The bottom line is that the guys that we're calling "newbies" aren't all newbies with Vettes or cars. They are newbies only to the forum. They may have A LOT to offer, knowledge - wise. They may not know the old-timers around here, or the exact proper etiquette, but they also bring fresh perspectives to the table. That "freshness" is what makes this place so great and entertaining! [/QUOTE]


Right on blacksedan87. I'm a newbie to the forum, but I've fooled with Vettes more years than most of the forum members are old.

Well, even though a C6 vert is in my future, I'm keeping my 02 coupe. I think a lot of us will be multi-generation owners.

I think were losing C5 General posters period. I've been here since 2001
and I've seen almost every mod you can put on a C5, plus how many
'auto vs. manual' or 'body side moldings' threads can one take...?

I still peep to help others or newbies that have a question that I know
the answer or have had some experience with.

Of course the NEW model section(C6) will be picking up speed as more
owners acquire the car, it's only natural.

I've noticed a lot of former C5'ers going over to the C6 site also. Hopefully they will bounce back and forth and share their wisdom with the rest of us. I'm sure they have a lot to learn about the C6 also.

I think a lot of it is just curiosity. I have been following the C6 forums just to read the new owner posts!

BTW...C3 and C5 in my garage. The only way a C6 is coming is with a newer house or another lift:
