Hi I am a corvette-aholic and I hate all of you! I'm stuck on this $hitty deployment without my vettes and all of you are lucky a-holes to have yours.
P.S you guys really are not a-holes!

Hi
I'm Fred and I am not a Vette-aholic.
I can quit anytime, seriously
Nah, I'm not addicted...no way
I'm Fred and I am not a Vette-aholic.
I can quit anytime, seriously
- I am not addicted to great accelleration and handling
- I am not addicted to the beautiful curves of the C5
- I am not addicted to the joy of popping off the Targa and cruising exposed to the elements
- I am not addicted to running thru the gears and enjoying the sound of Corsa Indys screaming at 5500 RPM
Nah, I'm not addicted...no way

My name is Dustin. It started out as simply a purchase, then became a hobby. After time, the hobby started blossoming into a passion. The passion became an addiction. Now...well now the first thing I do when I wake up is find an excuse to drive my Vette. Before I go to sleep I find an excuse to drive my Vette. What's worse, is that the time in between is usually spent cleaning my Vette or scouring the 'forums for ideas and mods. Every Saturday, no matter what (except torrential rain) the Vette receives a five-hour detail of paint, interior, and engine bay. I blow of school work, social engagements, and **** to spend time with my Vette. I have a problem, and I am okay with that.....

As the old saying goes "what's the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings"
I feel sorry for all you Corvette-aholics. I have two vette's to keep me occupied so, I don't have time for any meetings. Blissfully living the dream in total denial.

started with a c3. then bought a c5 to keep her company. Now, I can do long projects on the old vette, and still have a vette to drive to keep from going into detox. C5 stock, and DD. C3, has a few stock interior parts and the original frame still. That is about it.

Confessions of a Corvette-aholic
I have something else to admit - I realized recently that I have another sign that this "disease" is progressing. I'm looking for a new residence and not as concerned with my own living space as I am with making sure I have at least a 2-car garage for the Vette.
Wow, I think I'm beyond help at this pt. Guess the only thing left to do is work on buying Vette #2 for a DD.

I think it is an incurable disease - I've had my car for less than a month and I am already spending way too much money on it.

Now once I go for headers, new intake and a Corsa exhaust I'll have to take my sleeping bag with me so I can bed down with all the other corvette at the shop? What to do ? I don't smoke or drink, so I always justify my addiction by saying "Well i not smoking or drinking or gambling !" so I think I'll. . .

Then, a Lingenfelter 90MM TB.... then a 90MM MAF.... then a 4L65E Stage 6 tranny... and it it gets worse fromt there. I need help!

Hi, I'm Bill, and I'm a Corvette-aholic. It started with selling two motorcycles to get my C5 in '07... then simple mods.. you know the type...catback exhaust, padded center console - color coded to match your interior, better headlights.. Then you start looking at other items... headers, cam, heads, intake, throttle body.. it's MADNESS.
