He's also a fanatical C6 hater (at least the front end).

But he's not all bad, he's growing his silver locks to make a wig for kids with cancer, we all just wish it would grow faster so we could cut it off already.
Armor All?? - them's fighting words!!...Otherwise, you left out the true definition of "Pool Boy". As there isn't enough room on this post to define my position as THE President of the GOCC and my roll as "Pool Boy", I'll just say that the women understand, Thank You Very Much!

I'm sure it was poetic license, even our anti-waxer Bryan knows no one uses that greasy kids stuff anymore, especially an aficionado of concours finishing such as yourself. As for the "Pool Boy" part, allow me to elucidate, he tends to cater to (married) women, especially those WITHOUT an actual pool. But on the plus side he doesn't charge much, and he doesn't always eat dinner with us.
Me, I'm the President of the GOCC, also a waxer, and also found at WSIR events. An aircraft designer by day. Remember the DC-9 Swamp Dart down in Florida? I didn't work on that one. Remember the 727 Pop Top conversion in Hawaii? I didn't work on that one either. But I know I've worked on some I can't remember, and some I can't forget. Also, it is rumored I have partial ownership in Rydell (not true, but a loyal customer).

But Bruce... I think I can elucidate myself.

Bruce is a mild mannered gentleman. He can't help it if he became an engineer. Unlike the Frenchican Bruce was not the pillar of his community during his youth. Some may recognize him form his second floor bonsai runs with his Harley. If your ever flying on an airplane and you here a cell phone ringing from somewhere under the floor it's probably a call for Bruce. He lives in a modest house with his wife Tracy and a Jack Russell Terrier who has been known to have love affairs with a people of the French persuasion. Bruce is the GOCC's official automotive historian and sometimes fills in as the GOCC's wordsmith at least during TROJAN football season. His only fault is his love for wagon wheels. God help him...

THis is some good stuff... We haven't gotton around to BlackOps or Xtreme1 yet.

BlackOps is the first of our group to take the C6 plunge. Although he works for Toyota, his heart is shaped like a bow tie. He is to Toyota what BPappy is to aerospace, only on a techical level. He's thier IT guy. What many don't know is that he secretly installs worms and viruses at night and removes them during the day. He calls it "Job Security"

Xtreme1 is the 'mod king' of the group. He can make any mod work with a little tape and JB Weld. Although he has a C5 vert, you would never catch him with the top down. This is typical of Paul. He has an identity issue. He must. Who else has a new Dodge mega cab diesel AND a Scion Xb? There is a 'Clark Kent' aura about him. This froma guy that breaks all the rules on motor vehicle complience with his vette AND holds a position as a state building code enforcer.

Thanks for the mostly kind words, however I must make an effort to eenhance the accuracy of two of your statements. One, the house may be modest, but we are not modest at all around our house, ask the Frenchican. Second and more importantly, Boing-Boing is an American Rat Terrier.

Jason, as the Orange County ambassador of the GOCC and Presidente for life, you can see that there's a lot of love in this group. And we share it freely, sort of like the '60's all over again.

Like FiFi pointed out Networking is a way of life with me, and keeps me in Corvettes.

Welcome to the SoCal forum.

I'll answer those questions...
1. Is Dirty Howies car lower than yours? Yes, but do I care? No.
2. Who think howies car is fast? It's fast, but is it too fast for the driver?
3. Dirty Howie, is he really dirty?Oh, the stories the GOCC could tell you about this one, but we wouldn't want CPS called on him.
4. How did he get the name Dirty Howie? From the GOCC, where else???
5. I think Dirty Howies cool, do you.He has his moments
6. I once knew a rapper named Dirty, oh, he was a bastard.Does he need a good dentist?

Most of us don't really worry about Howie, until he does something stupid even for him; which does keep us pretty busy. But we would rather hi-jack your thread next time.
