How about a why I did join. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

We Gone · 04-13-2014

I joined many years ago, and could care less about all the politics.

1. To give back a small amount to the origination that has given so much to the ZR-1.

2. The price per year is nothing not even a tank of gas.

3, The information given here is priceless, Sure I could get it all for free but I'm not a taker or user of others and beleave everything has a value.

4. I only hope I can give back something to those who have helped me enjoy my passion for this special Corvette.

5. Much of the technical information on the ZR-1 can only be found here, that has value.

6. Finely thanks to all here who help us out when in need.

Your Comments Welcome.

Those are the same reasons that I joined. I have never regretted doing so!

I thought owning the car was going to be the draw. Turns out owning the car is the thrill. But meeting you guys, the guys that keep the spirit alive... that's the draw. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Price of admission is a non issue considering the content.

Being a part of this Community and paying my dues is one of the very best decisions I've ever made, regarding my car hobby.

* The technical information is priceless
* The friends and acquaintances I've made are life lasting
* Helping and getting help = KARMA

I look forward to the annual events and seeing and meeting more people with the same interests as my own.

Thanks, Steve ...

You started an excellent list of reasons to join, and there are many more, I'm sure. When I purchased my Z, I quickly realized that I needed to network with other owners for many reasons including tech support, maintenance info, and perhaps more importantly, the "brotherhood of the beast". As luck would have it I was searching the 'net for a group that might meet these needs and the current ZR-1 Net Registry was organizing at that moment ... I suspect that member #14 was close to the first day of founding.

Thanks Steve.

It truly is amazing the tight knit group of friends I've made over the years, spanning from coast to coast, with others who share this passion. We are not all the same, but understand one another's passion for the ZR-1, and typically will go out of our way to help another within the "family". That's what this organization represents to me.

Should enthusiasts not find what they are looking for in our community, there are other communities out there that may better suit them.

This is all about having fun, and you guys have made it just that.

I have learned so much from this site - that the dues was a small price to pay for it!
Without this place - there would be very little info on these cars. I discovered that when I was online researching them before I made the trade that got me mine.
I have already struck up some "online friendships" - and hope to meet many of you guys in person in the future.

same reason I joined and then became a mod. I don't have time to run for the board but wanted to help in some way

I was fortunate that the previous owner gave me a stack of the previous King of the Hill and ZR-1 registry magazines. Between reading all of those and everything I could find on here and the help I have already received from other ZR-1 owners I wanted to contribute to this group as well. May be a long time before I can meet up with some of you at events, but I am definitely looking forward to it. Oh and I'm lucky to have a wife that convinced me to buy this one even if during the first couple of weeks of owning it everytime she rode with me I swear she made up new words
