I don't understand why but the general sections of that site are filled with people, many that don't even own a Corvette, bashing the C4 owners. There was a small window of time before the C5's shipped just after I bought my car. I never felt superior to those people that owned older Corvettes and I certainly didn't insult them. Back then, there was no CF. The online community was really the alt.autos.corvette newsgroup. With only one or two trolls as exceptions it was a place where owners could share expiriences. But that is what I remember most about the first few years that I had my car, the community. I remember dyno/mod events and spur of the moment dinners out etc. The guys who showed up with 1974's in primer were as welcomed as the ZR1s sporting all the Zaino and Mother's polish. I think the C5 brought in a group of people that never before considered owning a Corvette and weren't "car guys". Maybe I'm just getting older. Maybe it's just a sign of the times. But it sure seems like that close knit feeling is gone. I won't say that I'm never going back to CF for anything but I just took it off my "favorites". |
