At this moment I am ashamed to be a part of this forum.

Have to agree with that since the largest number of members speak English and the vast majority of the posts are in English.

Whoa, based on some of the posts here, maybe we should change to title of this forum to C5 general for English Speaking Corvette Owners Only.

Bienvienido Cachorro. Tu corvette se mira buen.

I am really shocked at some of the posts in this thread, I thought I knew some of you better. It is threads like this that makes me wonder where the Corvette botherhood went.
After today I have a new impression of some of the members on this forum.
