Hey everyone, another new guy here. I have been with Corvette Action Center last two years and decided to try something new. Heard this site has more people (I hope closer to my age) thought I would take a look.

I'm a member of both the Corvette Forum and the CAC. The CAC has a much smaller core group - and the C5 forums over there move pretty slow. But the CAC cannot be beat for it's extensive database of all kinds of information - from production data, to pertinent and timely articles, it's database of GM recalls and service bulletins and lots of other helpful data.

This forum does have a lot more members, and the mix of several age groups can be refreshing sometimes - and at the same time can be rather "trying". One way or the other -this is an enthusiasts forum and it's important for all of the members to remember that enthusiasm comes in several flavors. Some like to race, others like appearance mods, others like big horsepower, while still others prefer bone stock.

I hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome, welcome. New blood is always good.

I agree that the mix in ages can be...a challenge at times.

Sometimes I think they need to split the forum even further. Perhaps a C5 - Old Farts and a C5 - Young Punks?
