Hey Jim. Good to see you back on here. Don't you love pulling up next to an EV and revving you engine to show them how many dinosaurs you are killing? We might get some help with SSI this year. they are talking 7% or so

BTW you member number was #3363. I've been around a little longer. Mine was #799

Why talk to Patrick.. He disgraced DC costing members time and money with a due soley to his procrastination, Guldstrand build that never happened. Instead of apologizing, attempted to put the blame on Dick, which I would not allow, then changing my name and access, but keeping my copyrighted posts up. Coup de grâce, selling DC to a conglomerate that has no care or concern over it's numerous online forums.

Other than that, nice to hear from you. Torch is a stand up guy and can get you back in the flow. A shame DC is a mere shell of its former self.

C'ya infrequently, but on any thread I'm in if you want to contact me. Still doing Vette work as usual.

Downside to 7% increase in SSI is that it’s going to broke so much quicker.

 

[c5d]

7% SSI, worthless when inflation is at 9%, in reality 30% increase in everything necessary to sustain life, AND everything you normally bought now reduced in size 1/3 as well.

Why I bought and still have my '84 Z51. First production car to achieve 1G. 36k on the clock now.

Bought my '77 L82 4sp., knowing where the '78-'82's were going, low HP, plastic to the max interior. Looking for my next toy, heading to Ferrari. Caught the '84 VIP unveil, L.A. Convention Center. Perfect, Vette's back in play, drove directly to Clippinger Chevy to order Blue with Black leather interior. On delivery, my GF was so impressed she ordered her Silver on Silver Z51.

C'ya a 1G.

Manufacturers must think we are stupid. They use the same size packaging and put less in it and then charge more for it

 

[Triple dizzle]

Well they had people lineup for a non vaccine.

Greetings all, guess I was late to the party (joined in 2017) so evidently missed most of the controversial events I read about. But I do like this forum very much and everyone I have messaged with have been most helpful! I have gotten many tips and ideas here and appreciate the time spent documenting their knowledge. So, on a positive note, I plan to hang around here as long as I'm able! Working on a few more posts about some of the bad parts and rabbit holes I've been down, and I'll make an effort to keep them as short as possible. I have a tendency to get carried away with all the details....Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone here!

 

[The Torch]

Don't worry about keeping them short. Lay out all the gritty details

I know my number was pretty low. Do you happen to know what it is?

Thanks.

(From your original post)

Check Tesla stock.. Gas powered vehicles are on their way out. No younger generation coming up to enjoy America's only sports car. Kids don't need to, or want to, learn how to wrench.
