Man, I'm glad I don't ever have to fly. Especially this day and age with airport security and delayed flights. At least you can rely on this trusty Corvette Forum to pass the time

I browse CF and other websites from my Blackberry when I get stuck waiting somewhere or when I am traveling and eat lunch along and there is no newspaper available, etc.

My phone is not that smart . I did have a Blackberry, it did everything well except for being a phone, it got e-mail and text messages fine but I couldn't talk to anyone! I tried to take it back to Cingular but it was 1 day out of warranty.

So I took it to the range and shot it . It felt soooo good but it was the most expensive target I've ever shot!

Don't use my phone to surf the forum, but do get on the computer early in the morning, at noon and in the evening and check in here.

I guess the forum has just become a part of my daily routine..even my girlfriend know what i'm doin when she sees me at the computer. she knows exactly what the web site looks like! haha oh well, she loves my car...and me too i would hope! jk
I should also correct the term "smartphone" because I hate this phone and it is DUMB! (motorola q)...although it did get me onto the forum so i guess its smart enough!
