The most entertaining thing is blowing the doors off of some kid at a light that has spent more on making the car look fast than he has trying to make it fast

No offense to punk-a$$ kids, btw. I was one once. We didn't drive rice-paddy racers though.

Mmm... corvettes... my Father was a charter member of the Glen Region Corvette Club out of elmira way back in the day when he had cool cars.
I got my bonnevilles now cause at the time I was falling inlove with a car (read: 16 yrs old) a corvette was too much for me, and so a bonneville had to suffice.
Welcome to the club. you'll find more information here than you can even ponder.

I love this site too. not long after I joined, I hosted a meet here in MA. It was a great turnout. 10 Bonnevilles cruising the streets of Melrose and a bunch of GREAT guys willing to jump in and lend a helping hand with anything.
Props also have to go out to the Admins and Mods here who do the fine job of keeping things in check while always showing mutual respect to everyone.
What a great asset this place is to Bonneville owners!!

So I'm not a punk? And yes, these members are very sick and twisted. Jim still scares me a little bit, yeah, Jim, you know why.

Welcome aboard, and hope you enjoy the show. Nice to see someone with a chrome bumper big block Vette, and a Vert to boot. What else could you ask for, a Bonne and a Vette.
Good group of people here but they do get out of hand once in awhile.
