I never understood it. Bunch of douchebags in OT.
CF for years complained about excessive waste of bandwidth, and that being one of the reasons the babe section was closed (as well as the fact that Jesse and Jim are gay) yet OT is a continuous vacuum of resources. |

Their server's time is off by about 8 minutes.
Their mods' IQ's are off as well, IMO. |

OT is why they get the ad rates. Something has to punch up the page hits... and that is what sells ad space. They got rid of Babes because it was a load on the mods. Too many people stretching too many rules... they also didn't want the Babes section to end up getting the site blocked at work sites. That is also why I won't have a Babe page here... there are just too many other sites where one can get (nearly) nekked women (or men, whatever floats your boat). |

Apex is all bent out of shape because I posted a pic of his Dune Buggy
[IMG]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff87/swiftwood/misc/apex_hdsjsis.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]ApexOversteer: Let me tell you about my Corvette love and my honest feelings on the C4. I was born in December 1972. My mother totaled the massive station wagon she drove two weeks before I was born. On the day she went into labor my father called a Taxi to take them to the hospital. Being winter in Fitchburg, Massachusetts it was snowing and the way my father tells it the guy driving the cab was a maniac. He decided then that his wife and his child were never, ever getting in a cab again and he would be driving us home himself. So, he returned home, took the Silver Pearl '66 350hp Roadster down off the blocks, had snow tires put on the knock offs by the Sears in Leominster, and I came home from the hospital in a '66 Corvette. I'll be the first to tell you that infants imprint on specific stimuli and the sound of a small block V8 running under a fiberglass body, through sidepipes certainly fits the bill. To this day, and I'm not kidding, the sound of a smallblock midyear brings the feeling of being in my mother's arms to mind. I spent my formative years in and around that car. When most 6 year olds fall of their bike, they want their mommy. I wanted to stand in the passenger side of the Vette, gripping that handle above the glove box, redline in all 4 gears please. When I was 6 I had a '66 Sting Ray. And then one day it was gone, sold while I wasn't looking. That is where my love of all cars, and Corvettes in particular comes from. In the early days of the 80's you could not get away from "The Next Corvette". Now, remember, I had lived my entire life to this point only ever knowing one body style being available at the dealerships. '81 or '82 rolled around and there was Popular Mechanics, Car And Driver and Road And Track running almost monthly bits on what was going on with "The Next Corvette". By '83 I was frantic with anticipation. Then it was out and I had to see one. I would ride my bicycle down to the dealership to see if they had one yet, at least once a week. The guys at the dealership all knew my name and I knew all of theirs. '83 passed into '84 and no Vette, not surprising for a tiny New Hampshire dealer. Then one day I came home from school and my mother got me in the car telling me she had a surprise for me. What I didn't know was that the dealership had called her the minute their first, and only, '84 Corvette arrived on the truck. When we pulled into the parking lot I could see it through the showroom window. It was gorgeous. The future made real. If you squinted it looked like a Ferrari 512BBi, but then you unsquinted and it was better. It was so wide, so low and everything was fat and hollered performance. The dealer guys, who had gathered around to see my reaction, were all smiles. I uttered my first swear word my mother ever heard (and the only one she ever ignored) when the manager turned the key so I could see the digital dash come alive. It was the only car related thing my mother and I ever did without my father. Waiting for a totally new Corvette, something I've only gotten to do 3 times in my life, is to me the greatest time a car enthusiast can live through. It's Christmas, once every 10 years, if you're lucky. The C4 was the king. ONE-F*CKING-G on the skidpad. Not even Ferrari had a car that could match that. Then a car came out and blew it out of the water, the ZR-1. Until that came out I took a lot of crap in school for being a "Corvette guy". The King Of The Road shut those kids up but quick. I make fun of the C4's because it's amusing to me, especially when people totally flip out and start taking this whole internet thing far too seriously. Rest assured that I don't actually hate the C4, or in fact any Corvette, or for that matter most any car. Just make sure you park it inside... the rest of us don't want to look at the damn eyesore.

I got sucked into one of those C4 bashing post on CF OT when I first joined them a couple years back. Ahh the feel of driving in a jetfighter cockpit (C4 any model) versus driving in a cessna 150 (C5 or C6). Would I buy a C5 or C6?????? Yea, I would if the price were right and financing it wouldn't put a crunch on other things. My dream vette was always the 67 427/4spd coupe. I didn't like the C4 when it first hit the streets because it was such a radical change in the design lines of all the earlier generations. It didn't have the hp of my dads 73 Impala SS 396ci. :sad5: First time I was able to sit in the drivers seat of a C4 (85) coupe 4sp auto was in 1985 in the Netherlands, my mind was altered for ever... I had to wait almost 20 years to full fill my desire to own my first vette, a 94 C4. Since the day I bought my 94 I have a grin from ear to ear ever time I get in the vette, that my wife still laughs about. Even with the future of our daughter's recovery I would sell it if needed. With high hopes to be able to buy another one when the opertunity shows itself. I hope to keep my C4 for many years and add a C6 to share the garage side by side with the 94!

It's not so much him per se, as non-corvette chasing away Corvette people.
Some one comes here for advice, and a place to talk about their cars and this BS is what they see. Why should they stay? It's not good for them OR the site. It's not like these non-Corvette owners are going to be buying anything from the sponsors, right? There was a big clean up a while back, a lot of knowledgeable people got banned, yet these people get to stay. What gives with that? |

It's a social networking site first, Corvette site 2nd. Whatever floats your boat. Doesn't work for anti-social people like me.
"Dude I sent u a frendz request like 3 days ago, add me to yer profile!" A good percentage of them don't even own a vette. Maybe they still buy the hats and earrings though. |

See youre point but you seem really fixated on the guy for some reason .He just cracked a joke, thats all and actually had some good things to say about the C4..
Who cares what any of us drives? Its all good man. Relax.... |

Now that you mention it, Jesse didn't have a problem with my "Post pics of the bullet-riddled dog?" posts, and the like. I asked him my self in a PM, and linked a few other posts just like it. BUT, when mod-hole went back and showed him my post from 3 weeks earlier, when I called one of the suckmoid homos a jackass (and bumped it, cause I was right), THAT was when I got the boot YUP. Hmmm... |
