I used a corvette picture of a xmas parade from random surfing and made it an avatar. It was a pic of some unknown chearleaders marching in front of a blue coupe. I thought it was great statement about Corvettes and Parades and Chearleaders! I have a Convertible. Evenually the owner of the vette was told and emailed me. He was flattered. I used it for a while and moved on.
John,
I've been meaning to ask you, do you mind if I use that holiday photo of you and your family as my new avatar? My family looks just like that!
Thanks, I KNEW you wouldn't mind...

I had a rift with a guy a few years ago that posted a picture of my 81 in his photo album...
When I confronted him he said he really liked the photo and had always wanted one the same color because his dad had one...
As it turned out he was just a kid that didn't even own a car and was all over the forum. Really funny part is that he was posting technical answers and commenting on "in his experience" crap.
Bottom line, I would sure like to know how many CF regulars are posers. Flattered, no; creeped, you bet!

All the dude needed to do, is not get a avatar from the same forum you are on, like da....go to maybe, autotrader, kbb, so on..yea anymore cameras are pretty inexpensive.....My FRC is red, plenty of choices, but I want my FRC, not another....
Don't know that there are any rules prohibiting it. I guess as long as he is not using it in a negative way, I'd be OK with it. But it is unusual that someone would use a pic of another person's car as their avatar.
I don't think it is any more unusual that using some hot chick's pic as your avatar bending over someone else's car. This is silly. If it was a pic of your face then so be it.. But dude your car is NOT and extension of yourself although some people tend to think corvette owners buy it for that reason .. ahem.
