Good $$ E-bay paid out

Re: Good $$ E-bay paid out

I kind of got into that while restoring the 67. Never have been to a meet I thought to get the 67 back to "original" you needed as close to original as you could get. Not realizing many of the re-pops at our vendors (LIC, Parragon, CC and so on) would most all pass judging. However when I got to the Nationals and saw many of the Corvettes being judged for Top Flight used many of the repops I was surprised. "DAMN and to think I paid $45 for a hex head "WB" original bolt when LIC had it for chump change! CRAP!!" Oh well life goes on.

P.S. David, you hit it on the head. Either way, if it is STUPID people or STUPID money, it's amazing the two got together in the first place.

Henry et al,
I hope y'all know, I mean no offense to anyone who's been caught in the eBay over payment deal. Hating to admit it, but I have most definitely been there, done that myself.

My 'STUPID' comment was all encompassing. Including myself.

Only difference in my case is that I'm STUPID, cuz I certainly don't have STUPID money, but know of those that do.

No No David, no offense taken whatsoever. I'm also in that same group with you and if truth be told the "stupid boat" would probably be OVERLOADED with fellow NCRS members and not even adding in the group from CF. Whenever someone on the board brings up Ebay and goofy sales I'm confident many, many of our fellow Corvette owners are thinking "Why was I so dumb or (stupid)" . But that's just one of the things that make this such a great hobby. There's not alot of placing you can go to and refer to your friends as goofballs or dummies and get away with it.

Take care and enjoy the Corvette,

Re: Good $$ E-bay paid out

I know one of the concerns when the board decided to put the Driveline online (as it rightly should be)was what affect it would have on our advertisers. We still wanted them to get their recognition for all the years they paid to advertise in the Driveline. Perhaps at the top of the page where the "Visit our Advertisers" button is at we could reword it to something like "Visit our Advertisers and Pay it Forward". Then put the link to Pay it Forward on the same page as Advertisers so any member going to Pay it Forward link would be taken to the Advertisers page first. That way they would be visable each time Pay it Forward was visited. Just a thought, that would need some tweaking.
