New C 3 Members

In the past few months I have noticed alot of new members in the C3 forum section . Great to see this since we are so out numbered with all the newer corvettes in here >

Most of the C 3 cars are beautiful and we are keeping them running or building them to keep up with the new technology that has come along over the years > I could name so many new things I have added over the years but you know what I am trying to say here >

Ok enough before Patrick cuts me off here

I agree !! Great to see more C3s here !!

When I hear the word Corvette, I immediately picture a C3 or a C2. The newer ones are ok, and their technology can't be matched, but for real style, the C3 are the best !!

Corvettes are like fake tits, there is no point in paying big bucks if youre just going to stare at them.

It really is amazing what I've been able to learn from the guys on DC in only a year. The next step in my education is to try to actually help someone build/rebuild an engine. Just haven't found anyone in my area doing it yet. From what I've learned on DC, I think I could actually be more help then hinderance now

Don't sell yourself short brother. You are doing great. Engines are not all that complicated. Like I always tell newbies all a V8 engine is is 8 copies of the same thing.

Welcome to the C3 guys, you have already shown your intelligence!

All Righty Then

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something, and ask yourself two questions:

1. Have you felt and known joy in your life
2. Have you given joy to someone else ....

Tell everyone about your car!

Ive only been on here for a short time. I had been at CAC for years, but as Ive been planning my motor swap I wanted to get more opinions. I had never heard of this site, I came across it in a google search.

I planned on using this, CAC, and CF to get a whole mix of opinions... BUT this site and its members have been so great that I havent been back to the others!

Long live the C3

STYLE, that's the key word there!
I'm amazed and proud of the new young guys/gals taking an interest in our hobby! I'm all about support for them too!
I really like the reaction when I assist a young person with getting their Vette performing the way it was meant to be!
I hope that thrill never ends!!
