It's a pic taken up at initial startup when the guages sweep and the DIC displays, "CORVETTE BY CHEVROLET". Happens often... don't get too upset

Default Dear Aaron

Dear Aaron,

I'm the douchebag you speak of. I'm so glad that you're very interested in my car and spend all of the time in your day stalking my profile. Notice that I did not say that the car was going 150mph on the caption. Also notice that the picture of the Cadillac is not mine. I also like the pics you had on the profile of your maxima. What kind of Corvette driver are you? Get a life. Once again, thanks for you interest!

-Mark

Notice the kph and MPH lit up at the same time, kinda dead giveaway.
I also don't get people who get upset over these things, even if he did take the pic for real so what? Maybe he was at a track, maybe he was on the autobahn or maybe a runway, of maybe he's like many people here who at some point nailed it on a deserted stretch of highway.
Chill out mang!

My gauges sweep, but it doesn't say corvette. Just says whatever setting I had it on last time, which is usually coolant temp. Any ideas why mine doesn't say corvette?
