If you remove 90% of the 'what kind of tires' ' 84 or 95?' 'will C6 wheels fit' and my favorite still on the front page of CF 'what kinda polish ya'll using' threads, then we're about equal.

Believe me I am no great fan CF but to think they are any where near equal well this place has a long way to go before you can make that statement. On the other hand the moderators here have got them beat by a mile.

The initial rush of freedom has passed, but know this.....

What will replace it is a resource for Corvette owners, where we can share our knowledge, ideas, and comaraderie without constant fear of making a misstep.

And the fun and games aren't going anywhere either. There's still a lot of fun left to be had.

It's a great place if your feeling down and have the need for some pucker marks on your ass.

The thing that the mods never understood at CF, at least in C4 Gen, is that we had a comraderie going in there and that not ALL threads had to be about the C4 itself. It's GENERAL, and therefore could be about the C4 owners themselves which may include other interests and a little fun thrown in. Dipshits need to be put in their place. If you want CAR talk only, that's where TECH would come in.

Think about it, most threads in C4 Gen, if you really wanted to crack down, would not be about Waxes (move to Auto Detailing) or Wheel fitment (Move to Tires/Wheels) or any Technical repair questions. C4 Gen would then be religated to only "Look at my Car, ain't she puuurrty??"

Hence the 'C4 of the Month'


Another rant- can you believe how many people go on a forum and comment without reading? A forum is about READING, not just half-ass spewing your thoughts. Get a phucking twitter account for that ya idiot!

Exactly Dan. I didn't realize (according to the mods at CF) that Corvette ownership was such a serious matter

Besides all of the above, I still have both accounts. And I see most of the names here who still post on CF. The resources here will be rich someday if we continue to discuss our problems and triumphs, but until then there's nothing wrong with dipping into the other forums resources. This is a great place and if we let it die then we deserve CF alone.

For now, this place gives us an outlet to say what we would like to say in CF but can't. Therefore, I will be in both places but would like to see some more growth here.

To be honest, the C4 tech for as old as that place is (CF) is weak compared to DC, Guru and Action Center. Maybe it's the age and shear post count, but seems for every 'Here's how to' there are 100 'how do you' posts to filter through.

If you would post on CF what you posted here you would definitely be in BAN CAMP already. So you had better hope this forum does well or you won't have anywhere to go when CF gets rid of you...This happens every year with all the forums, most can't drive there cars this time of year, and until they can get there cars out they start to loose interest in the forums toward the end of winter..Traffic will pick up again once we get out and start running around and have something to talk about.......WW

I had a class in Costa Mesa Saturday Morning and took the Vette. It was 52 F, a little chilly for top down motoring, but that is what jackets and gloves are for.

On the way back, it was 74 F, until I hit Calabases, then it went up to 80 F. I feel great

Alright, I admit it, the only thing SoCal is good for is the weather.
