For those of you who missed ALL of his post.. go tot the jalopnik thread and read it.. it is of course right on top..and embarrassing as hell.

I still think it was retarded to tear the doors off with a sawsall instead of undoing the bolts etc.. but thats what most of the "journalists" think is cool, these days. Pathetic overhyped crap. (oh well it isnt as if it was carcraft after all) and I may be one of the ones in the future that remove the running gear for a streetrod, But it wont be done like this bunch of idiots did it.
"Son?" I'm pretty sure I'm older than you kid, especially since you still don't know what it means to own a Corvette. I guess having enough money to buy one doesn't really make you an "owner" after all. As for "not representing the corvette community" I hate to tell you but I have already gotten 2 PM's wanting to tag along for a Corvette Convoy. What out Hot Rod Magazine.

I pity you, maybe someday you will stop thinking you're better than other Corvette owners.

I agree - they SHOULD NOT have done that according to my standards. But it does not merit jail time according to the law.

Yea he does.. and thats part of the hype. They came here for that reason alone. More Hype, used as a substitute for creativity or substance.

They must have gotten tired of "We took the car to winkys garage and had the professionals install our custom dash *****.. then we flat-bedded the car over to joe blows custom motor shop to have our ridiculously expensive Stainless exhaust system welded up..next month we will show you how we paid them to build us a completely undrivable 900 hp briggs and stratton engine with a blower nitrous and twin turbos!!"

As many of you may have assumed, this Turtletron fellow is a bit of an amateur troll. He saw a thread posted on 4chan's /o/ (automotive) subforum, and decided to post here.

Here's a link to the thread.

I'd suggest ignoring all future posts, and he'll go away.

Well SON, (that wasnt a guess at your age, just me showing a general lack of regard for your attempts to troll here) I do own a corvette as well as several other street rods and hot rods.. All built by me. Completely by me. Paint, upholstery, engine all of it. and I didnt do it with cubic dollars either. I make less per year than a decent base C-6 costs.

Its a car, its not an icon or a legend or any of that other hyped up nonsense in your post, and a bunch of morons tearing up 10 of them with a hammer does not threaten the American way of life.

So you roll your happy fanny down there with your 2 supporters and let them put your foaming lathering rage on the next youtube clip.

To quote someone almost famous here.."Thanks for playing!"

maybe it's time for the mods to lock this thread up before some psycho asks were to mail the pipe bomb.

I hate to say it, but I know some people like that.

I don't know what that is but I'll assume it's more Corvette haters

As for Bondami you can have all the cars in the world but apparently you still lack knowledge in what it really means to be a Corvette owner. And in the time from my last post to this one I have gotten yet another PM. Two of which post here pretty frequently.

:
This quote alone made me register on this board, I cannot stop laughing, c4's make terrible track cars, even if you stuff 315's in the front the car and throw double adjustable's in it, the car still plows. This article will show how you can actually make a C4 fast on track, which means pretty much getting rid of everything on the car because it was designed in the 70's.

Funny seeing the whole C4 community rage about the whole thing, Hot Rod made a interesting article that I guarantee will sell more magazines, even if you throw a huge hissy fit about it. Also there would be no increase in hot rod subscriptions if they did a "build" on a C4, you act as if the C4 community is massive and continually growing, which it is not and in fact its decreasing(everybody wants to upgrade to C5/C6's get over it).

To David Freiburger,
Keep up the good work, love the magazine.

I will now direct your attention to the avatar <----- those are girls, sitting on the car, Real girls, I suspect if you had one (or a boy if thats your taste) you would have less time to troll. but since that pretty clearly isn't happening just keep coming back for more, you are moderately amusing.
