Long story short, I had been involved with Corvettes for many years because there was no Ford "sports" car. I knew the guy that started Corvetteforum from our local gatherings, and when the GT finally hit the streets, there was no forum for it. I thought about what a cool life he led post-Cforum startup, just living in that world. I had the opportunity to drive an early CP car and was hooked on the virtues of the car. It was about 400 leagues above my Z06.
There were sites like SVTperformance where people talked about the car, but not one with any who actually knew anything about the car, and even less with anyone who owned one. Mulled it over, waffled over the time and effort it would take (I didn't know anything about this internet stuff when I started), said what the hell, figured it out in a weekend, and here we are today. Found a couple guys I knew with the car, directed em this way, and let word of mouth run it's course. Ended up hooking up with quite a few of the GT team guys because of the site, and it became the place to be for FGT guys...

Thanks for the insight! Thanks for all that you have done to make this such a great place. In fact today, one of our forum members, "Centerpunch" drove over 200 miles in the snow from Cincinnati just to meet me in person. If it wasn't for the Ford GT forum, there are many new friends out there that I would have otherwise never met. Job well done Dave!
Thanks!!
I am somewhat amazed,you have run such a cool forum, I was sure you were going to say you had run several of these before.
Are you a born blue kid and all ways in Detroit?
Many thanks to you!! The forum has just become better and better. With great comedy and insight of our cars. I think I came across the sight a week after I recieved the car and had so many questions and no one to call.
So Cheers to you. Time for a drink. It's been a tough week being a Ford dealer.
:cheers :cheers :cheers

Dave has done a great job with the forum. I am on it at least 30 times a day. I think of everyone on here as a friend, and I enjoy all the posts and insights that are shared on this forum. Unlike many other forums, this forum has people from many different walks of life. The brotherhood here is fantastic, and I am very grateful for all the time and effort that it took to create this forum.
I know Dave is too much of a gentleman to keep asking, but for those of you that have not done so already, I urge anyone that actively participates here to consider upgrading their account with a paid subscription. It helps to keep things running here. It's a great way to say thank you, and a great way to ensure that the forum stays active for many years to come.:thumbsup

Yea, what they said. I will add that the forum helped me out very much with my decision to buy the FGT. Eshrink in particular was one who helped me with my FGT madness!

I also wish to thank you for the forum. I enjoy reading everyones ideas, concerns, and experiences. I can't wait to get my car from the Genaddi Group! And because I love the car so much, another may be in the works. Because 2 is always better than 1! :cheers
