I have never met Jim and have only seen his car here on the forum. He seems like a GREAT guy, and as others have said, he only has nice things to say about others. Maybe one day ill have the pleasure to meet him, and if i dont meet him, its not gonna hurt me but im sure if I do meet him, Ill leave a smile .

As for 1badz064me goes, your an idiot. So what if he takes a million pictures of his car. You should see my camera. It's full of pictures of my car. Who cares....If I had a car that beautiful there would be pictures everywhere !!

As one member said in his post Z06 Jim will away talk to you about his car hay it all about his car and him. I have seen a lot of good members here with every little post and no one talks how good they are. but let someone have 10,000 post and alot of you treat them as some type of god. Life is more then a car.
Man - who crapped in your mess kit? I've been posting here for 3 1/2 years and I've never seen Jim brag about himself or his car.

He is justifyingly proud of his car. When good things happen, like an article in a magazine or a conversation with Dennis Gage on TV - that's something the rest of us can only dream about. When someone posts pics of new wheels - Jim is always one of the first to say that they look great, etc.

I'm sorry for you that you seem to have such a chip on your shoulder and seem so unhappy. Whatever is the cause of this attitude, I hope it gets better for you.

This is a community of Corvette enthusiasts, where we share information, tips and news - good or bad. It's too bad that your first few posts are so negative....

Maybe you need to find another forum to lurk on as you aren't making many new friends here. You've definitely started off on the wrong foot.

I know. You can't even say nice things without a few (or at least one) raining on your parade. It is kind of funny when you really think about it

Way to go guys. You have all been a big help to me with my mod choices and that INCLUDES Jim---whitout it having to be about his car but WTH---why not talk about his car? He put alot of time and effort into making it as nice as it is and I for one am glad to have spoken to him and get some ideas and leads for things I want to do to mine along with ALOT of the gentlman (and ladies) on this great forum..These guys are too nice here to be spoken about in such a manner and you should consider yourself kicked to the curb---you can now get to steppin..

You might want to ban it's IP address - it keeps making new IDs and hurling abuse...

A ban from the site for expressing an opinion? ...most of us would be banned as well.
A better idea might be to put his name on your "ignore this member" list and he'll never utter another word that anyone hears.
My list contains lots of jerks...

I guess it's true what they say...." there are those who are so unhappy in their own life that they have to try and bring down everyone else to their level in order to be happy '' I for one have never met Jim , but from all the post's I have read, and all the POSITIVE feed back about him would have to say that he is certainly a positive roll model for all Corvette owners. Just my 2 cents worth.

Right now I'm a C4 guy but a wanna-be C5 guy at heart, Thanks to my wife, you all know her as btchn99.

Jim has offered a great amount of help and guidance to her when we started to design the mods for her car. And a number of other great guys here on the forum.

I have never met him but hope to this year at Carlie. I must say I truly adore his car and his car has given me ideas of what I want to do to my C5 when I get it.
