I missed the "Willa Years" or perhaps minutes. 
One member I do remember was around when I joined CF was a young guy who had a very major mod project on his orange vette. I think it was a coupe but may have been an FRC. Major mods to almost every system funded by maxing out a half dozen credit cards. He ended up selling the car and never got to enjoy it as the credit card debt caught up. Probably $30-40k as I remember. It was a beautiful car but he ended up selling the car, loosing his a$$ and moving back with his parents while he paid off the CC debt.
Mod fever was truly a disease in his case.

I remember it well!! 
One of the posts Willa made was a question about a dent on the rear of his C5 quarter panel...
One member told him "Just go over to the other side of the car and kick it as hard as you can, that way you will have matching dents"

That old thread in the archives was 13 pages deep. 3/4s of the picture links were not valid any more. The archives only had 4 pages available, so imagine what that thread must have looked like.
