I liked my '93 C4. The flip up hood, made working on the engine and front suspension easier than any Corvette before or since. My only dislikes were that frame beam you had to lift over to get in and out and the electric ride control which never worked like I thought it should. It was fun to drive and the last convertible Corvette I've owned. The C5 was a magnum step up in design in my opinion, but the C4 was a ball to drive!

As a friend of mine found out, that hood is both a feature and a bug. A relatively light front corner hit effectively destroys the hood and both front fenders. On an older C4, that translates to a total loss once the insurance adjuster prices it out.

What is wrong with you 1willy? Seriously get over it already. Black02 and I disagree on like 75% of things, but we manage to not be total a$$hats towards each other.
Who cares that he likes the mx5? Who cares that he supports equal rights for the gay community? Maybe it's different in Canada, but here in the US it's actually honorable to respect those with different opinions than yours, and defend their rights regardless.
It's just uncalled for and childish for you to cloud up every thread with hate and immature attempts at insults.
PS, the 911 sucks, corvette for the win!

Why are you attacking me and not him?
hes been going around in various threads calling me a scammer trying to make it hard for me to do business here, NONE of it has any base AT ALL.
It is more then just disagreeing , he has made it very personal by spreading slander around, and if you have a problem with anyone it should be him and not me.

Think about it, you're taking this to the point of contacting vendors and telling them stuff about him. What is your goal with that? Do you want him not to be able to get parts? Your ONLY goal is harm, how immoral can you get?

You are delusional. There is no need to make this personal either. If you want to contact the vendors, fine. As I mentioned, you only look foolish towards them. I know you really, really want to make a point here, but you have none to make. Instead, you just continue to make yourself look more and more like a fool each day.
It sounds like your goal is to try to ruin my reputation and not allow me to get parts. Even though it sounds like you are doing this in your mind, in reality, you're only further ruining your own reputation and your ability to buy/sell on here.
The biggest part of being a good buyer/seller is how you approach things when there is an actual problem. Yes, I've had issues selling too at times. The difference is that I value my reputation enough to not waste days when it comes to shipping and if something does go wrong, then my reputation is worth more than a couple of bucks to me. In your case, a few rolls of tape and some shipping charges was enough to flush everything you had down the drain.
In closing, 911 for the win.

It's clear that you have your own issues, so take it to PM. He didn't call you a scammer until you continually attacked him with unwarranted BS.
The transaction you made seemed very fishy, I don't think you were trying to do anything wrong, but it seemed fishy as hell from an outside perspective. PayPal told the guy "the money is in your account, he should have shipped already" so he got worried. Seemed fishy, most people here will agree.
I'm just saying, you don't have to follow up every single post he makes with an attack. He doesn't care, no one cares. Please keep the forum clean and relevant.

all im doing is speaking the truth , and that seems to infuriate you, which is not my problem.
I have screen capped your support for filing claims after 3 days, so if you feel that can ruin your reputation then maybe you should of thought of that earlier.
You always reply with vague riddles, insults and lies, and I will just stick to the truth

First of all your bias , one sided argument is only clogging up the thread further, so take your own advice and keep it elsewhere.
You are twisting everything in favor of your buddy and you shouldn't do that, hes called me a scammer now in 3 threads, so smarten up and stop making a fool of yourself.
And great, since you agree with him ill go ahead and add your name to the list as well, you wont mind telling the vendors that ahead of your transactions correct?
I mean since "everyone" seems to agree with you why would u be worried right?

Seems a lot like you're asking him to roll over and agree with you, or you will do him harm. We can call it simply a threat if you would prefer that term.

You have information (at least you think you have information) that can be used to harm someone, and have made it clear that you can, and will, use it to do them harm if need be.

Now the real blackmailing is you trying to gang up on me and slander me , if I don't do what you say, which is to keep his secret...a secret.
Anyways, ive got better things to do , my problem with black02 was our business, but you seem to want to get involved and create more strife with your b.s, which im not going to engage in any further.
I have more respect for him then I do for you at this point
Im not posting in this thread anymore , out of respect to the OP, weve already taken his thread way off course and that's not fair to him.
