Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet fellow forum member Buzzdog. I purchased his Z06 NPP mufflers (modified to non-Z06 application) and M2W equipment for my non-NPP mufflers and some cash. To make the trade, I drove from Palm Springs, CA to Tucson, AZ to meet Buzzdog at his friend's race shop (another C6 owner).

Buzzdog is a prince. By the time I arrived (5-1/2 hours one-way), he had disassembled his exhaust and was waiting for me. Because he had just taken his system apart, Buzzdog knew exactly what to do to hook up the M2W and (after cooling) install the NPP mufflers. He pretended to let me help with the installation but, honestly, he just ran with the project. His seventeen year old son also pitched in. Although Buzzdog was very methodical and meticulous, we had fun working on it. He cared so much about the installation that he would not let me leave until he had taken his polisher tool one last time to the tips. Then, when I was driving home from Tucson, he telephoned my cell to be certain that the exhaust was working properly and that I was happy. (He probably also wanted to make sure I was not asleep at the wheel.)

Anyway, as a new member of the Corvette "family," I had about the warmest welcome imaginable. Buzzdog of Tucson is a great guy and a credit to this forum!

 

Great post.
It's always good to meet "stand up" people; isn't it?

 

That is a great story and a tribute to many of the great members on this forum.
