If it was me-I would ask him to have it removed and find his own avatar-it's sort a . OR charge a monthly fee.

...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...to imitate someone is to pay the person a genuine compliment, often an unintended compliment.

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.

Thats weird BUT, its not a first

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!

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.

chill out lol
