More honest advice on minor problems - than you will get at a dealer.

Agree 100%!

I also like when you can't find something on search engine someone will know where to look.

bobeast

Agreed. I have to say though. For some reason the forum search tool almost never returns what I'm looking for.

Ironically, if I google the same request, not only does it return useful results, but those results invariably lead to a thread in this forum!

The owners of the forum could use a Google search engine to make life easier. But, the forum is where I always end up for answers.

1) Read some OT stuff and laugh my a** off.

with the above. Great source of info. and many members have an incredible wealth of knowledge, helpful hints, and a great depth of experience to draw from- unless you ask for an opinion on the best wax, car color, black wheels, mods, automatic v. manual, etc.

ExRedRacer

That's easy:

Griot's product...the best.
Red...All Corvettes are red; the others are mistakes.
Chrome wheels rock, black wheels look like something's missing.
Corsa exhaust, tune, intake

See?

rsparks64

Here we go. Agree with everything but Corsa, or even Borla. They sound fake/synthetic to me, although not quite as bad as glass packs.

ExRedRacer

Glass packs!

Now that took me back to the 70's when I put some side pipes ((glass packs, of course) on my '74 Camaro Type LT. Thought I was hot stuff...

The thing that I find the most valuable, is the answers are usually from people that have real-world experience with the problems and solutions.

Most of the time if a response is just speculation, the poster will acknowledge that, so you can filter the advice somewhat.

There's also a lot of very smart, well educated owners on this Forum who don't mind sharing, even if it's just their warped sense of humor.

Seldom is free advice ever this good.

The value of this forum, to me, is the endless entertainment. Advice is not usually what I come here for, but I'd be a liar if I said I hadn't picked up a thing or two since I joined.

The forum search function is useful at times because it is quick but if you need more than just superficial assistance Google is the way to go. But since the answers are here you can force Google to only return answers from here. Just add 'site:corvetteforum.com' to the end of the string.

Try: rattle top c6 site:corvetteforum.com

We all had these problems and learned the hard way for the repair, so isn't good idea to pass it on to others.

I really enjoy coming to a forum where everyone understands the Corvette addiction.

I have learned a tremendous amount from the DIY threads and install tips/tricks for the things we like to do with our cars. CF!

Armed with only the Helm Manuals and threads from this forum, I recently saved approximately $7.3 Billion if I had let the dealership resolve my steering issue. Also installed my B&B catback in less than an hour thanks to a DIY thread here. No matter how proficient one may be, it's nice to get ahead of the curve and learn from people who've been there and done that! Helm are great manuals, but they don't teach nuances that can save you. Three cheers for this forum--Huzzah!, Huzzah!, Huzzah!

I've had multiple mechanics discredit "forum" advice, but you can't beat the group think displayed here listening to people that have dealt with the exact same problems.
