I have to tell you guys about a tread on the Dodge site that I have been frequenting while I am building the "non corvette" car I am working on. Someone started a thread about owning anything other then a chrysler product was a stupid thing to do. Some of the guys on that site are so bias to only chrysler products its sickening. I hadnt told anyone there that I owned anything other than a dodge, not because I was ashamed but because its an A-Body site. Now if anyone here remembers one of my first posts on this C3 site, I told the story of me not liking vettes until a few years ago when I had to work on a friends C3,  then I just fell in love with driving them. Well, I had to respond to this guys post, so I told the story of driving a vette and falling in love with them even tho I had always been a Dodge Person. I also let them know that anything can be made to run fast because if you throw enough money at any car you can build any amount of horsepower you wanted! I told them that if you let your mind open to just enjoying any car you could become very satisfied with anything. Then I topped off the story by posting a pic of the 72 in the thread! Then I waited to get blasted. Its one of those sites that a few are always stepping out of line. Well not one person blasted me or the post and I had 2 members(guess they didnt want anyone to know) actually pm me to say the car was awesome, and one guy actually responded in the thread and called it "one sweet piece of fiberglass"!  On a Dodge site! Yee-Haw

I can tell you that this C3VR site is still the friendliest site I have ever belonged to. I enjoy my Dodge site and the information I get is great, but this site will always be home!
Thanks for letting me babble on here. I miss being on here but by the time I end my day and sit down to check up on the computer, well as Ebo would tell you "he musta fell asleep". Yep Ebo, I do that on the dodge site as well as here!

I know what you mean. I used to go on Cor_____ Forum and there was always some wise ass on there and there was all kinds of arguing, I don't need that. This site is and always was very friendly and helpful. I don't go on that other site anymore!

Rodney, that was very nice. I'm glad you weren't blasted. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion (except ebo), but it can be done without offense. C3VR is a class site with class people!

I'll go ya one better....
I'm also on a Cadillac forum, since I'm also quite found of Caddyracks. We have a guy over there, long time member, high post count.....does NOTHING but bitch & moan about Cads...and he's got 3 of them. Whazzupwiddat?
On my Goldwing forum, we have a feller that werks for Ford Motor Co in Detroit....die-hard Fordnatic. Anytime I post anything about any Corvette, he's right there. Not really bashing, just trash talk.
My personal timeline was this...
I started out a huge Chrysler guy. Had a '66 Hemi Charger, and thought Chryslers were da just the cat's Meow.
Then I moved on to....Ford. Couldn't get enough. Had a sweet 63 1/2 Galaxy 500 w/427 Medium riser...undefeated in street racing. Then on to the Musturds I went. Had 7 early Mustangs('64 1/2-'67) when I moved to Dallas in '86.
Then....I got smart.....now I'm all GM....
2 Corvettes--2 Cad'lacs--1 Suburban...

To each his/her own...it's all Gud!

Joel, gotta ask. Is the caddy's red! Were your Ford's red. And the most important question, was the mopars red. Just gotta know. Rodney

EXACTLY! Its all good. I'm happy to seen anyone driving any muscle car on the streets. I don't car what brand it is. I like models from each of the big 3 and shoe-boxes and early rods etc etc etc. Shoot, I want one of each!

My Christmas present to ME! Bought Sat 11-30-2013. 72, 350 4 spd, Silver with blue interior...Can't you just hear Pablo Cruz playing in the background?

 
Rodney...that ONLY werks on Corvettes....
But...since you asked..the Hemi Charger was green....the Galaxy was crap brown(also had a '67 Galaxy 500 that wuz blue/white), the Musturds were multicolored...primer grey, green, blue, white....take yer pick!   Had a '75 Torino that was black with an all white interior...pretty rare combo.
The Caddys? Mama's am pearl white, mine am green. The 'Burban is a custom two-tone Blue/tan.
So THERE!

There are only two types of vehicles, those with tops that open and those that don't!  I prefer the ones that open.  Even my mountaineer has a moonroof(no Joel, I haven't mooned from it, to the delight of all)

I owned a 56 Chevy street racer in the bay area (San Pablo, Richmond all the way down to Fremont for those non-Californians).  That car was so fast it almost killed me more than once. Actually it was because I was so stupid with racing it.  Sliding sideways at 80 mph down a rain slick freeway in Oakland CA does not speak highly of ones intelligence and I went to college.

Since C3VR is my first baby, I love to hear people talk about how much they like it and how everyone here is so nice.  That is seriously my number 1 concern here - everyone is nice!

Yer "baby" is a teenager now....it's only normal to expect some rebellion, attitude, and a few door slams.....
With that being said...let me be the first to do so.....
And LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!




Along with what everyone else has said, one of the things that keeps this place fun to come to is....MOST of us have a great sense of humor.....

Hey Adam, I also like your cleaver and witty lead-ins on the Facebook site to some of the pictures and topics that have been posted on C3RV.  They are really funny and attention grabbing.

God  Bless, rick

I was just telling this to my kids today, how nice everyone is on this site.  The other sites I visit, use, invade seem to have at least one member that is snarky if not down right rude.  As far as I can tell I'm the biggest jerk on here!

Thanks. It's all part of my master plan to drive as much traffic here as possible.

Sounds great, Joel.  After hitting GM, Ford and Chrysler I hope you're done moving on.  Hate to see you "move on" to a foreign make.   Personally, right now I have a Chrysler 300, Ford Ranger 4X4 and Chevy Corvette, so I've got all the U.S. major mfg. covered.    Larry

My first car was an '81 Chevette.  Probably one of the worst cars in the world!!  But I was 18 and it was (almost) new, and I loved it.  It took me across the country several times during my first few years in the Navy.

I never saw the sense in getting all worked up about what someone else drives.  People love what they love, and you can't map a man's heart when it comes to cars or women.  A little friendly car rivalry can be fun, but calling someone stupid because they don't drive brand X is, well... kinda stupid. 

I try to not even pick on the "fast and furious" young crowd.  At least they've got their head under the hood of a car, rather than in a video game.
