I like walks on the beach, long, slow wet kisses, and poking dead things with sticks.

I agree with your disagreement - I read the forum and absorb miscellaneous information. Sometimes I don't know what I don't know, and one day it might come in handy to know, you know? I would never know if someone didn't dig up an ancient thread.

The worst pet peeve I have on car forums are the "search police" , these guys are the most detrimental to the flow of current , relevant information that people need.

Someone chimes in asking for some current info on "whatever" and the response is " go search "

New information comes up and should be shared, rather then reffering to 5 year old threatds you find on google.

When people ask for opinions and get mad when they get them (because they don't match theirs).

When people post in an open forum and get mad because people have input they don't like.

When people expect others to be overly supportive or congratulatory of goofy, tacky mods.

When members don't stand up and help their fellow Vette brethren stay away from spears, caliper covers, neon kits, lambo doors, louvers, etc.

When people use terrible grammar or no punctuation.

Everyone hypes chimay but I'm not a big fan. It's okay I guess. My favorite is Victory, they are based out of PA.

What's everyone else on about?

You hold your tongue about chimay! It's made with unfiltered water and monk urine, so you know it's good!

Victory does make some tasty beverages though, can't deny that one. Honestly I've only had chimay once, I never would have bought it for myself but my boss bought some.

Hey Surfer G, Did you tune the lawnmower yet? I use sta-bil in my mower and it stays in tune pretty well! I bought a new roto tiller last year but need to start it up soon.

Thanks for reminding me to put the charger on my tractor battery in the basement. Spring might show up soon here in the NE

OK, I recommend drinking Corona while fixing your lawnmower. It can also be used to wash last year's grime off the spinning blades. Weisenstephaner Vitus (weizenbock) is my current favorite, but it should only be used internally.

I did, thank you. I use sta-bil as well, but a cold Corona makes it fun to work on stuff. You can't have to much fun, which reminds me again to get some more Corona.
