Default Does anyone remember this old thread...

This is from probably 4 or 5 years ago. I don't remember it exactly but there was a young african american forum member who "claimed" to own a vette and when forum members found out he was a poser, they photoshopped a picture of him on a moped or something and put him in all kinds of hilarious positions. Does anyone have an old link to this? It was hysterical and very creative.

It predates me too - and I have been here since 2003.

You might post the question in OT where most of the activity went on....

Willa came to my home in Atlanta one day to help me with a heads/cam project. Unfortunately, his "Vette" was in the shop getting a ding out of the door at the time so he drove his dd Honda Civic over instead.

Here Willa (right) and I are taking a break to pose for a photo.
