One of the members here just PMd me to ask about mine. I recall a thread a while back asking the background behind everyone's Forum name but don't think anyone has asked, "What is the meaning of your Avatar?"
When the Forum allowed us to start using custom avatars I did a Google search of McDonald and Corvette. My friends call me Ronald McDonald cause my first name is Ron. I found this pic on a site of a Corvette CLub that was sponsoring a raffle of a 67 Corvette to raise funds for the local Ronald McDonald house.
What's your story?

I figured I would use picture with my Mustang and Vette together, then change it when I got comments about the 'stang
in a vette forum. No one said anything so I left it.

raffle tickets were $200 for 200 tickets and an additional 10% off anything over that.

My avatar has changed a few times over the years. My first one was a pic of my car launching at the track, then it was something else with my car, then the 12 second avatar. Then my friend Keith died, so I had his car doing a wheelie as my avatar, then Mike died and that is my current one.
