The worst thing about the C6
We're losing C5 general posters to the C6 side. I see that they have about the same amout of viewers as us now. That means less brainpower over here. 
The newbies that buy their old cars won't be much help for a while. God help us if Patches and others like him buy one.

Holy crap! Are you ALWAYS on CF?! I though you had medical research to do. (Thanks for keeping Evil in check.

That's just another reason that they should have called it an evolution of the C5 and called it a C5. Look at all the changes they did to the C3.

I have my "more" favorite years of Corvette and "least" favorite models. Even though the C6 is on my "least" list; as long as CorvetteForum.com gets the posts, it doesn't matter to me which section they are in.

Sadly, we will be closing operations here in ~2 months. Then I may have more than enough time to go to Carlisle. So there is a silver lining in every cloud. You can hire someone and then delegate your duties to free up your time for more productive activities.

[QUOTE=dooscoop32]Call me crazy but I thought by the title of this thread that it was going to ask opinions about what is the worst thing about the C6. QUOTE]
I haven't formed an opinion as yet. Plan to look at one in detail this weekend. The only Vettes on my worst list are the 1976 thru '85 years. No Verts!

You know, it's kind of funny.... I've noticed the make up of the C5 General crowd seems to have migrated to a bunch of new folks - but having been around a little over a year myself - I didn't know if this was a cyclical tendency.
I guess I'll be around for a long time (for what that's worth!
) since I plan on holding onto my C5.
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!
