I behave now.

Im pretty sure i could get banned quick.... but..... I seem to always overdo things. I was a member of a jeep cherokee forum and ended up being banned for life.... I dont know if I can do the short term banning thing.

There once was a lad named Hokie who grew up south of the Macon County line in Roanoke Virginia. You need to keep up with me as the story skips around a little.

Even as a wee lad, Hokie had great taste in cars. In fact, at the age of two his poor cancer ridden Father allowed him to pick out their first Corvette. Being a tasteful lad, he picked out the most magical color possible, silver beige metallic;



Now we move on in life and Hokie grew into a strapping young man of 6'3" with 19" biceps;



Ignore the picture, we all now it adds a few pounds and makes you look 4 or 5 inches shorter. Hokie grew up in a most majestic home in the best part of Roanoke with doctors and lawyers;



He was wealthy in bricks and was the first in the neighborhood to keep a ladder on his roof, such forward thinking.

He lived happily with his mail order bride he bought in Vietnam, where he also owned a palatial estate.



As one of the elite in Roanoke, he was able to keep his 200 MPH bike in his bedroom, which was necessary as his bike was faster than a nitrous NHRA bike and he could ride a wheelie over the complete 1/4 mile;



The one day, his poor cancer ridden Father had an opportunity to purchase a one off 1987 silver beige Corvette with a 400 big block, the only one built. His father even had a brochure from the dealer to back it up;



Well, the simple folks at the CF were confused, did he pick it out at two or did his Father buy it when he was 16? It was a real difficult thing to understand.

Well Hokie decided he would do an swap to a twin turbo LX , however he used poor judgement and used another forum member's pics. Seems as though Hokie was just pulling our leg, it was a real disappointment.

But to rebuild our confidence in him, Hokie built a 200 MPH kitchen table;



We were all so impressed! However, it was too good to be true and he sold the race table. Then Hokie disappeared from the CF only to show up on multiple gaming, movie and computer sights with tales of his his new Corvettes, C6's of such glory;





Our Hokie has such influence, he was able to get a Lemans Blue C6 in a year they were never made, does Hokie run GM? Oh wait, he does manual labor for a pool company breaking up concrete which in his mind makes him a concrete engineer and even helped Pete design a patio.

So basically we are left with this;



the end...................
OMG! that took alot of effort...... But pretty clear. And you didn't fab any of that up? Could it really be that bad?

Its difficult to enjoy CF sometimes. You see a join date from about yesterday and got to wonder: Do I type out a long useful, informative post to answer the new guy's question, or just blow it off because it's just the hippies alter-ego or some other asshole?

sometimes the real people will post pictures, but sometimes vette people are pretty old school and shun digital tech...you can easily call someone a troll when they aren't.

I have no problem "busting balls...." but dont you guys think, maybe lift the ban, and he can stand up for himself. Just feels wrong justifying it with the guy blocked...

Im a newbie though, so maybe you guys allready tried??

Lol... So is it like a RIGHT OF PASSAGE for this site to get a BAN from that one....? lol

4. Hillbilly opened hood of Gawdawful C4, nasty small block with carb in place, hillbilly got testy when he said it was modified and wouldn't pass emissions, said "we got rid of computer shit, now it runs right". Told them to get the hell off his property.

5. Hero of the day claims hillbilly came after them with blunt object in one hand, Schlitz in the other. HOTD drew his weapon, firing one round into actor's bottle, thus shattering it and causing drunken hillbilly to retreat.

6. The end, moral of story, never use Craigslist.

7. Several of us called him out, essentially calling him a liar. I asked for pics of house, car, and hillbilly, and gave him an idea how to smoke out white trash specimen for pics.

8. Mods deleted thread just when it was getting good.


HOLY SHIT !!! I MISSED SOMETHING GOOD THERE!!!!!
