Got a call this afternoon, someone needing brakes on a C5. Never been there so I did a forum search for tips. That was a waste of time. Went to youtube and searched. First video I find was the Froggy how to. Great. Just wanted to say thanks for posting that up.

While you're on YT, go back to the Froggy video and then subscribe to his channel. He's got a ton of vids available to help out in many areas. Tip: use Google for searching as you'll find the stuff here on CF quicker than using CF's search.

I notice Froggy has several videos. As for searching, a bloodhound would do better than the CF search.

Thanks guys,

Feel free to comment on the YT video itself, unlike a few other automotive diy channels, I respond to questions/comments on my videos.

I am also on CF a lot mostly the General Corvette/autox & racing.

It is hard to search the forum vs just use google.

Always add froggy to the search query.

Everything I do to the family & friends cars I video just to help out. Almost 300 videos (not all Vette but mostly)

Froggy is Da Man when it comes to his DIY videos. He's helped explain many things to me about my C5. He needs a medal!!!
