Respect the Wagon Wheel

Thanks Mike, Not sure I will see the 20 year marker, but I thank you for the kind words and your thoughtful intent. IM already one year past my expiration date. IM not sure if my mellow nature in recent times has made this forum a more tolerable experience for me, or the fact that people are not so quick to poke their finger in my eye.

I don't hate the wagon wheel, but it's definitely too euro to actually look good on a c5.

Ive never come here with an aggressive attitude, not in almost 15 years. My intent has always been to be helpful in areas that I am an absolute expert. I have always had a problem with people disrespecting me and the time I spend here. IN 15 years I have never once come here for help. I' ve always been here to help others. I have almost twice the amount of Private messages asking me for help, with never any hostility.
IN open forum some people have chosen, over the years to poke their finger in my eye.
Not just offer an opinion of their own in open forum, but to purposely quote me and tell me how wrong I am...This has not been the case in the last year. So for me, I cone here to still help, but few people care anymore about how this car was designed, so my relevance here has changed dramatically. I used to get between 50 and 100 PM's a day from 2001 and 2005. I never went to bed any of those days without answering each one. Sometimes spending 10 to 12 hours a day answering questions or getting answers from my former team members. I like the mellowness to, l always have come here to help if I could, and stayed away from threads where I could not help. IM still getting 5 or 6 PM's a day, but more about my health and occasional nostalgia question.

On a side note, I love all of the pace cars, but my favorite one is the purple and white C4. I believe it was '96 and the 500 was run on my birthday that year, May 28, just another reason besides the beauty of the car itself for my admiration. I think it was '96 (might have been '95), but I am old...........

I've only been here a little over 6 months and I love this place and all the nice helpful people on here. It saves me time, trouble and keeps me away from mechanics. I don't have too much to offer yet, being this is my first vette, but in time I will have more to offer. I have come across a couple rude people on here, but just like the real world your gonna have jerks where ever u go. To all the cool people, much respect! Also being I'm new to this forum, I've been treated like I've been here for years, I was on another forum in the beginning "digital-blank", And it didn't feel like home like here, they didn't make me feel welcome like this forum, I actually felt ignored. Corvetteforum rules!

Yeah, but ya gotta admit that particularly in regard to your Pace Car, they are absolutely unforgettable!!!!!

Yes I'm picky :-) I have one now with 22k miles. Took a while to find but it was well worth the wait. I have patience :-)
