He was in SO. FLA. waiting for a connecting flight with his family and actually took the time to hold a 3 car tuning session. I was one of the lucky 3!!!
That was July 27th, 2001 I believe......I still haven't washed my hand he shook !!!

I can't count how many total Vettes I've tuned, but over the course of the Tuning for Beer Tours, I've had the opportunity to work on exactly 81 Corvettes, mostly from the CorvetteForum. The Orange County Tour was the 12th tour in the Tuning for Beer World Tour over a period of 3 years, not counting the brief whirlwind stop in Miami...

Ok, you guys.

You all need to understand exactly who you are dealing with. Here is a picture of the REAL Lars....
______________

______________
The CCC (group of upstanding, teetotaler, community leaders residing in Colorado near Lars cave) found him in a remote part of Denver...a true homeless sort...cleaned him up (his personal hygienic habits are questionable; I suspect he drooled quite a bit.), and helped him develop some self-respect and responsibility (the latter has had questionable success). We noted that he had a talent with a large hammer, and appreciated older Corvettes...mostly for their ability to support his back and keep him from falling over.

Lars has an evil twin brother who, we understand, has some background in tuning vehicles. We are not certain exactly to whom you folks are referring regarding this "tour" business, but we believe that it would be in everyone's best interest to place this man on an airplane back to Colorado as soon as possible. The CCC will definitely have to look into a better lock for his chain.
