I remember he was the "Dry Guy" he would always pop up in the dry vs. wet debates. I don't know the whole story but it must suck to get your vette repo'd

While I don't care to see the misery of others posted for entertainment, it would be interesting to have a thread labeled,
"What happened to USERNAME"? Where are they now?

I bet when Robert goes to the Dentist he will only allow spray, no local anesthetic or water mist. JK if your out there.

Man that's a nice set-up I hate to see it happen to the man.

Does anyone know how much he was putting the squeeze on it?

I hear the water mist can 'puddle'

I'm not an expert on c5 value but is that asking price way too high for a heavily modded, re-poed Z06?

Hey hate to hijack the thread, but I saw a review you wrote or some comments about dynotune...how do you still like the product? I was thinking about getting their plate kit system.

Yeah i remember that guy. been a while back. he backfired and blew up his **** and then put in a bigger cube motor. from what i remember he was some kind of custom yacht engine room technician or something like that. im guessing yacht sales and service took a dive the last couple years? i never had a problem with the guy. and he always posted alot of info on his findings. seems like there was alot of drama around him though. arguments, suspensions, thread locks etc. sucks for him i suppose, unless he sold it to someone and they lost the car. either way, someone might pick up a cool vette.
