Will the real Hib please stand up? I just purchased some old vette magazines on ebay (1988-90 vintage) and just realized you are one of the article writers. Your sure have been involved with vettes for a long time. Sure glad you are an active member on this forum.
The "real Hib"?
Who the heck is that, anyway?
:cool
Thanks for the kind words.
I too am amazed that this near-four-year-old thread is still active.
At this point in time, I'm actually working for "Corvette Enthuaist" magazine on a contract basis. I decided to do some work for them based on the original opinion I developed at the SEMA Show back in 11/04. It was a good decision. The people who produce "CE" are good to work for and have genuinely care for our hobby.
The last comment in the "original, 2004" part of this thread took me to task for calling "Vette" a "pillar of inaccuracy".
Ok.
That was a bit strong, I admit.
My seeming "anger" over the issue was driven both by 1) my tendency to try as hard as I can to get facts correct and 2) my being a (2nd gen) ZR1 owner, first, and a writer second.
My position maybe should have been that that old "Vette" story had some mistakes in it and Vette could have done a better job.
That said, I still feel that, if I had to buy a subscription today, either "Corvette Enthusiast" or "Corvette Magazine" would be the only two in the running.
