YenkoDeuceRegistry, I guess i didn't realize that this site was so narrow minded that you only want posts from "SuperCar" owners. I have gotten some very useful and helpful info on this site but if that is the way you want to run your site then let me know 'cause I know how to say goodbye if "average" guys like myself are not welcome. You can email me privately if you like. Seems like I have noted some haughtiness recently from you.

WHAT!

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Yep, here we go again with a "newbie" tellin' us how to behave on the site. Hey, I've read all your posts, and, we certainly appreciate your wealth of knowledge as a dealer, but, this is not your "average" group of guys. Maybe you should think again before coming down on one of the premier contributors to this exceptional site.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

I didn't "come down" on anybody. If you read my post on 70 Nova in my next door neighbor's garage, he basiclly told me to take it somewhere else and now in one breadth tells Yountto to take his posts elsewhere and then welcomes him in the next. I am not a basher, far from it, I try to give and receive useful info but also don't need the "my car is better than yours so take your info elsewhere bs." I sincerely don't want to offend anyone so please don't take it that way and try to see both sides of the coin. Thanks.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

I think if you stick around and come to know most of the members better, you'll find that, on the whole, we are LESS "my car is better than yours" kind of guys. In fact, I find local shows, with "average" cars the worst for that kind of mentality.
Marlin was merely pointing out that sometimes people will find better "experts" on their kind of car on another site. We recognize that this site is dedicated to furthering info on "Supercars" as defined by this site. With that comes the recognition that all the answers for ALL cars are not available here. Just my $.02

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

69rs, Marlin said this site was devoted to supercars.
your quote......."I guess i didn't realize that this site was so narrow minded that you only want posts from "SuperCar" owners"......is without cause. Are you mad at Marlin because he recommended a Nova site for you to visit in a previous post? I think it was nice of Marlin to copy and paste that for you. I spent about a half hour at that site the other day and even put it into my favorites box on my computer.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Younto..You have a neat car that I wish I owned. You have posted the name of Tom Rightler as the guy talking trash from the Chevelle site. I see where you have bitched about him here but I can't see in the Chevelle site thread where you have bitched about him. He might not even visit this site. I think I would respond to his comments on the Chevelle site. Now can I have your car really cheap ?
69rsss...Take one chill pill and call back in the morning.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

I understand the purpose of this site. Is it the sole purpose? If so, and it is not to further the hobby and to provide info to those less knowledgeable than that is fine and I understand that and have no problem with it. Unfortunately, you can not always get an accurate reflection of a post from typing and reading that you can from a normal conversation, where tone of voice, inflection and even volume can indicate the other's intention of statements made. Look guys, I'm not hot and don't need a chill pill. I don't know Yountto and was even one of the ones asking for more info on his car. I enjoy this site and have gotten info I may/may not have been able to find elsewhere and I appreciate it. Shor, if you noticed, I thanked YDR for the info on the Nova website that I didn't realize existed until he said that the post "needs" to be moved there or, as I took it meant, "doesn't belong here." Well, maybe it didn't belong here but by the same token, who was it bothering? If this is to be an exclusive site for "supercar" only posts then state that in the registration and it will probably cure the problem, or maybe you don't need a site and you can all just email each other. Either way, I meant no animosity, although I am feeling some in return.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Gentlemen- Since I have joined this site, I have seen the history of two valuable LS6 cars cleared up via the discussion on this board.( The convertible and the Mystery LS6). To me that is a victory for the hobby and all involved. Although discussions at times were heated, the end result was a clarification and validation of both vehicles. I agree that both discussions should have taken place on the Chevelle site, but the posts surfaced here. Also, I'm sure those on this board that are members of both have already alerted the Chevelle boys as to what's going on. I also agree that people like me don't belong here, because I don't own a supercar. I would therefore like to thank the site for allowing us to continue the discussions freely without locking the threads. My only intention here was to clarify the background on the two cars. I have had a fair amount of experience with the supercars, but would never pose as an equal regarding information with the members of this site. An additional bonus for me from reading the posts is that Charley Lillard, in addition to being a great car guy, has quite a pleasant sense of humor.

69rsss350 you seem to have a dilema and I would like to help.My family has been around the car business for a long time. You meet all kinds of people.People that know me know that I will give you the shirt off of my back,but make me mad and I'll shut you off.I've learned sometimes that is not always a wise decision.I've burned bridges with some people on this sight because I didn't like their attitude.I wanted to get away from this supercar deal altogether. But after being away awhile I missed alot of the people I did get along with.Ilearned you have to accept people the way they are not the way you want them to be.This site needs as much positive input as it can get,from everybody!!!Whether you own a super car or not I would like to hear anybody's positive input.Knowone ever knows when you might be the guy that locates a car or a part or info someone desperatly needs.So hang in there like my dad always says let it roll off your shoulder.P.S I still get po'd.Remember guys [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Ownership of a Super Car is not,nor ever has been a prerequsite to membership and interaction on this Site, but the appreciation and passion for them should be.

All cars are even invited to participate at the Reunion.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

I think that Redeuce is now my Favorite Guy on this site and can stay even though he has no Supercar. Actually, I don't think ownership is a requirement. You just gotta like these cars. Copolocater..Can you wear a nice soft extra large shirt to the Reunion that I can use to wipe off my cars with ?

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Ya I think I can. You haven't made me mad yet!!!

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Charley, I can send an Grass skirt for him if you like:)

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

Holy Cow!!
What are you talking about 69rsss?? I merely offered another board that deals with your specific topics on a daily basis, and those members have more experience in switching to 400 sb's etc... It had NOTHING to do with any requirements of owning a supercar. Personally, I like to hear topics about supercars, from anyone with a keyboard, so I come here. If I wanted to hear about LS6 cars, I would go to the Chevelle site, Z28's? I'd go to the Camaro site - simple as that. That LS6 Rag saga just didn't belong here when there is a perfectly good forum on Team Chevelle. There is no reason to move or shutdown a topic like that, but when the instigator for that topic turned out to be from another site, then I think the debate has to switch over there.

I believe this site and it's members will help anyone who asks, regardless of what they own. That is how cars get found, and the hobby stays exciting. Most of us realize that in order to help, you need information. When we ask for info/supply info, it is not because we want to take advantage of people, but rather to compare with other pieces of info and learn something new. That is exactly how we figured out the blocks of body numbers, colors, & option groupings for the '70 COPO Novas - about 40 guys gave me their car's info, all for a good cause. We all get frustrated at times with the various people in the hobby, but like another member put it, 'I take it seriously, but not personally'. Wise perspective from someone who has been into this a lot longer than I [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

OK My $.02. I have not been a member very long. I do not own a supercar, as my name states,(far from it) But some day, I hope, with the information from this site, I will have the knowledge to purchase one. All the posts that I have resopnded to have been meet with nothing but courtsey and interest in helping. I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

To who it may concern:I am nobody,now that we have that understood,I looked in my personal important phonebook your # wasn't there.I don't remember running up to you and introducing myself at a show ,just to listen to you speak on the knowledge of supercars and hang on every word.I don't even know what you look like. I think that makes us more alike than you thought .Have a nice day.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

I think he just read Marlin's post the wrong way. It's real easy to misread posts on message boards. It's even harder to detect sarcasm.

Re: LS6 Convertible
 

O.K., GROUP HUGS all around! Let's find someone else's car to bash. Just kidding[?]
