Also, if anyone has a favorite Corvette tuner they’ve used and are happy with, let me know who they are. Today’s article is titled “Top Ten Tuners In The Corvette World”

You can turn off PM function and remove the avatar yourself.
Years ago I used to do that to mess with people.

Yep, I believe I was one of the first to do it. It was after a short ban and after I came back and removed them Steve thought I had not had full privileges restored by the forum yet. lol

That being said, ptindall does not seem like the type to play games like that.

Jeremy Formato has probably tuned more Corvettes than anyone, but not sure if he is still active.

Easy picking is go to C7 and C6 and C5 Forced Induction Sections, the paid vendors usually jump in when anyone has an issue after mods, and of course they showcase project cars in threads.

A good tuner is more rare than an irishman that does not drink.

A "paid, professional garbage man".

Annualized, my professional furniture selling side gig pays $138,666.66 a year.

I also recall that I was only making $41k as a professional musician, so this is a radical improvement.

Are you KIDDING ?? !! It is my DREAM !!

I've only been able to lure a possum in to the yard, but hey...baby steps.

Greatness doesn't come overnight. I have a list of things to do:

Start drinking heavily
Smoke some dope
Quit my job
Piss off my mom
Get the neighbor to kick my ass
Beat up my truck when I get it back
Get detained by the police
Move out
Develop a fear of carbonation
Start word puking
Find a sweet hoarder that doesn't know any better
Buy a Corvette
Get a new drill bit
Some spacers to chuck in the garage
Document and share ALL OF IT with the internet
...and lastly, brag about how I FINALLY have my shit together.

Funny I needed one more to fill a slot and they were the last ones I just thought of, I had completely forgotten about them. You just gave me an idea for another future article, highlighting shops that do restomods, I’ll be reaching out to you sometime in the near future, thanks for the idea.

So was this a steal at $175,000? What was so special about it, looks like it just had an LS3 and some other upgraded parts.

Looks like one bidder isn’t very happy, he was willing to go to 185k.
