Its a pleasure

I think I learned almost everything I know about my car here. I now know enough to be dangerous

It always amazes me that there are so many folks willing to give up their time to help out fellow owners. CF is a great Forum

I'm on the Forum at least once a day. Try not to be on long. Just enough to see what's new and check out the topics I've been on.

You're too modest GeeGee. You always give very good info. Especially when it comes to the tech stuff. Never fails, if someone has a problem, you're right there with the quotes from the manuals to give 'em a hand. And that's a world of help, my friend.

I would be a "NOOB" 4.5 yr vette owner if it were not for this forum. Its amazing how little vette owners know about there cars, and how little they know about options for the car ! I get questions all the time about my mods. "What mod is that ? Where did you get it ? How did you learn about it ?". I just say i guess you missed that post on the Corvette Forum. They most times say "Corvette Forum ?". I try to get people on here to help them learn more about there car. I tell them its addictive though, but its great ! I have met many friends here too. Even International friends !

This forum is the best on the internet period !

I've been tinkering/working on cars over 45 years,,but the forum,as C5R says is priceless!! While I have a lot of old school time I'm a noob with the 21st century stuff and this place has a WEALTH of information! I learn something just about everyday!!! When I run into something It's probably being blogged about or I've seen a potential problem and I've bookmarked it or search it out. There have been a few things I've posted and bam someone jumps in and gives an answer or posts a link (gotta learn how to do that one yet) My wife jokes that we have too much time on our hands AND that I am addicted to this place Well I AM addicted and who cares,,at least THIS addiction can SOMETIMES SAVE you money !! Well I guess it is a wash ,,save money on DIY repairs,,,spend money on MODs I love it!!!
