I don't mean to be rude, but is this a JOKE???

We've been begging for an on-line Driveline for years and, well, there ain't one. Wait the appropriate amount of time for the outdated paper one to arrive at your doorstep like the rest of us.

And if you can't find ebay just by typing in ebay in the address bar, then you need a new computer.

Just on the chance that you aren't joking, there are any number of commercial vendor which supply new, used, and reproduction parts for Corvettes. Corvette Central, Zip, Long Island Corvette Supply, Ecklers, Paragon, just to name a few. Many have web sites with on line catlaogs. Just do a search under "Corvette parts" and you should find most of them.

1. "Driveline" url: That's a good one! Very funny!

2. Ebay url: Also very funny.

3. parts shortcut: Give your credit card number to Corvette Central, Paragon, Zip, etc.. Set up a conveyer belt from the curb in front of your house to your garage. Hire a cop to direct the UPS truck traffic. Keep telling yourself, "It's only money."

Chris, I started laughing when I read your "tounge in cheek" response - until I realized that you described my 56 and 77 projects to a Tee. I was getting nervous when my wife was on a first name basis with the UPS guy, until I realized he was a Corvette nut too. Steve

I hear you, Steve and all. At first it was like Christmas every other day and now I'm wondering if it will ever stop.

Re: Driveline/Ebay websites

I also agree. Now I have my parts delivered to my office. No reason to have the UPS guy get too friendly with my wife. She already refers to my 66 coupe as 'the other woman'. I also stopped keeping the receipts - long ago! What's the point.

Plus

having parts delivered by UPS to your office will SAVE you freight $$$$. UPS has two rate structures (one for residential and a second for commercial shipments) driven by the destination point. Make SURE you let sellers KNOW they're shipping to a business otherwise they'll assume worst case, set the package up as a residential destination (charging you the extra $$$) and 'perhaps' see a misc credit from UPS at a later date IF the driver is smart enough to correct the invoice on delivery....

Re: Driveline/Ebay websites

My UPS guy has gotten to the point that he knows when I switch projects or start a new one. He didn't quite know what to say when he saw a 1970 Cutlass convertible in the garage next to my Corvette.

I don't have them come to work as I don't want my employees knowing what's going on at my house. They already think I make too much money.

My company owns a Bush North stock car team so, car parts showing up at the door is not unusual. Also, you are right on about the business versus commercial delivery UPS cost.

UPS does great job. I got, in 01, parts directly from Zip to my house in Argentina through UPS. No wife to worry about...

Roberto,

Can I have my parts delivered to your house so my wife won't know how much I am buying? :-)
