Default Lets Network! :)

Hey guys, I just moved out to Cali, and am realizing how awesome networking with one another is, especially with other corvette enthusiasts!

I was just thinking that we could start a thread and everyone could take a second to give there name, what they do, hobbies, what they are interested in etc.

So I'll start off:
My name is Jason, I work in Beverly Hills right now for an Adwords marketing agency. I am involved with some real estate development back in Mi where i am originally from, but would love to get involved with RE development out here.

nice to meet you all!

I'm not sure if most will admit it but most of the guys on this forum are Corvette Junkies They'll network with you if it has anything to do with Corvettes.

Welcome to So Cali jkypes,

So far, people seem to be a little shy on your thread here. Allow me to help a little.

I'm pretty sure ThreeD doesn't know anyone in MS, but I could be wrong. ThreeD is incharge of making sure those little sail boats are properly moored in the Santa Barbara harbor. He also makes sure that no tiny protected birdies hijack barges outside of his authority.

Dirty Howie is the local witch doctor. As in which other doctor is available. He's been known to have 'post tramatic stress disorder' from his battle days at the track. Hopefully, there's no patient under his scalpel during one of his "flashbacks".

TriTip likes has a very interesting position with a well known manufacturing company of hi tech products. I can't remember exactly what that product is, but it's either computer trigger devices for atomic energy or nail polish. Anyway, he's a "closet waxer" which means he only waxes his vette in a closet or not at all.


That's just a couple of "who's who" in so Cal

Had a senior moment and forgot that I was going into the most treacherous turn at BW raceway.........so I wound up embedded in the tire pilons off track. But I was still able to race the rest of the day.

THERE!!!!!! HAPPY?????? ......

Well we certainly would not want you to not know the Frenchican.

WOW where do I start
.

Born in the south... and I don't think it was the south of France, little Tom Tom grew up to be the pillar of his community. He enjoys watching his cars being waxed, apparently Viagra (But we won't go there), driving on the beach and purchasing a C6 Z06 Corvettes while under the influence.
Known as the great humanitarian of Oxnard he treated the entire city of Oxnard and some of Ventura with a pre 4th of July fireworks show leaving homes with blown out windows some 5 miles away.
Another passion is his music. Seen here he entertained the masses at that Rydell Car show last weekend. He is available for parties.




Now who is going to explain Pool Boy???

The Pool Boy is the waxer's waxer. He is the Maven of Microfibre and the Angel of Armor-All. He's known far and wide as the driver of the famous "Weekend Vette", and nothing about him says Wicked. His best friends are both named Chip and he takes them where ever he goes. You can find him in an M3 during the week, but on those weekends, the C5 is out and about. He's also a fanatical C6 hater (at least the front end).

But he's not all bad, he's growing his silver locks to make a wig for kids with cancer, we all just wish it would grow faster so we could cut it off already.
