Default Wow...Corvette General is a different group than Tech!

Whew...I'm getting killed over there.


I knew I would, thought I'd put this up as a goof.

For those looking for a little light hearted fun to break up the day, click above.

I'm gonna make this my sig picture I think.

I think it would be cool for a tail gate party!!

By the way I love your car!!! I wish I had a convertible!! What does that silver thing on the side of your car say? Also is that a grand sport, or did you do a body kit?

Either way, I love the car!!

Thanks!

Factory Grand Sport kit. I have to say...one of my favorite mods. It really changes the character of the car.

Here is a ton of pics and info on the conversion.

Everytime I post over there I get reminded why I stopped posting in that forum to begin with. I truly believe tech/perf needs to be a completely different web forum.

Call it Covette-Tech.com, or something like that.

I'm amazed the difference. But I'm laughing how upset folks get over it. One guy said I don't deserve a Vette.
