Default "NEW PHRASE"

Hi All.
I would like to go down in Corvette history as coining the phrase:

"GLASS-BIT"

I wrote and used the phrase "snake bit" and I don't think it is appropriate for
a race that does not include a blue lable car. I won't say the "F" word.

So from this date forward on the this form, if you get waxed by a fellow
vette driver, we shall call it "Fiber-bit" or "Glass bit."

Anyone that has a better phrase may submit it.... but I think this says it all!

Think Glass bit is better than fiber bit though.

Good thinking Mike! :cheers:

Perhaps in a few more years of development we will then become "graphite composite bit"! :lolg:

(Sorry, sometimes I just can't help myself!) :rolleyes:
