Default Ls1Tech long timers where are you?

I come and go through here looking at the threads of late and miss the great knowledge and conversations that were present in this section in the past.

Those that do post here now hardly have any post counts and all the guys from 10,9,8,7,6,5,4 years ago have disappeared. It seems as though Jr. high season is open here now.

I'm coming up on my 10 years and I have to agree with you. People get older, move on, get vettes, etc. It's been commented before, but the cost of 4th gens are dropping and everyone and his grandma can get into one now..

No worries!

We are all still here. Some browse, some just search and find project ideas. Others actively share. Life gets busy after 25, what ya gonna do?

Definitely understand the moving up in the foodchain. The 01 WS6 is now gone along with the college apartment. But have a nice house a great wife and a short crew in the driveway and a 06 GTO on jackstands these days "10 years later". And my wife just thought I was joking when she saw my brother and I building the 6.0 for t/a in my living room when I we were in college.



Glad to see there are a couple still here every now and then I see a post from nineball this sites great founder. I guess we all just lurk here these day's and comment sparingly..

Many just wait for the chance to pounce on a newb.. And that's pretty frequent as of late.

I see lots of 10yr banners in posts.

I should be one but I lurked for a year or two before I joined when I had my LT1.

I still find this site the best source of information on the 4th gen and enjoy daily visits to the Texas section and a few others.

I no longer own a 4th gen and am getting too old to go to "meets" or join a "car club".

But I do cruise through once in a while.

Wow, No 4th gen for you? Never thought I'd see that. Haven't seen you on the boards in a while.

Once the z06 is sold I'll probably turn into a lurker like some of the others .

It's almost been 5yrs for us. Currently building a 2000 Z-28. I'm on here every day. A lot of time in the classifieds searching for deals. That has payed off well so far. We are close to being finished with it. The quality of a post / thread has gone down for sure. I read the good ones and ignore the BS.

Most of my posts were in the handling and detailing sections, but since I don't own a 4th gen anymore, I don't have much to contribute to those conversations. I still lurk and post now and then, but mostly I come in, browse, and leave.

I come in and read occasionally and mostly leave with a "facepalm" effect. The crucial knowledge that was present on this board early on has certainly degraded. It's a shame too but like all things change, so does the demographic of ownership for any performance car genre. If you want to feel better about it though? Go read the drivel at Camaro5.

I lurked for a while bedore i joined so my its not been ten years. I think They got tired of being over run with ricers and the geniuses with v6s that think they run 10s cause they have a k&n filter. They they bought sport bikes or at least that's how it went for me.. I think I put 12.4 miles on the ss in the last two years
