Edit - Hell, I can't tell, but this looks like it happened sometime between post #228 and #259 in this thread.

looks like it's been sprayed with fake snow.

After a cut-n-buff she'll be real purdy.

Those pictures of it painted white were taken before he painted it black again.:ack:

I'm just glad he parks away from the other cars so his doesn't get dinged up. :rofl:

I still think this is some kind of marketing experiment/test.

It's difficult to believe that anybody here is actually from Evansville.

That car belongs to Joey Elliott, graduate of Evansville Harrison High School and all Big Ten quarterback at Purdue University, currently the starting quarterback for the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Joey left the car with his former room mate, Jared Zwilling, star center at Purdue and an Evansville Central High School graduate, when he left for Canada. Jared has been customizing it to impress Elliott's sister while Joey was gone for the season.

Joey should be in for quite a surprise when he returns to Evansville from Winnipeg. The word on the street is that Jared even deleted Joey's custom ash tray cup which had been converted to a holder for his pirate earring.

None of this really matters because Jared's current plans are to paint it in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers colors and restore the earring ash tray cup to avoid litigation. Sadly, Joey's sister never noticed anything different about the car.

:lol:Is this for real?

Because this guy....

AAHH ! the new stealth 2011

Of course he doesn't look the same. That's Joey's Uncle Bumps, who is not related to Jared, who is pictured.

Bumps was formerly a top executive with American General Finance at the corporate headquarters in Evansville, but it hit the skids with the AIG Wall Street scandal. He is semi-retired now and helps out Jared to make sure that the rapid conversions go smoothly.

One reason that the car has been "painted" frequently is that in Joey's absence it has been used for homecoming parades at three different high schools with three different school colors. Bumps was trying to help Joey's sister organize the parades. Jared agreed to take charge of the car to impress sister, all with the hopes that Joey would put in a good word for Jared with the Blue Bombers if Jared doesn't catch on with an NFL team next season.

There was full coverage in the Evansville Courier & Press about the generous contribution of Zwilling and all the Elliotts that addressed the lack of true convertibles available for parade purposes in the Tri-State area:

Jared is having the restoration work done by an independently owned Earl Scheib Body & Paint shop in Naptown that survived the Scheib corporate dissolution last summer so that everything will be done up to Joey's standards, absent the customary corporate paint guarantee usually associated with Earl, of course.

Sister is temporarily moving the car seat to a Plymouth mini-van across the river in Henderson, Kentucky, but will likely wind up in Dayton, Ohio when the parade scene dies down for the winter.

Despite all the job losses in the TriState area that resulted from Wall Street scams, Bumps is trying to catch on as a river boat captain with Casino Aztar but keeps pitching in with any Corvette stuff he can help on in the interim.

I like how you posted a 404 with all this crazy sounding stuff. :lol:

:rofl::rofl::lol:

That's the best line of :bs I've heard in quite a while.

You know, he had me going also up until the Earl Scheib part. As crazy as this car looks, nothing is out of the question. :lol: Then again, even Earl Scheib could improve the looks of this car.

where have ya seen a walmart employee driving C6?

Ya know, in 25 years some kid will be all :willy::willy: posting on the forum asking whether Captain Lees, sodablasting, or razorblades is the best way to remove old paint on a corvette.

Fact : I live near Evansville and have seen this car during several transformations .
Fact : I know of the person that drives this car , his profession , and where he works .
Fact : I will not reveal that information on a public forum .
Fact : I do not understand why it has gone through this many changes over the last two years .
Fact : I do not believe your story about it's history and Purdue connection or it being used in three high school parades .
Fact : If you can prove to me ( and the rest of the forum ) that your story is factual , i will gladly applogize . But , until then , I call :bs
