BUT after a LOT of reading I can say I am really getting there...The best part of this is the $$$ Savings MAN .....I had a dead battery due to the Delco batt going bad after not starting the car and my radio got in the Loc mode ....Of corse no code in my book or anywhere else so I call dealer he says no prob 150 dollars !!!!!!!!!!!

Friday night, second bottle of wine just opened, but I still have to agree. I love this site. I just compleated a purchase from another member with out my MO getting to him, he is sending out the product. I do the same as I have never been burned by a forum member. I have learned so much and simply enjoy reading the posts. I guess I need to post more to earn more stars, but that is on the bottom of my list.

Welcome, if you need anything simply ask, you just never know.

This board is great...It has saved me a ton of money. But come to think of it I probably wouldnt have bought most of my mods if it wasnt for this forum.

This is a good forum for TECH advice, but nobody tells you the truth when you ask for feedback on your pics or mods so it's useless in that aspect.

This IS a great source of info, helped me when I bought mine.
Plus, as a long time 'computer geek' this is EXACTLY what the internet was built to do. Not 'you-tube, dancing pig funny videos, yadda yadda yadda', but a place for people to share information and help solve problems. I pretty much live on forums in my job and this place helps me greaty with my C5 obsession.

It would be difficult having a Vette in England without being able to bounce ideas off you guys.

Yes, this Forum is absolutely tremendous. I have learned much from the members who are very willing to answer questions. Also, I recently did two repairs which were only possible because posts on the Forum. I estimate I saved $800 by not taking the vette to the dealer.
