Sorry - no VIN in your profile and thus cannot verify ownership. And unless you are a VCA member you don't get the avatar I am afraid. Sorry about that!
Now THAT is FUNNY!!! Joe has the black RT/10 that I drove 3+ hours ONE-WAy to look over for Francisco a couple years ago....how could ANYONE forget THAT!?!?! I wouldn't really call that a friendly reply to someone who has been a Viper owner longer than most. Knowing Joe...he probably thought F-you and moved on. Lets try to FOSTER growth and not accelerate attrition, eh?
Here's what I would have said.
"Joe...how's that black POS running lately?!?!?!
I'll hook you up as a Viper Owner....please make sure you update your profile with your VIN as it is now required (but NOT viewable to public eyes). Policy shift to allow only VCA Members Avatars, sorry about that. Yes......a deviation from YEARS of policy....but it had to happen."
To see Joe, a LONG TIME member addressed in such an impersonal manner just isn't like you!!!! Come on, bring back Chris!!!
