Default A very big thanks!

I just want to say how much I appreciate this forum and the wealth of information that's available here. No where else have I found so much information about our cars.

I used the forum for info while I was searching for my car and have used it for a few small repairs and upgrades.

The latest being my A/C condensation drain tube. I would have NEVER found that sucker if it wasn't for this forum! I took it to the corvette shop where I bought the car and asked the owner if he could help me by jacking up the car. I told him what I wanted to do and he didn't have any idea where the small tube was. So I crawled up under the car, found it and fixed it. He certainly appreciated the info and said that it was good info to have. We talked a lil' while and I told him about the forum here and how great it is, so maybe we'll get another member.

Anyway, just wanted to give a big and a to the forum.

I Kept getting "lean" codes on the DIC,with the accompanying "check engine" light.
Thanks to the Forum,I found a loose clamp on the air bridge,snugged it up,and haven't had a code since (3 weeks)

This place has been a fantastic resource for all my corvette needs. I even bought my first Vette, a C5Z, from a member here; and I've been able to do all kinds of things to my car by buying and selling parts here, as well as reading how-to's and looking at pictures. Thanks to the forum, I have a new semi-custom interior, long tube headers which I bought from a forum vendor and installed myself using forum instructions, and a host of other things.

This winter I am looking to sell my Vette for another C5Z of a different color (I want EB!) or even buy a C6Z. It's nice to know that if I end up with the C6, I'll have this place to learn from like I did with my C5.
