Default FRESH START

I am garagedweller, i am a stupid asian kid who started a big mess in the c3 forum by calling late c3s ugly. I am 13 as all u ppl should know. My favorite 'vette is a 65 sting ray fuel injected. its fast and it handles. for brute straight line performance 454 or 427(zl1) is the king (stock no mods). i loved vettes ever since i got a book on them. some guy named dafman from the road and track magazine forum reccomended this site. Before i get my license
i want to a: see a c2 and c3 in person.
b: memorize vette codes and specs
c: learn from the best
d:learn engine parts and how 2 repair them
PLEASE GIVE ME A 2nd CHANCE! I WONT DISSAPOINT YOU.
Good Nite and email me :)

You sound like a nice young kid.;) Stick around and you'll learn something.

Try clicking on the banner in my signature and go read the 650+ pages of original Corvette tests, reviews and articles and get yourself up to date so you can give me some advice one day about dropping a 454 in my 1980.

:cheers:

Alright dude, it's all good. Just stick around here and you will learn a ton by reading. You can also read the C1 & C2 section. If you REALLY want to memorize stuff, get Vette Vues fact books, they have every detail.

Get a small engine and take it apart and rebuild it.

Ask questions!

First lesson learned well.

Despite the three day tongue lashing these guys unleashed on you... ..you had the guts little man, to come back on and admit you were wrong. That shows me something. Welcome. You've got a second chance from me. :yesnod:

OK, flame me, I am not a young kid, but I still say to each his own, don't like rubber bumpers, great, don't like chrome bumpers, great, let people say so and MOVE ON, life is to short to get peeved over someone saying they don't like certain cars, hell, an x=girlfriend years ago said my 67 coupe looked like a shoe, go figure. Oh, I did get a new girlfriend who thought more like me. :lol: :lol:

Welcome! Any time you're in my area (Colorado Springs for now, maybe Cali and then back to Oklahoma for SUPT...if all goes well for the next 166 days), I'd be glad to show you around my baby. She and I love questions and people looking...especially if they're interested in learning.

You can look up 1969 specifications (getting more every week) at the 1969 Corvette Registry.

(I know, shameless plug...but hey! it's for a good and free cause!) :smash:

You did a fine job of handling the situation, once it was too late :D , and have earned a second chance.

Just wanted to let you know. "Ricer" jokes, and the term "ricer" isn't a racist slander. It's not a joke about a certain race, it's a joke about a kind of car. If you have any ????'s about that whole deal, just post a new topic and you'll get all the details. Welcome aboard.
