Default pay it forward/97c5driver

Just to let members know about 97c5driver.

I gave him adjustable endlinks as a pay it forward. I let him know I did not want them to be re-sold for a profit. He decided as I did that the stock metal ones would be better and was nice enough to ask me first if that was ok to trade them.

The reason I feel this is worth mentioning is because some time back I gave a guy the front lic. plate cover, only to see it on ebay 2 weeks later.

I believe in pay it forward to help beat the vet tax. When some one is so thoughtful to uphold it to the end, it needs to be recognized.


Thanks 97c5driver.


Randy

Thanks Randy.

Like stated, if anyone wants to trade straight across your Z06 metal endlinks for my adjustable metal end links, let me know. These things are heavy duty and Im sure someone will benefit from these.

This forum is an excellent place

I'll be posting some pay it forward items in the fs. section ina little while.

Just be careful, there are those on here that want to make money, more then to enjoy the car.

I think the adjustables are more beneficial for the track/auto x guys that need the adjustability.

If you've had the car four corner balanced, sometimes it's necessary to have adjustable links to get the proper set on the sway.
