I JOINED AT FIRST OUT OF CURIOSITY AT MIDAMERICA. I'M STAYING BECAUSE OF THE VALUABLE INFO AND THE FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND MOST OF ALL THE OTHER REASONS THAT HAS BEEN STATED. AND LASTLY, IT INCREASED MY INTEREST IN THE CAR THAT I HAD ALMOST GROWN BORED WITH. I HAD ALMOST FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH I LOVED IT AND HOW SPECIAL IT WAS UNTIL I WOULD HEAR SOME OF YOU GUYS STORIES. THANKS ADAM FOR CREATING THE SITE.

1a) I became a member when I bought my Corvette and was searching for information on the web. This site had a great format and looked good as a source for information.
1b) I renewed my membership because I found this site freindly and members were willing to help answer my questions for help. I also found the members to be very nice people with a passion for the Corvette.
2) The value I get for being a member is that for the money I believe I can get all the support I would ever need on many topics and corvette news as well.
3) I don't see any other sites that would be better value and the site management is really good. All the members are really nice people with a common interest. This site is the best! Thanks for allowing me to join and I hope to meet the members at some point as I get my Corvette on the road and can join in on some of the road trips and shows.

Carl,
Hope you are planning to attend 1BadLT1 (aka Larry the Racoon) BBQ this spring. We should have a good group from C3VR there.

In 2005 I was in Kuwait supporting airlift with the C17, talking cars one day, a fella told me about a corvette website. Dont remember if it was C3VR or not but when I got home I stumbled across this group, read it for a few days and became a lifetime member.

Hmm, good reading, parts discounts, valuable info at the touch of a keypad.
3) How do you value your membership here compared to similar memberships (paid or not). In other words...what differentiates C3VR from other similar sites?

I have found that this forum has been the best place to share infomration with other Corvette owners regarding restoration and repair of C3s.

First, the excellent technical information. Secondly, the great stories and online sharing of fun details - keeps me entertained.
3) How do you value your membership here compared to similar memberships (paid or not). In other words...what differentiates C3VR from other similar sites? It is a true C3 site. Most others address all Corvettes and it seems difficult to pull out the C3 info from the discussion on everything else.

Great site, I have enjoyed it now for several years and plan to stay as long as the old red car sits in my driveway.
C3: 1979 Corvette Coupe, Auto, L-48, Red/Doeskin (my wife's fave);
C4s: 1986 C4 coupe (SCCA road race car), satin black, 4+3, Z51 package, L-98; & 1993 C4 coupe, white, 6-speed, LT-1.
I became a member when I bought my C3. I was looking for some information, and a place where I could fit in, enjoy my car, and share the joy of owning the darn thing without being obligated to meetings and outings at fixed schedules that I cannot meet.
I continue to be a member for a couple of reasons. 1. The people. 2. No problems or griping and harping or putting down others that you find everywhere else. 3. The people. 4. Having a source of information that cannot be matched anywhere else. It's a great resource. 5. The people who share the joy of their cars. 6. The people who feel like family and always help when needed. 7. The people who become family and are alway there no matter what is needed.
The answer to the last two are included in the second answer.
There is not where else where folks truely care for each other and actually become a family. The support is amazing. Not just for the cars.
I could no more stop coming here and talking to other members on the phone than I could give up my car and stop caring about the hobby at all. I enjoy sharing what I know and helping others. And I have gotten back more than most will ever realize. There is no way I can put a value on what this site and people mean to me.
Did I metion the people?

I saw the stand at Carlisle in 2006 about 5 months after I bought my Vette. I suppose I'm a nerd at heart, and I although I've dereamed of and tried to know more about Corvettes since I was a teenager, I just wanted to learn more about C3 Corvettes. Better yet, the 90 day free trial seemed too good to pass up. What did I have to lose?
1b) Why do you continue to be a member (for RENEW or LIFE members)
After being on the site for not even a year, when the prospect of "re-upping" came along and I had the money in the CIP (Corvette Improvement Fund), I figured I'd be better off just making the jump to lifetime since I couldn't see walking away from this site.
2) What value(s) do you feel you are getting by being a member?
Are you kidding me? Wow. Where do I start?
Sense of Community - I never thought I would have "internet friends," but I love "chatting" with the folks here. Posting things that you know will be of interest to others; sharing personal interests (even outside of the C3); the true caring the members show to others; and the fun, gentle "jabs" the more constant members throw at each other. Always just in fun, and always lots of fun!
Knowledge - Where else could I possibly learn so much about Corvettes and other things!
Pride - you can brag here all you want about "your baby" and everybody "gets it." It's great to be able to feel that other people can appreciate the same things you do. Nobody understands like the folks here.
Getting to Actually Meet Real People - I have met a number of the members here in person. Makes me feel like less of a nerd. Even so, many of those that I haven't met, I still feel like I know

Can't say. Like I said, I never pcitured myself doing something like this. I really do see this as more of a club than anything else. I have no need to join anywhere else.
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
