Is it normal that there are so many people (men & women) that are crazy about corvette's and the forum? Im always on this forum even during work hrs I sometimes find it hard to concentrate because I want to know whats happening on the board. My day starts about 5am and the first thing I do is check the board with my coffee .
Is this normal or do I have a sickness Sometime's when I cant sleep I seem to pop on here to scope out the new products,builds ect. Is this what happens when you buy a vette, they neglected to mention this on the sticker price at the dealer

For about 3 years I was on it almost everyday and I really got to a point that I had to say enough is enough so now I am only on every other day.

Seriously though it can take your life over, if you have a spouse and kids you really have to be carefull not to let it take up all your time, but yes I am a knowledge freak and I love to read new things to help me with my build.

I get up around 5am every morning too and check the forums before I go to PT (and then when I get back). It's more like electronic crack, & I'm lucky it doesn't show up on the drug tests.

My fiancé thought I have a problem, but then again I am sure she would rather I look at cars than surf ****. I explained it like this; unlike sports or shopping, you just can't go spend the day looking at modded cars or accessories. There may be a car show once a month or so, but they are typically a drive and consist of stock / vintage cars with one or two FI cars if you are lucky. We are fortunate to have this type of comradery within this site vs. a bunch of people pounding their chests and bragging about how much money they have / spent.
