I know NCRS dudes and those guys get bat shit with the minor minutia type stuff...staring at 50 year old grease pencil assembly marks and the proper angle in how it's applied etc. It's think it's kind of dumb. But whatever makes you happy I guess.

Whatever you’re into is what makes me happy! But for someone to tell me how or what to think is not happening!

This grease pencil search is just one more diversions in our life to take us away from our daily doldrums and problems. Like any other, it’s a personal choice how deep to drive in. An untouched original example is my favorite. I appreciate and really enjoy learning from them. And DID enjoy sharing with anyone interested. Without them how would we know how they were built, right?

These teaching tools are left for future generations to see and learn from!

I used to do Western States Corvette Council car shows. It was a 12-14 show circuit in Northern California. It was basically a detailing contest. The difference between first and second place was usually a fingerprint somewhere. I loved it for several reasons. First of all, I met a lot of great people and made many friends there. But mostly I loved it because I won a lot. From '05 to '08 I went to 34 shows and I have 19 first in class awards. Sounds silly, but it was fun.

I got the perma ban at the same time you did (as I recall there were a bunch of us all around the same time). After a couple of years I created a new user ID and post occasionally there in OT. They have lightened up a bit on VB references as long as you don't actually say Vette Barn. I have seen references to "the place at the farm forum, etc" that did not get vaporized.

He is an ass. The moderator privilege made him worse. I've been on CF since the first year of it. I stayed mostly in the C1/C2 section and would venture into OT when there actually was some quality or funny post there.

You just couldn't beat the knowledge located from the members of the C1/C2 section. Those guys would answer the same newbie questions over and over.

Masterdave was the only mod for years in the section. He was one of us more than a mod. Then this guy comes out of nowhere and starts micro-modding the section and many others. I think he is the same dude that collected the John Wayne Gacy paintings the freak made in prison.

I don't even login in there much anymore. I may read a thread or two and just move along. Those people that post in OT are just screaming for someone to pay attention to them. They aren't funny, creative or anything new there. Just.... LOOK AT ME! Pay attention to me! types.

back when i had my C5, there was a guy who would show up at our monthly shop nights (we got to use the dealer's lifts for 2 hours), and he'd spend the whole time documenting and photographing all the little nuts and bolts and stray grease marks on new C5s.

i just changed my oil and blew the bugs out of the radiator.

it's just a car, go drive it and enjoy it.

No disrespect to the moderators and admins here, but realistically it's pretty much nonsense. I can understand banning somebody for saying offensive things or posting highly inappropriate material, but in all seriousness, it's just an internet forum for Christ sakes.
Ahem.

Only this one.......I have had many conversations and interaction with several others but all were very nice. Chuck for example, another was George Diana great guys! Of course the infamously polite Jack is the best. Even Savewave and Pewter have always been level headed in their punishments or supervision. Forgot Grumpy!

My goal as well. I too try to get along, but when my morals or opinions are being told to me, I seem to get up on my toes!

And by the way, how's your wife doing? I've just changed my entire diet, in hopes of getting off the prescription drugs.....
As the chin posted above it's only a forum, nothing more.....

NAV, nobody messes with you, because they're afraid of you! A bright, intelligent, well spoken, hottie! You intimidate them......

Not the one you're referring to, but there's a mod now that is a bit of a throwback to the bad old days.
He locks threads if he doesn't like them, and enforces rules that aren't on the books anymore.
