could name all the members in Orlando you've helped...
Thanx, Bro!

I would have to support your comment on Chris. I met him for a day's time and both my wife and I agree that he is a great guy. Very helpful, very friendly and very mature for a guy I thought was much older.
Thanks too Chris for being a help! when I was in need of some things.

Just kidding, Chris
When I met you, Max, Brian, Steve & Chris2 at CI6, I was very impressed with your maturity and just good solid common sense. You and the FL Leghumpers are the next generation of Corvette owners and you carry the torch well.Stephen

I can't say thank you enough to Chris. Awesome person is an understatement. Thanks again Chris!
I wish your birthday celebration wasn't going to be on a Thursday, otherwise, I'd come down for it.

I just spent 9 days if Florida, and Chris was nice enough to drive me all over town, at all hours of the day and night. Met the rest of the Orlando crew, and they were all great guys. Even that crazy guy EatRice, who lives in the middle of nowhere, is pretty cool...
